Psalm 119:49-72
Zayin
49 Remember your word to your servant,
in which You have made me hope.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction,
that
your promise gives me life.
51 The insolent utterly deride me,
but I do not turn away from your law.
52 When I think of your rules from of old,
I take comfort, O Lord.
53 Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked,
who forsake your law.
54 Your statutes have been my songs
in the house of my sojourning.
55 I remember your name in the night, O Lord,
and keep your law.
56 This blessing has fallen to me,
that I have kept your precepts.
Heth
57 The Lord is my portion;
I promise
to keep your words.
58 I entreat your favor
with all my heart;
be gracious to me
according to Your promise.
59 When I think on my ways,
I turn my feet to your testimonies;
60 I hasten and do not delay
to keep your commandments.
61 Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me,
I do not forget your law.
62 At midnight I rise to praise You,
because of Your righteous rules.
63 I am a companion of All who fear you,
of those who keep Your precepts.
64 The earth, O Lord,
is full
of Your steadfast Love;
teach me
Your statutes!
Teth
65 You have dealt well with your servant,
O Lord, according to Your Word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge,
for I believe in Your commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray,
but now I keep your word.
68 You are good and do good;
teach me your statutes.
69 The insolent smear me with lies,
but with my whole heart I keep your precepts;
70 their heart is unfeeling like fat,
but I delight in your law.
71 It is good for me that I was afflicted,
that I might learn your statutes.
72 The law of Your mouth is better to me
than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
Psalm 119 uses all the Hebrew Alphabet.
Some sources say this was Solomon teaching his 3 children. Solomon had 700 wives and concubines - - - and 3 children. Learning the Hebrew Alphabet as assent of the Temple Southern Stairs.
Rehoboam - the first monarch of the Kingdom of Judah after the split of the United Kingdom of Israel. He was a son of and the successor to Solomon and a grandson of David. In the account of I Kings and II Chronicles, Rehoboam saw his rule limited to only the Kingdom of Judah in the south following a rebellion by the ten northern tribes of Israel in 932/931 BC, caused by his stubborn refusal to listen to older advisors with a usurper waiting for Rehoboam to fail, which led to the formation of the independent Kingdom of Israel under the rule of Jeroboam in the north.
Taphath - (Hebrew טפת, "Drop") was a daughter of Solomon and wife of one of her father's twelve regional administrators, the son of Abinadab (First Kings 4:11)
Basemath ~ Basemath, the daughter of Solomon; a wife of Ahimaaz. (1 Kings 4:15)
The stairs were used as a tool used in teaching today - employing a clever teaching method!
Psalms are thoughts on the nature of God. His vast attributes and wonderful qualities.
Psalms are useful in framing our own prayers.
With Psalm 119, we recognize this is a prayer that is good - especially in times of stress.
The Hebrew Name for this Prayer Psalm is in Hebrew, known by its opening words,
"Ashrei temimei derech"
"Happy are those whose way is perfect."
Obviously, this would be God. And because God's ways are not our ways - Forgiven people are covered in the Righteousness of Jesus. Our prayers are heard, we receive comfort. We look to God and do not leave empty.
Hope - God favors me.
Faith - God says He does.
Love - All in the Universe - believing in me, guiding me, comforting me, strengthening me, sustaining me, blessing me. Allowing me to draw from Father God.
Love never fails.
God is the Light within us. Sustaining Him. We can hand over to God our cares and concerns, worries and He will take them. God says in Psalm 139 even what is dark - is Light to Him because He shines that brightly.
That is our Father God!
Psalm 138:8
The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me;
Your steadfast Love, O Lord,
endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.
Abba, Father,
Father God, we abide in You.
Knowing apart from You
we have no good.
You are the Vine, we are the branches.
Father, please, each day grow us to be the people dear to You.
Each day, provide us the path
You would have us to travel and journey along.
You are the Light of the World.
Dwell in us, please, Father.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to seek You first.
In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.
May the Lord God
give us Justice,
Righteousness,
Goodness,
Joy and Love
to sweep the Nation
and those who
want All of God's Blessings
to surround His People.
Bless this Nation with
Truth, Mercy and Justice
that we might shine
as His Light
to the Nations, Again.
May we see Victory of Jesus
Soon
BLESSINGS
for Those mighty ones
who bring
Goodness and Hope and Prosperity
pleasing the Lord.
In Jesus Christ is
Our Love, Joy and Hope.
Thank You for Jesus.
Please pray for my phone to be found.
We ask this in the Highest Name You've given us;
Jesus!
Amen.
