Psalms
Chapter
37
1-2~~{An
acrostic Psalm of} David
Do
not fret/'become resentful' {tsalach - no mental attitude sins}
because
of evildoers {reversionists like King Saul},
be
not intensively envious/jealous toward wrongdoers 2~~
for
they will 'be cut off'/'be circumcised' {namal} like the grass,
and
wither up like the green herb.
{Note: Greatness and jealousy never live together! Forget what others have! It matters not!}
3~~Trust
in Jehovah/God
{batach - body slam - slam your problems on the Lord},
and
manufacture good
{'asah -capacity to produce divine from bible doctrine}.
Permanently
dwell happily in the land
{shakan - permanent dwelling in blessing},
and
feed/graze {ra`ah} on doctrine
{'emuwnah - the famine responsive word for doctrine}.
4~~Delight
yourself in Jehovah/God
{`anag - amorous behavior word - a woman flirting with a man -
means 'be occupied with God'}
and
He will give you the 'deepest desires'
{mish'alah - requests beyond what you could ever
expect to receive}
of
your 'right lobe'/heart.
5~~Commit
your way to Jehovah/God
{galal - literally 'roll the stones out of your way'},
trust
also in Him,
and
He will manufacture {'asah} it {the solutions}.
6~~And
He will cause to bring forth/manufacture {yatsa'}
your
righteousness . . . on the basis of the light {from doctrine},
and
your character/wisdom/judgment
as
the 'double-light'/noonday/'bright noon day light' {tsohar}.
{Note: This is a picture of God working brightly through you.}
{Faith
Rest Technique}
7~~'Be
silent' {and concentrate} . . .in Jehovah/God
{damam - means to be silent, quiet. In biblical terms it means to be
quiet and concentrate on the study of the Word},
and
'whirl yourself around'
{chuwl - to whirl around is a picture of rebound - turning back to
God when you go astray}.
Do
not fret/'become resentful' {tsalach - no mental attitude sins}
of
those who display prosperity
in
his way of life {derek} . . .
{about}
the man
who
manufactures wicked schemes.
8~~Cease
from anger
{motivated by mental attitude sins - jealousy, bitterness etc.},
and
forsake/desert wrath.
Do
not fret,
it
leads only to manufacturing/doing evil {your own reversionism}.
9~~For
evildoers shall be cut off,
but
those who wait for Jehovah/God,
they
will inherit the earth.
10~~Yet
a little while
and
the wicked man will be no more,
and
you will 'look carefully'/discern {biyn}
for
his place,
and
he will not be there.
11~~But
the 'SuperGrace believer'/
'one
orientated to his surroundings with emphasis on grace' {`anav}
shall
inherit the earth;
and
shall 'express SuperGrace delight'
{`anag - sharing the happiness of God}
{to have prosperity and enjoy it}
themselves
in the abundance of 'inner peace'.
{Story
of Saul Against David}
12~~The
wicked/reversionist
{rasha` - unbelievers or believers imitating unbelievers in
reversionism - Saul}
'carefully
plan ways of doing the evil'/plots {zamam}
against
the just/righteous/'those with divine viewpoint'
{tsaddiyq - example David},
and
keeps on 'internally burning in his anger
and
jealousy of the prosperous one'
{idiom and probability literally: 'gnashes his teeth'}.
13~~The
Lord/'Adonay
shall
keep on jesting/toying/laughing with enjoyment {sachaq}
at
him {Saul} . . .
for
he {the Lord} sees
that
his {David/SuperGrace Believer's} day is coming.
{Note: For example in I Samuel 18, Saul tried to get David killed by requiring him to bring back the foreskins of 100 Philistines. So, God caused David to bring back 200 foreskins! This is the concept of 'being made a fool' here.}
{Reversionists
Attack SuperGrace Believers}
14~~The
wicked/reversionists {rasha`}
have
drawn out the sword,
and
have bent their bow,
to
cast down the poor and needy
{reversionists have no virtue - they will attack anyone they
see as against them},
and
to slay such as be of 'SuperGrace believer'/upright {yashar}
Way
of life {derek}
upright
conversation.
