Shalom.

Of the great teachings in The Bible, Psalm 119 fits very well in that category.  Therefore our teaching will continue in Psalm 119 from Verses 57-72.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, BEFORE I WAS AFFLICTED I WENT ASTRAY, BUT NOW HAVE I KEPT YOUR WORD.

You will notice that the writer shows his or her love and close relationship to GOD by focusing on GOD’S Words, His Testimonies, His Commandments, His Law of Moses, His Judgments, His Precepts, and His Statutes in these Verses.

So with that said, let’s read Psalm 119.57-72.

PSALM 119.57  YOU ARE MY PORTION, O LORD.  I HAVE SAID THAT I WOULD KEEP YOUR WORDS.

The Word PORTION in Hebrew, as in, YOU ARE MY PORTION, O LORD, is KHEY’LEHK that means INHERITANCE.

AND INHERITANCE, AS YOU ALL KNOW, IS SOMETHING YOU INHERIT.  AND WHAT THE WRITER OF PSALM 119 WRITES IS, WE INHERIT THE GOD OF CREATION WHEN WE ARE DOERS OF EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.  AND THAT INCLUDES LIVING BY THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD IN THE LAW OF MOSES.

THE LAW OF MOSES REQUIRES ATONEMENT FOR ALL PEOPLE.  NOT JUST ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

AND MESSIAH YESHUA, BY HIS ATONING DEATH AND SHED BLOOD AS A HUMAN BEING, IS OUR ATONEMENT THAT REPLACES THE ANIMAL SACRIFICE WHILE THERE IS NO TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM.  

AND MESSIAH YESHUA IS GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM ELOHIM.

THEREFORE MESSIAH YESHUA IS FULLY PART OF TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES.

GENESIS 4.1-4, LEVITICUS 17.8, 9, 11, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, CHRISTIAN BIBLE ISAIAH 9.6, HEBREW BIBLE MICAH 5.1, CHRISTIAN BIBLE MICAH 5.2, LEVITICUS 4.24, ISAIAH 53.10, EZEKIEL 45.17, ZECHARIAH 14.1-4,21, JOHN 12.44-45, JOHN 14.9, ROMANS 2.13, ROMANS 5.11

AND THE WRITER CONTINUES IN VERSE 57, I HAVE SAID THAT I WOULD KEEP YOUR WORDS.

GOD SAYS TO YOU IN THE LAW OF MOSES, ONLY BE STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS THAT YOU OBSERVE TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL THE TORAH, ALL THE LAW OF MOSES WHICH MOSES MY SERVANT COMMANDED YOU.  DO NOT TURN FROM IT TO THE RIGHT HAND OR TO THE LEFT THAT YOU SHALL PROSPER WHEREVER YOU GO.

THIS BOOK OF THE LAW SHALL NOT DEPART OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, BUT YOU SHALL MEDITATE IN IT DAY AND NIGHT THAT YOU SHALL OBSERVE TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN IT.  FOR THEN YOU SHALL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS, AND THEN SHALL YOU HAVE GOOD SUCCESS.

HAVE NOT I COMMANDED YOU?  BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE.  DO NOT BE AFRAID, NEITHER BE DISCOURAGED, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.

NO ONE, NOR ANY RELIGION, NOT EVEN GOD CAN CHANGE THE WORD OF GOD, OR ABOLISH IT.  BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN, THE WORD OF OUR GOD SHALL STAND FOREVER.

JOSHUA 1.7-9, DEUTERONOMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4, DEUTERONOMY 28.1-68, ISAIAH 40.8, 1 PETER 1.23-25

PSALM 119.58  I ENTREATED YOUR FAVOR WITH MY WHOLE HEART.  BE MERCIFUL TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.

THE WORD ENTREAT COMES FROM THE HEBREW KHAH’LAH THAT MEANS, TO ASK WITH SERIOUS INTENTION.

THE WORDS, YOUR FAVOR, COME FROM THE HEBREW FAH’NAY’KHAH THAT LITERALLY MEANS, YOUR FACE, THE FACE OF GOD.

SO VERSE 58 READS, WITH ALL SERIOUS INTENTION HAVE I SOUGHT YOUR FACE WITH MY WHOLE HEART.  BE MERCIFUL TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.

THE BIBLE SAYS, THE SECRET THINGS BELONG TO THE LORD OUR GOD, BUT THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE REVEALED BELONG TO US AND TO OUR CHILDREN FOREVER, THAT WE SHOULD DO ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LAW, THE LAW OF MOSES.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE FACT THAT THE LORD SPOKE THE CREATION INTO EXISTENCE, OR RAISED THE DEAD, OR BILLIONS OF OTHER MIRACLES THE LORD DID AND CONTINUES TO DO IS GOD’S SECRET ON HOW HE DOES THESE MIRACLES.

