Psalms
{Psalm
of Reverse Concentration}
{Verse
1: Occupation with God under Pressure and Application of the Essence
of God Rationale}
1b~~O
'Elohiym/Godhead . . . You are my 'El/God. My soul is thirsty for You.
My
body longs for You in a dry and weary land, {Note: David has sent the Ark back to the tabernacle in Jerusalem. He is thirsty for physical water and the water he drinks in the tabernacle - the Water of the Word.} 2~~I have seen You in the tabernacle. I went to see Your power and Your glory. 3~~For Your grace is better than life. Therefore, my lips will praise You. 4~~I will praise You as long as I live.
I
will lift up my hands in Your name.
5~~My
soul will be satisfied with Your 'rich food'. My lips will praise You.
6~~When
in my bed, I remember You.
I
think of You during the night watches.
7~~Because
You have been my help, {Note: David recognizes he has taken all precautions by setting up guards in the bivouac at night but he recognizes human security is no replacement for divine security - Wall of fire principal.}
{Rationales
of Reverse Concentration}
Your
Right Hand sustains me. {Note: A person divorced from reality would NOT post any guards at all. Notice that David did all that he humanly could and then recognizes that it now is left in the Hands of the Lord. David is in touch with reality.}
9~~They
{the revolutionists} who seek my life/soul, They will go down into the depths of the earth.
10~~They
will be delivered to the sword. They will become food for the jackals.
11~~But
the king {David himself}
Every
one who swears by him But the mouth of those who speak lies will be stopped. {Note: The acrostic Psalm 25 comes from here. It is the prosperity of Humility psalm.}