{Picture
of the Sin Unto Death of Reversionists}
15~~Their
sword shall enter into their own heart,
and
their bows shall be broken.
{Note: This is a picture of Saul, a great warrior in his own right, falling at the hands of the Philistines in the battle of Mount Gilboa. In I Chronicles 10:13-14, we see the reason for Saul's death.}
16~~A
little that a righteous/'SuperGrace Believer' has
is
better than the riches of many wicked/reversionists.
{Note: Why? Because you need capacity for happiness before you can enjoy the blessings that come from God. So, when you 'learn to be content' regardless of your circumstances, you are richer than the riches of other men with no capacity - which only comes from bible doctrine resident in your soul.}
17~~For
the arms/weapons {used in the sense of strength}
of
the wicked/reversionists shall be broken
but
Jehovah/God upholds/supports
{here in battle and between battles}
the
righteous/'SuperGrace believer'.
18~~Jehovah/God
knows/comprehends {yada` - Omniscience here}
the
days of the upright/'SuperGrace believer'
and
their inheritance shall be forever.
{Note: The SuperGrace believer lives one day at a time. And, God provides for that day all that he needs. God knew all His invisible heroes from eternity past - as with everything else He knows and always will know!}
{Note:
This verse is talking about the inheritance of SuperGrace believers
and gives us David as a great example. Now why? Because David has
recorded some of the biggest sins that a believer can commit -
adultery - murder - geographic disobedience to God's will on and on.
But, he rebounded and returned to SuperGrace status - as all
reversionists have the opportunity to do. The inheritance cannot be
lost. 'Once a believer, always a believer' is the doctrine of eternal
security. YOU did nothing meritorious to earn it, and you can do
nothing strong enough without merit to lose it! It is all about
God
. . . not about YOU!}
19~~They
shall not keep on being ashamed
in
the evil/wicked time
{in disaster or adversity SG has capacity to cope}
and
in the days of famine
{in economic disaster SG believer will have capacity to be content}
they
shall keep on being satisfied.
{Note: With capacity to share the happiness of God, the SuperGrace believer is always content regardless the circumstances.}
20~~But
the wicked/reversionist shall perish/
'wander
around until destroyed',
and
the enemies of Jehovah/God . . . {shall be} as the fat of lambs.
They
shall be consumed {kalah} . . .
into
smoke {`ashan}
shall
they be consumed/destroyed/'disappear like smoke' {kalah}.
21~~The
wicked/reversionist borrows {money, goods},
and
pays not again {welshes on obligations - no capacity for life}.
But
the righteous/'SuperGrace Believer'
shows
continual grace and keeps on giving.
22~~The
'blessed of Him' {barak - describes SuperGrace Believers}
shall
keep on inheriting the earth {referring to in time!}.
And
they that be cursed of Him shall be cut off
{no blessings in time and can be loss of rewards in eternity - but
not loss of salvation}.
23~~
The steps/'goings on'/'path' {mits`ad}
of
a good/strong man/'SuperGrace Believer'
{geber - another synonym for a SG believer}
are
established by Jehovah/God.
He
{SuperGrace believer} delights
in
His {God's} Way {derek - Way of Righteousness}.
{Doctrine
of Eternal Security}
24~~Though
he fall {believer out of fellowship},
he
shall not be utterly cast down . . .
for
Jehovah/God sustains/upholds him with His hand.
25~~I
{David} have been young . . .
and
now am old.
Yet
I have not seen
the
righteous/'SuperGrace believer' deserted/forsaken,
or
his descendants/seed {next generation} begging bread.
{Note: Perfect example was Solomon. From grace by association with David, he was a billionaire all his life.}
26~~The
One {God} . . . ever gracious/merciful,
and
'helps the helpless' {lavah - there to lend help when needed}.