BUT WHAT IS NOT A SECRET IS FOR EVERYBODY TO LIVE ACCORDING TO ALL THE WORDS OF THE LAW OF MOSES. 

THAT IS GOD’S COMMANDMENT TO YOU AND ME, AND ALL MANKIND.

HEBREW BIBLE DEUTERONOMY 29.28, CHRISTIAN BIBLE DEUTERONOMY 29.29

I ALSO THINK ON THE WORDS OF YESHUA HA MASHIAKH WHO SAID, WOE UNTO YOU WHEN ALL MEN SHALL SPEAK WELL OF YOU.  FOR SO DID THEIR FATHERS TO THE FALSE PROPHETS.

DO YOU WANT THE MASSES TO SPEAK WELL OF YOU?  THEN TELL THEM THAT JESUS ABOLISHED THE LAW OF MOSES, AND THAT JESUS ALSO ABOLISHED, AND REPLACED THE OLD TESTAMENT.  JUST ABOUT EVERYONE WILL SPEAK WELL OF YOU BECAUSE, I GUESS, MOST PEOPLE LOVE A LIE.

BUT IF YOU TELL THE TRUTH THAT THE LAW OF MOSES STANDS FOREVER AS DOES THE OLD TESTAMENT, FEW WILL CARE TO HEAR.  LUKE 6.26, MATTHEW 7.13-14

THE WRITER OF PSALM 119 WRITES IN VERSE 58 THAT HE OR SHE WITH CONFIDENCE SEEKS AFTER THE LORD GOD FOR HIS MERCY BECAUSE THE WRITER OBEYS EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE, AND SEEKS GOD’S MERCY ACCORDING TO HIS WORD WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.

YOU ALSO CAN SEEK THE LORD’S MERCY WITH CONFIDENCE IF YOU LIVE BY EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.

PSALM 119.59  I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS, AND TURNED MY FEET TO YOUR TESTIMONIES.

WALKING IN NEWNESS OF LIFE BEGINS WHEN GOD OPENS YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTH OF HIS TESTIMONIES, HIS SPOKEN WORD IN THE BIBLE.

EARLIER THIS MORNING WE READ THAT WHILE ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, MESSIAH YESHUA SENT TWO OF HIS DISCIPLES INTO A VILLAGE NEARBY WHERE THEY WOULD FIND A COLT TIED UP.  AND MESSIAH SAID, UNTIE HIM AND BRING HIM HERE.  AND IF ANYONE ASKS YOU, WHY DO YOU UNTIE HIM?  YOU SHALL SAY TO HIM, BECAUSE THE LORD HAS NEED OF HIM.

SO THEY WENT INTO THE VILLAGE AND FOUND A COLT, EVEN AS THE LORD HAD SAID.  AND AS THEY WERE UNTYING THE COLT, THE OWNERS OF THE DONKEY SAID, WHY ARE YOU UNTYING THE COLT?  AND THEY SAID, THE LORD HAS NEED OF HIM.

AND THEY BROUGHT THE DONKEY TO THE MESSIAH YESHUA AND THEY PUT GARMENTS ON THE ANIMAL, AND THEY HELPED MESSIAH ONTO THE DONKEY.

AND THERE WAS A LARGE CROWD OF JEWISH PEOPLE ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.  AND AS HE WAS DESCENDING THE MOUNT ON THE DONKEY, THE JEWISH PEOPLE SPREAD THEIR CLOTHES BEFORE HIM AND THE WHOLE CROWD OF HIS DISCIPLES REJOICED AND PRAISED GOD WITH A LOUD VOICE FOR ALL THE MIGHTY WORKS THAT THEY HAD SEEN. 

AND THEY SHOUTED OUT, BLESSED IS THE KING THAT COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD,  PEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN HIS HIGH PLACES.

AND WHEN HE CAME NEAR JERUSALEM, HE LOOKED UPON THE CITY AND WEPT OVER IT.  AND HE SAID, IF YOU HAD KNOWN, EVEN YOU, AT LEAST IN THIS YOUR DAY, THE THINGS WHICH BELONG TO YOUR PEACE. 

BUT NOW THEY ARE HID FROM YOUR EYES.

