{Spiritual
Victory of the Mature Believer}
{Verses
1-3 Cave of Adullam}
1~~To
the Chief Musician - do not destroy {'Al tashcheth} . . .
a
golden psalm {miktam} of David
when
he fled from Saul in the caves
{referring to the caves of Adullam in verses 1-3 - see I Samuel
22:1 and caves of An-ga-de (sp) verses 4-6, verses 7-11 are
the victories in these caves}
Give
grace to me {chanan} O 'Elohiym/Godhead,
give
grace to me {chanan} . . .
for
my soul finds refuge {chacah} in You
{David did not rely on the stronghold of Adullam - his refuge was in
God}.
Yes,
in the 'shadow of Your wings'
{idiom meaning protection like a bird protecting its young under its
wing picture of protection in offensive movement (in contrast to
the protection in the caves)}
will
I make my refuge {chacah},
until
these catastrophes {havvah}
pass
over {`abar} .
{Note:
'Al tashcheth means 'do not destroy' here this refers to David at
the cave of Adullam. And it is referring to 'do not destroy' doctrine.
Later it is used to also mean 'do not destroy' Saul. Saul was God's
king and for which God to deal.}
2~~
I {David} will call for help
to
'Elohiym/Godhead the Most High God {'Elyown El} . . .
Who
will bring it to an end/completion {for me}
{gamar - referring to David's war with Saul}.
3~~He
{God} shall send from the heavens,
that
He might cause to deliver me {David}
{David means God has decreed this in eternity past and it will come
true}.
He
has reproached the one {Saul}
seeking
to annihilate {sha'aph} me.
Selah
{Selah means singers rest and instruments play on -
it is a picture of you resting while the Grace of God
continues on}
Elohiym/Godhead
shall send forth {to us}.
His
grace {checed}
and
His Doctrine/Truth {'emeth}
{provisions/rations from Headquarters}.
4
My soul is among lions.
And
I lie even among those who are set on fire,
even
the sons of men,
whose
teeth are spears and arrows,
and
their tongue a sharp sword.
5
Be you exalted, O 'Elohiym/Godhead,
above
the heavens.
Let
Your glory be above all the earth.
6
They have prepared a net for my steps;
my
soul is bowed down.
They
have dug a pit before me,
into
the midst whereof they are fallen themselves.
Selah
{Selah means singers rest and instruments play on -
it is a picture of you resting while the Grace of God
continues on} .
{Verses
7-11: Quoted In Psalm 108:1-5}
7~~My
heart/'right lobe' is stabilized {kuwn},
O
'Elohiym/Godhead.
I
will sing and 'touch the strings' {zamar} . . .
{zamar referred to a 'sul-try' (sp) which is a 12 string instrument}
also/even
. . . {expressing} my honor {kabowd}.
8
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp.
I
myself will awake early.
9
I will praise you,
O
Lord/'Adonay, among the people.
I
will sing unto You among the nations.
10
For Your mercy is great unto the heavens,
and
Your Truth/Doctrine unto the clouds.
11
Be you exalted, O 'Elohiym/Godhead,
above
the heavens.
Let
your glory be above all the earth.
