Psalms
Chapter
61
{Note: RBT says this could have been the Prayer David Prayed when he first learned of the Absalom Revolution (see II Samuel Chapter 15).
1a``{Title}
To the Chief Musician {natsach}
a
taunting song {n@giynah}
of
David.
1b~~Hear my cry, O 'Elohiym/Godhead.
Listen to my prayer.
2~~From
the end of the land
I
call to You.
When
my heart/'right lobe' is faint/overwhelmed . . .
lead
me to the Rock that is higher than I.
3~~For
You have been my refuge . . .
a
strong tower against the enemy.
4~~I
shall dwell forever in Your tent.
{the tabernacle where bible doctrine was first communicated to
David}
I
shall take refuge under the shelter of Your wings.
{claiming the promises of God - 1st stage of the Faith Rest Drill}
Selah
{Selah means singers rest and instruments play on -
it is a picture of you resting while the Grace of God continues on}.
5~~For You have heard my vows, O 'Elohiym/Godhead.
You
have given to me /'inheritance of the client nation'
'the
heritage of those that fear Your Name'.
6~~Add
days to the king's life.
{means David's own life and the client nation is in danger of being
destroyed}
His
years . . . for generation after generation.
{praying to be permitted to live through more generations}
7~~He
will remain forever in the presence of 'Elohiym/Godhead.
{David's understanding of eternal security - once saved always
saved}
Assign
{manah}
Grace
{checed} and doctrine/truth {'emeth} . . .
that
they may guard/protect him {king David here}.
{RBT says there are 3 categories of truth 1) Laws of establishment
for all people 2) gospel for unbelievers to hopefully believe in and
3) Bible doctrine - for believers to study and grow in spiritual
maturity}
8~~Consequently,
I sing praise unto Your Name forever,
that
I may daily perform my vows.
{means to live according to the doctrine resident in his soul -
application of doctrine to experience - in David's case to fulfill
all
his obligations as King . . . as unto the Lord.}