FOR THE DAYS SHALL COME UPON YOU THAT YOUR ENEMIES SHALL CAST A TRENCH ABOUT YOU AND SURROUND YOU ALL AROUND, AND KEEP YOU IN ON EVERY SIDE.  AND SHALL LAY YOU EVEN WITH THE GROUND, AND YOUR CHILDREN WITHIN YOU.  AND THEY SHALL NOT LEAVE IN YOU ONE STONE UPON ANOTHER

BECAUSE YOU DID NOT KNOW THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION.  THAT IS TO SAY, BECAUSE YOU DID NOT KNOW THE TIME YOUR MESSIAH CAME TO VISIT YOU.

TO THIS DAY GOD HAS HIDDEN FROM MOST JEWISH PEOPLE THAT MESSIAH YESHUA IS OUR MESSIAH.  THAT HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY, HA SHEM ELOHIM, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.

BUT ONE DAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE 1,000 YEAR MESSIANIC KINGDOM ON EARTH IN ISRAEL, GOD WILL OPEN THE EYES OF MANY JEWISH PEOPLE WHO ARE THE HOLY SEED. 

ZECHARIAH 9.9, ZECHARIAH 12.10

AND WALKING IN NEWNESS OF LIFE BEGINS FOR ALL PEOPLE WHEN GOD OPENS THEIR EYES TO THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD IN THE BIBLE THAT THE LAW OF MOSES STANDS FOREVER, AND IS NEVER ABOLISHED AS SO MANY FOOLISHLY TEACH. 

AND THAT THE LAW OF MOSES IS FOR EVERYBODY TO LIVE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE GOD.  THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, AND MESSIAH YESHUA IS THAT ONE GOD. 

AND TNAKH, THE OLD TESTAMENT CONTAINS THE WORD OF GOD THAT STANDS FOREVER. 

PAUL WRITES IN GALATIANS 6.7, GOD IS NOT MOCKED.  MEANING GOD IS NOT RIDICULED BY THOSE WHO MAKE HIM OUT TO BE A LIAR WHEN THEY TEACH OR SAY THE LIE THAT THE LAW OF MOSES, THAT IS THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD, IS ABOLISHED, AND OR THE OLD TESTAMENT IS SUPPLANTED BY JESUS.  

ISAIAH 40.8, MALACHI 3.6, 1 PETER 1.23-25

SO THE WRITER OF PSALM 119 WRITES IN VERSE 59, I THOUGHT ON MY WAYS AND TURNED MY FEET TO YOUR TESTIMONIES, TO EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.  TURNING TO GOD’S TESTIMONIES RESULTS IN PERFECT SPIRITUAL EYESIGHT, LIVING BY THE TRUTH OF GOD RATHER THAN THE LIES OF THE FALSE PROPHETS.

ISAIAH 44.6, LUKE 19.28-44, LUKE 6.26

PSALM 119.60  I MADE HASTE, AND DELAYED NOT TO KEEP YOUR COMMANDMENTS.

THERE ARE NOT MANY IN THIS WORLD WHO KEEP GOD’S COMMANDMENTS.  GOD’S COMMANDMENTS ARE ALL GOD’S LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES IN THE FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE.  BUT THE CHILDREN OF GOD KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.  YOU ARE THE GODLY PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD.

PSALM 119.61  THE BANDS OF THE WICKED HAVE ROBBED ME.  BUT I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOUR LAW.

BETTER TRANSLATED, THE BANDS OF THE WICKED SURROUND ME.  BUT I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOUR TORAH, YOUR LAW OF MOSES.

THESE WORDS, THE BANDS OF THE WICKED, COME FROM THE HEBREW KHEV’LAY R’SHAH’EEM THAT MEAN, THE NOOSE OF DESTRUCTION OF THE UNGODLY, THOSE WHO REJECT TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES, SURROUND ME.  BUT I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOUR LAW, THE LAW OF MOSES.

WE WHO KEEP AND OBEY TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES ARE SURROUNDED BY MANY PEOPLE WHO REJECT THE LAW AND TRY TO CONVINCE US THAT WE SHOULD ALSO REJECT GOD’S LAW OF MOSES.  BUT WE NEVER FORGET GOD’S TORAH, HIS LAW OF MOSES THAT HAS ALL GOD’S LAWS, TEACHINGS, AND INSTRUCTIONS WRITTEN IN IT. 

HOW FOOLISH IT IS TO THINK THAT ANYBODY CAN ABOLISH THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD IN THE BIBLE.

PSALM 119.62  AT MIDNIGHT I WILL RISE AND GIVE THANKS TO YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS.

