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.}
