Psalms
Chapter
84
{David
wrote this Psalm about moving to spiritual maturity}
1a
{Title} To the Chief Muscian . . . Gittith
1b
A Psalm {mizmowr}
for
the sons of Korah.
1c~~How
loved are your dwelling places,
O
Jehovah/God of the armies!
{Note:
The dwelling places here refer to places where the Word of God is taught.}
2~~My
soul longed {intensive love}
and
even yearned
{motivation word - positive volition}
for
the courts of Jehovah/God {place of doctrinal instruction}.
My
right lobe {soul - the real YOU - the place of mental activity}
and
my flesh {body}
rejoice
over the Living 'El/God.
3~~Therefore,
the sparrow
{the most helpless of birds - analogy to believers}
also
has found a house
{represents security - the house of the Lord is where security
resides}.
And
the swallow a nest for herself,
where
she may lay her young.
Even
your altars
{place of right pastor and teaching of doctrine},
O
Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts,
my
King
{emphasis on the humanity of Christ - emphasis on Jewish
battleground royalty}
and
my 'Elohiym/Godhead
{emphasis on the deity of Christ - together is the hypostatic union
of Christ}.
4~~Happinesses
{+H - spiritual, material, associations, historical impact, etc.} .
. .
to
those who dwell in Your house!
{consistent function of GAP, take in doctrine daily}
They
{mature believers} are ever praising You.
Selah
{Selah means singers rest and instruments play on -
it is a picture of you resting while the Grace of God continues on}
5~~Happinesses
. . . to the man {mature believer}
whose
power is vested in You
{doctrine resident in the soul of the mature believer}.
In
whose 'right lobe' . . . {are}
the
'Ways'/'highways to maturity' {Zion}! (Ultra-SuperGrace)
6~~Passing
through the valley of tears
{Baca -after you crack the maturity barrier it is a difficult phase -
intensive testing for spiritual advancement - no man's land - place
of testing},
they
make it to the well {ultra- super-grace}.
The
early rain also covers it with blessings.
7~~They
advance from power {super-grace A and super-grace B}
to
power {ultra-super-grace},
Every
one of them is seen in Zion
by
Elohiym/Godhead {means they receive the support of God}.
8~~O
Jehovah/God . . . Elohiym/Godhead of the army,
hear
my prayer!
Listen,
O Elohiym/Godhead of Jacob! Selah.
9~~Behold
our shield,
O
Elohiym/Godhead {doctrine resident in the soul},
and
therefore guard with respect your appointed ones.
10~~For
a day in Your courts {in bible class}
is
better than a thousand outside {in revisionism}.
I
would rather be at the threshold
of
the house of my Elohiym/Godhead
{a doorman at the house of Jehovah/God},
than
dwell in the tents of evil.
11~~For
Jehovah/God . . . Elohiym/Godhead
is
a sun {a blessing in context - warm and energy}
and
shield {security provision of logistical grace}.
Jehovah/God
gives grace and promotion.
He
will NOT hold back good from those who walk with HONOR.
12~~O
Jehovah/God of the army,
happinesses
to the man who depends on YOU!
{Note:
This Psalm is the Psalm of growing to maturity. It is a good prelude
to Philippians Chapter 3, and we continue to grow in grace, through
no matter what happens in this life.}