NOT EVERYBODY RISES AT MIDNIGHT TO  GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR HIS RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS.  GOD’S RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS ARE HIS VERDICTS AND HIS JUDICIAL DECISIONS THAT GOD MAKES ACCORDING TO TORAH, HIS LAWS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.

SO WHETHER IT’S MIDNIGHT OR ANY OTHER TIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT, THOSE OF US WHO SERVE GOD AND OBEY HIS TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES, WE GIVE THANKS TO HIM FOR MANY REASONS.  EVEN FOR HIS RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS.

PSALM 119.63  I AM A COMPANION OF ALL THEM THAT FEAR YOU, AND OF THEM THAT KEEP YOUR PRECEPTS.

OBEDIENCE TO EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE IS EVIDENCE YOU FEAR GOD. 

THINKING YOU FEAR GOD BUT DON’T DO A WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE LAW OF MOSES IS FEARING SOME RELIGION, OR FEARING SOME FALSE RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE.

FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.  FOR THAT IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MANKIND.  ECCLESIASTES 12.13

PSALM 119.64  THE EARTH, O LORD, IS FULL OF YOUR MERCY.  TEACH ME YOUR STATUTES.

AGAIN, I REFER BACK TO TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES WHERE GOD SAYS, KNOW THEREFORE THAT THE LORD YOUR GOD HE IS GOD, THE FAITHFUL GOD WHO KEEPS COVENANT AND MERCY WITH THEM THAT LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS.  THAT IS FOREVER.

GOD’S STATUTES ARE HIS COMMANDMENTS.  DEUTERONOMY 7.9, JOHN 14.15

THAT IS HOW YOU RECEIVE MERCY FROM GOD.  BY LOVING GOD AND KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS.  NOW YOU ARE BEING TAUGHT BY GOD.

PSALM 119.65  YOU HAVE DEALT WELL WITH YOUR SERVANT, O LORD, ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.

THE WRITER LOVES GOD, AND HAS A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BECAUSE HE OR SHE LIVES BY EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE. 

LET THAT BE YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT.

PSALM 119.66  TEACH ME GOOD JUDGMENT AND KNOWLEDGE, FOR I HAVE BELIEVED YOUR COMMANDMENTS.

GOOD JUDGMENT AND KNOWLEDGE COME FROM STUDYING THE BIBLE AND DOING WHAT GOD SAYS.  BELIEVING THE BIBLE’S FOUNDATIONAL TEACHING WRITTEN IN DEUTERONOMY 6.4 AND MARK 12.29 THAT TEACHES US TO BE OBEDIENT TO EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE THAT INCLUDES THE LAW OF MOSES, AND BELIEVING IN ONE GOD.  THAT MESSIAH YESHUA IS THAT ONE GOD.

DEUTERONOMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4

PSALM 119.67  BEFORE I WAS AFFLICTED I WENT ASTRAY.  BUT NOW HAVE I KEPT YOUR WORD.

THE WORD AFFLICTED COMES FROM THE HEBREW AH’NAH THAT MEANS CHASTENED.  CHASTENED MEANS BEING INFLICTED WITH SUFFERING OR PUNISHMENT.  AFFLICTED ALSO MEANS BEING HUMBLED, HURT, AND WEAKENED.  SOMETHING PROBABLY YOU ALL HAVE GONE THROUGH.

LIVING BY THE WORD OF GOD AND HAVING MESSIAH YESHUA FOR YOUR ATONEMENT DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE.  CHECK OUT THE PROPHETS, AND ALL THE GODLY MEN AND WOMEN IN THE BIBLE.  EVEN MESSIAH YESHUA WHO IS GOD ALMIGHTY.  BUT LIVING BY THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD IN THE BIBLE IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO IN THE SIGHT OF GOD.  AND GOD WILL GIVE YOU A GREAT LIFE ON EARTH, WITH WONDERFUL BLESSINGS, AND ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN WHEN YOU WALK IN THE WAYS OF GOD.  AND HAVING FAITH IN MESSIAH YESHUA FOR YOUR ATONEMENT.

HOWEVER THE BIBLE SAYS WE MUST GO THROUGH MUCH TRIBULATION TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

ACTS 14.21-22, 2 CORINTHIANS 12.7-10, 2 THESSALONIANS 1.4-5, 1 PETER 4.12-14

PSALM 119.68  YOU ARE GOOD, AND DO GOOD.  TEACH ME YOUR STATUTES.