And
his {SuperGrace Believer's} descendants/seed . . .
{receive}
blessing.
27~~'Swerve
aside'/'separate from' evil/reversionism,
and
manufacture {'asah} good
{out of SuperGrace knowledge divine good}.
And
dwell forever more.
28~~For
Jehovah/God keeps on loving justice
{referring to perfect fairness of the Lord},
and
does not forsake His 'godly ones'/saints.
They
are preserved forever
but
the seed of the wicked/reversionist shall be cut off.
{Note: Sooner or later God must cut off the line of the reversionist. RBT indicates that 3 generations of reversionism and God takes them out.}
{Note: See II Samuel 14:7. The courtroom setting that Joab set up should have failed. David probably wrote this psalm afterwards to remind all of us that the prosperity of the evil SHOULD be cut off!}
29~~The
righteous/'SuperGrace believer' shall inherit the land,
and
dwell therein forever.
30~~The
mouth of the righteous/'SuperGrace believer'
keeps
on utter categorically {hagah} wisdom {chokmah},
and
his tongue talks of justice/equity/fairness {mishpat}.
31~~The
law/'divine viewpoint in written form' {towrah}
of
his Elohiym/Godhead . . . {is} in his 'right lobe'/heart.
None
'of his steps'/'his walk in the {righteous} Way'
shall
not totter {no instability in the SuperGrace believer}.
32~~The
wicked/reversionist
'watches
for a chance to ambush' {tsaphah}
{can not believe what he sees so he observes and can not believe
what he sees so looks for a chance to ambush}
the
righteous/'SuperGrace Believer',
and
seeks to slay him.
33~~Jehovah/God
will not leave him {SuperGrace Believer}
in
his {wicked reversionist/s} hand,
nor
condemn him {SuperGrace Believer}
when
he {SuperGrace Believer} is judged/maligned/'run down'.
34~~Wait
{qavah - take in doctrine daily and wait for God's timing}
on
Jehovah/God,
and
keep His way {righteous way of life as set out by the Bible},
and
He {God}
shall
promote/'build an Edification Complex of the Soul in'/
Exalt
{ruwm} you . . .
to
inherit the land.
When
the wicked/reversionists are cut off,
you
shall see it.
{Note: David saw Goliath get it quickly and Saul over a longer period of time. On and on.}
35-36~~I
have seen the wicked/reversionist in great power {Saul},
and
spreading himself like an 'indigenous producing tree'/
'a
tree in its own soil producing beautifully' {ra`anan 'ezrach} 36~~
but
he {reversionist}
'passed
off the scene' {death or destruction and gone from power}
and,
lo, he was not.
Yes,
I looked for him, but he could not be found
{in the analogy, not even a stump remained}.
37~~Observe
{shamar}
the
'SuperGrace Believer'/perfect {tam - SG with Way of Life in view}
and
behold the 'straight and level'/upright
{yashar - SG with stability in view}.
For
the future/end/conclusion {'achariyth}
of
that man {SuperGrace believer}
is
prosperity/'inner happiness'/peace
{shalowm - and 'in time' is in view here}.
38~~But
the transgressors/reversionists {pasha`}
shall
'receive destruction'/'be desolate' . . .
together
{with other reversionists}.
The
future/end/conclusion {'achariyth - in time again}
of
the wicked/reversionist
shall
be cut off {karath - final stage of discipline - sin unto death}.
39~~But
the deliverance/salvation
of
the righteous/'SuperGrace Believer'
is
of Jehovah/God.
Their
strength . . . in the time of trouble/disaster.
40~~And
Jehovah/God shall aid/help them {SuperGrace Believers},
and
deliver them.
He
{God} shall deliver them {SuperGrace Believer}
from
the wicked/reversionists,
and
cause them to be delivered {yasha`},
because
they 'trust when they are hurt' {chacah}
in
Him.
{Note: Chacah is the word used for a small animal running away and hiding in a crack in a rock.}