I THINK OF DAVID’S WORDS IN THE PSALMS.  WHAT IS MAN THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM, AND THE SON OF MAN THAT YOU VISIT HIM?  PSALM 8

GOD IS GOOD, AND GOD DOES GOOD.  AND WHEN YOU STUDY GOD’S STATUTES, HIS LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES, YOU WILL KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD BETTER, AND YOU WILL KNOW AND UNDERSTAND EVEN BETTER THAT GOD IS INVOLVED IN YOUR LIFE PERSONALLY, AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT GOD IS INVOLVED THROUGHOUT WORLD HISTORY.

PSALM 119.69  THE PROUD HAVE FORGED A LIE AGAINST ME, BUT I WILL KEEP YOUR PRECEPTS WITH MY WHOLE HEART.

PRIDE IS DESCRIBED AS ARROGANCE.  ARROGANCE IS A DISPLAY OF SUPERIORITY AND SELF IMPORTANCE.  AND THE PROUD WHO LIE AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE DOERS OF THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD IN THE BIBLE REJECT THE WORD OF GOD AND LIVE THEIR LIFE REJECTING GOD BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY KNOW BETTER THAN GOD.  THAT IS PRIDE.

BUT THE MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD KEEP GOD’S PRECEPTS, GOD’S LAWS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.  THAT IS GODLINESS AND WISDOM.

PSALM 119.70  THEIR HEART IS AS FAT AS GREASE.  BUT I DELIGHT IN YOUR LAW.

HAVING A HEART AS FAT AS GREASE IS A HEART THAT DOES NOT KNOW GOD.  HOWEVER GOD IS ABLE TO GIVE THEM EYES TO SEE, AND EARS TO HEAR, AND A HEART TO UNDERSTAND, IF GOD SO DESIRES.  BUT WE ARE FORTUNATE, AND BLESSED, AND SPECIAL TO DELIGHT IN TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES.  ISAIAH 6.1-13

ISAIAH 6.13 

EATEN; THE HEBREW L’VAH’AYRE.  BETTER SAID, BURNED, OR CLEANSED OF THEIR SINS.  ISAIAH 4.4

SUBSTANCE = GODLINESS

THE HOLY SEED ARE THE HOLY PEOPLE.

PSALM 119.71  IT IS GOOD FOR ME THAT I HAVE BEEN AFFLICTED THAT I MIGHT LEARN YOUR STATUTES.

PERSONALLY, I WAS AFFLICTED WITH STUFF THAT MOVED ME TO READ THE BIBLE.  AND OVER THE COURSE OF TIME I LEARNED GOD’S STATUTES.  AND NOW I WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE TO THE GLORY OF GOD, MESSIAH YESHUA, HA SHEM ELOHIM.

PSALM 119.72  THE LAW OF YOUR MOUTH IS BETTER UNTO ME THAN THOUSANDS OF GOLD AND SILVER.

THOUSANDS OF GOLD AND SILVER ARE NICE, BUT TEMPORARY.  AND WHO KNOWS WHERE ONE’S FINAL DESTINATION IS?  BUT THE LAW FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD WITH FAITH IN MESSIAH YESHUA WHO FORGIVES ALL YOUR SINS IS ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN WHERE GOD WILL TAKE AWAY ALL TEARS FROM YOUR EYES, THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH, NEITHER SORROW, NOR CRYING, NEITHER WILL THERE BE ANY MORE PAIN, FOR THE FORMER THINGS WILL HAVE PASSED AWAY.  AND LIFE IN HEAVEN WILL BE SONGS AND EVERLASTING JOY AND GLADNESS, AND SORROW AND SIGHING WILL FLEE AWAY FOREVER.

REVELATION 21.1-4, ISAIAH 35. 10

SHALOM.

Shalom.

Our Teaching this morning will continue from Psalm 119.  And the writer’s words of encouragement will come from Verses 41-56.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS,  MY HANDS WILL I LIFT UP TO YOUR COMMANDMENTS WHICH I LOVE.

And With that said, let’s read Psalm 119.41-56.

PSALM 119.41  LET YOUR MERCIES COME ALSO UNTO ME, O LORD, EVEN YOUR SALVATION, ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.

The Word MERCIES comes from The Hebrew KHEH’SEHD meaning KINDNESS, GOODNESS, AND FAVOR.

And the Word SALVATION comes from The Hebrew TEH’SHUA meaning, TO BE RESCUED, DELIVERED, HELPED, SAFETY, AND VICTORY.

Theologically, or according to The Study of GOD in The Bible, Salvation, also The Hebrew Yeshua, includes Eternal Life in Heaven when you live by every Word GOD Speaks in The Bible that includes The Law of Moses, and you have Messiah Yeshua for your Atonement, the forgiveness of all your sins.

DEUTERONOMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4, ISAIAH 53.10, ROMANS 5.11

We know from reading Psalm 119 that the writer is in love with GOD.  He or she shows it by loving GOD’S Word, living by every Word that The LORD Speaks in The Law of Moses and throughout The Bible.

YOU ALSO WILL HAVE GOD’S MERCIES AND SALVATION WHEN YOU LIVE BY EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE THAT INCLUDES THE LAW OF MOSES, AND HAVE FAITH IN MESSIAH YESHUA FOR YOUR ATONEMENT.

PSALM 119.42  SO SHALL I HAVE WHEREWITH TO ANSWER HIM THAT REPROACHES ME.  FOR I TRUST IN YOUR WORD.

THE WORD WHEREWITH COMES FROM THE HEBREW DAH’VAHR MEANING WORD.  SO A BETTER TRANSLATION WOULD READ, SO SHALL I HAVE A WORD TO ANSWER THOSE THAT REPROACH ME.  FOR I TRUST IN YOUR WORD.

The Word REPROACH means, FINDING FAULT, or BLAMING YOU, or CRITICIZING YOU, or DISCREDITS YOU.  That is, A PERSON WHO SAYS SOMETHING THAT DAMAGES YOUR GOOD REPUTATION.

Trust in Hebrew is VAH’TAKH, that also means, CONFIDENCE, HAVING CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S WORD.

THEREFORE EVERY THING IN YOUR LIFE, WHETHER IT’S THINGS YOU DO, OR WORDS YOU SPEAK, SHOULD ALWAYS BE ACCORDING TO THE TEACHINGS OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.  AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S TEACHINGS WHEN YOU ANSWER THE PERSON WHO REPROACHES YOU.

PSALM 119.43  AND TAKE NOT THE WORD OF TRUTH UTTERLY OUT OF MY MOUTH, FOR I HAVE HOPED IN YOUR JUDGMENTS.

THE WRITER IS SAYING TO THE LORD, LORD GOD, NEVER REMOVE YOUR WORD OF TRUTH FROM THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK.  NEVER LET ME SPEAK THE FOOLISH WORDS THAT I SPOKE BEFORE I KNEW YOU THAT ARE UNACCEPTABLE IN YOUR EARS.  FOR I HAVE HOPED IN YOUR JUDGMENTS.

IF THE WRITER IS CONNECTING THIS VERSE WITH THE PREVIOUS VERSE WHERE HE OR SHE WRITES ABOUT SOMEONE CRITICIZING YOU OR DISCREDITING YOU FOR SOMETHING YOU DID OR SAID THAT DOESN’T DESERVE SUCH AN ATTACK, THEN CONTINUE TO ALWAYS SPEAK THE TRUTH AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S JUDGMENTS, HIS DECISIONS ON HOW HE WILL JUDGE THAT PERSON WHO IS ATTACKING YOU FOR NO GOOD REASON.

PSALM 119.44  SO SHALL I KEEP YOUR LAW CONTINUALLY FOREVER AND EVER.

NO MATTER WHAT, YOU WILL ALWAYS KEEP GOD’S TORAH, HIS LAW OF MOSES, AND EVERY WORD HE SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE  CONTINUALLY, FOR EVER AND EVER.

PSALM 119.45  AND I WILL WALK AT LIBERTY, FOR I SEEK YOUR PRECEPTS.

WHEN YOU FOLLOW GOD’S PRECEPTS, THAT IS HIS LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES AND THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, YOU WALK IN LIBERTY.  MEANING YOU LEAD YOUR LIFE FREE OF SIN AND FREE OF SPIRITUAL DEATH BECAUSE YOU OBEY TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES.  AND YOU ARE PLEASING GOD.  YOU ARE PERFECT WITH THE LORD YOUR GOD.

GENESIS 6.9, 1 KINGS 8.61

GENESIS 6.9  NOAH WAS A JUST MAN AND PERFECT.  THAT IS, NOAH LIVED BY EVERY WORD, LAW, AND COMMANDMENT THAT GOD SPOKE IN HIS DAY. AND GOD SAVED ONLY NOAH, HIS WIFE, HIS THREE SONS AND THEIR WIVES OUT OF MILLIONS OR BILLIONS OF PEOPLE FROM THE FLOOD.  NOAH WAS NOT JEWISH.

PSALM 119.46  I WILL SPEAK OF YOUR TESTIMONIES ALSO BEFORE KINGS, AND I WILL NOT BE ASHAMED.

GOD’S TESTIMONIES ARE EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.  AND EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE IS TRUTH.

HERE IS A TESTIMONY OF GOD THAT IS TRUTH AND GREAT POWER.  GOD SPOKE THE CREATION INTO EXISTENCE.

GENESIS 1.1, 3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26, PSALM 33.6-9

THEREFORE WHEN YOU SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD TO SOMEONE, YOU ARE SPEAKING GREAT POWER OF GOD.

GOD SAYS, SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOES FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH.  IT SHALL NOT RETURN TO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING WHERE I HAVE SENT IT.  ISAIAH 55.11

NOW, WHAT GOD DECIDES TO DO WITH THAT PERSON IS GOD’S DECISION.  BUT THEY HEARD THE POWERFUL WORD OF GOD.

THEREFORE NEVER BE ASHAMED OF SPEAKING THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD THAT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE TO ANYBODY, EVEN KINGS.

PSALM 119.47  AND I WILL DELIGHT MYSELF IN YOUR COMMANDMENTS WHICH I LOVE.

REMEMBER GOD’S COMMANDMENTS IN T’NACH, THE OLD TESTAMENT, AND HIS COMMANDMENTS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT ARE THE SAME.  THEY ARE ALL GOD’S LAWS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.

GOD ALMIGHTY WHO IS MESSIAH YESHUA SAYS, IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.  IF YOU LOVE MESSIAH YESHUA WHO IS THE FATHER AND GOD ALMIGHTY, THEN YOU SHOULD OBEY ALL GOD’S LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES AND THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE.

JUST BECAUSE MESSIAH WAS A BABY BORN FROM A VIRGIN, AND GREW TO THE AGE OF 33, THE SON OF GOD IS GOD ALMIGHTY THE FATHER.  THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD. 

REMEMBER, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE ALMIGHTY GOD.  BEING BORN OF A VIRGIN, AND SPEAKING THE CREATION INTO EXISTENCE IN SIX DAYS, AND RESTING ON THE SEVENTH DAY IS NOT A BIG DEAL TO GOD, BECAUSE GOD IS GOD, AND MESSIAH YESHUA IS THAT ONE GOD, GOD ALMIGHTY.

GENESIS 18.14, MATTHEW 19.26, HEBREW BIBLE ISAIAH 9.5, CHRISTIAN BIBLE ISAIAH 9.6, ISAIAH 43.10-11,  JOHN 17.1-3, JOHN 12.44-45, JOHN 14.9, 15

SO WE SHOULD BE LIKE THE WRITER OF PSALM 119 WHO DELIGHTS IN GOD’S COMMANDMENTS AND LOVE THEM.

PSALM 119.48  MY HANDS ALSO WILL I LIFT UP TO YOUR COMMANDMENTS WHICH I LOVE, AND I WILL MEDITATE IN YOUR STATUES.

WE LIFT UP OUR HANDS TO THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, THE MESSIAH YESHUA BECAUSE WE LOVE THE LORD, AND RESPECT HIM, AND THIRST AFTER HIM.  AND WE BLESS THE LORD AND LOVE BEING OBEDIENT TO THE LORD OUR GOD.  AND RAISING HANDS TO THE LORD IS A FORM OF PRAYER FOR US AND FOR OUR CHILDREN.

PSALM 28.2, PSALM 63.4, PSALM 68.31, PSALM 119.48, PSALM 134.2-3, PSALM 141.2, PSALM 143.6, LAMENTATIONS 2.19, 1 TIMOTHY 2.8

SO WE LIFT UP OUR HANDS TO THE LORD OUT OF LOVE AND RESPECT FOR HIS COMMANDMENTS.  AND WE MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT ON GOD’S STATUTES BECAUSE THEY ARE GOD’S STATUTES.

PSALM 119.49  REMEMBER THE WORD UNTO YOUR SERVANT UPON WHICH YOU HAVE CAUSED ME TO HOPE.

THE HEBREW FOR WORD IS DAH’VAHR THAT ALSO MEANS PROMISE.

WE HOPE IN ALL GOD’S PROMISES.  WE LIVE OUR LIFE IN HOPE OF RECEIVING EVERY WONDERFUL PROMISE THAT GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.  AND GOD WILL GRANT YOU THOSE PROMISES BECAUSE YOU KEEP HIS WORD, AND HIS COMMANDMENTS.  AND YOU HAVE FAITH IN MESSIAH YESHUA, GOD ALMIGHTY WHO HAS FORGIVEN YOU ALL YOUR SINS.

PSALM 119.50  THIS IS MY COMFORT IN MY AFFLICTION, FOR YOUR WORD HAS REVIVED ME AND RESTORED MY LIFE TO ME.

THERE ARE THOSE WHO TEACH AND BELIEVE THAT GOD’S LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL.  MEANING, THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS FOR GOD’S LOVE.  DO ANYTHING YOU WANT AND GOD WILL LOVE YOU.  THAT IS JUST NOT TRUE.

THE WORD UNCONDITIONAL IS NEVER WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.  BUT THE WORD IF IS WRITTEN HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN THE BIBLE.

GOD’S LOVE IS CONDITIONAL.

MESSIAH YESHUA WHO IS GOD ALMIGHTY, SAYS, IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.  AND MESSIAH IS GOD ALMIGHTY.

DEUTERONOMY 7.9

GOD ALSO SAID, I LOVED JACOB AND I HATED ESAU.

WHY DID GOD LOVE JACOB AND HATE ESAU?  BECAUSE JACOB’S LIFE WAS ALL ABOUT GOD.  HE LIVED HIS LIFE BY EVERY WORD GOD SPOKE.

WHILE ESAU NEVER OBEYED A WORD GOD SAID.  THEREFORE GOD LOVED JACOB AND HATED ESAU.

WE SHOULD ALL BE LIKE JACOB AND NOT ESAU.

JOHN 14.9, 15, MALACHI 1.2, 3

THEREFORE GOD WILL ALWAYS COMFORT YOU IN YOUR AFFLICTION BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU BECAUSE YOU LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.

PSALM 119.51  THE PROUD HAVE HAD ME GREATLY IN DERISION.  YET HAVE I NOT DECLINED FROM YOUR LAW.

THE PROUD IN HEBREW IS ZAY’DEEM MEANING ARROGANT, PRESUMPTUOUS, AND PROUD.

DERISION MEANS, BEING MOCKED.

THE PROUD WHO DISOBEY TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES, MOCK US BECAUSE WE LIVE BY TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES.

BUT, AS THE WRITER SAYS, WE WILL NOT DECLINE FROM YOUR LAW, THE LAW OF MOSES.  WE WILL NOT TURN AWAY FROM YOUR LAW.

PSALM 119.52  I REMEMBERED YOUR JUDGMENTS OF OLD, O LORD, AND HAVE COMFORTED MYSELF.

THE WORDS, OF OLD, COME FROM THE HEBREW MAY’OLAM MEANING, FROM ETERNITY, ALWAYS, ETERNAL, FOREVER, EVERLASTING, EVER MORE.

GOD’S JUDGMENTS ARE FOREVER AND EVERLASTING.

GOD’S JUDGMENTS ARE HIS DECISIONS THAT HE MAKES ACCORDING TO HIS LAWS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.  THEY ARE THE SAME, YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER.  ISAIAH 40.8

THEREFORE WE SHOULD ALWAYS COMFORT OURSELVES IN GOD’S JUDGMENTS, HIS LAWS AND HIS DECISIONS.

PSALM 119.53  HORROR HAS TAKEN HOLD UPON ME BECAUSE OF THE WICKED THAT FORSAKE YOUR LAW.

THE WORD HORROR IN HEBREW IS ZAHL’AH’FAH THAT MEANS, HORROR AND ANGER.

WICKED IN HEBREW IS RAH’SHAH THAT MEANS MORALLY WRONG, A BAD PERSON, CONDEMNED, GUILTY, WICKED, AND AN UNGODLY PERSON BECAUSE THEY DISOBEY GOD’S LAW OF MOSES.

SO THE WRITER OF PSALM 119 WRITES, ANGER AND HORROR HAVE TAKEN HOLD UPON ME BECAUSE THE WICKED FORSAKE YOUR LAW OF MOSES.

I PLACE THE BLAME ON BIBLE TEACHERS WHO HAVE CHEATED THE CHURCH FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS BY TEACHING THEM TO FORSAKE GOD’S LAW, HIS LAW OF MOSES BY TEACHING THAT JESUS ABOLISHED THE LAW OF MOSES.

THE DISHONEST TEACHING THAT JESUS ABOLISHED THE LAW OF MOSES IS TEACHING THE CHURCH THAT JESUS ABOLISHED THE WORD OF GOD.  THAT IS AN OUTRAGEOUS LIE.

IT WAS MESSIAH YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST, GOD ALMIGHTY WHO GAVE EVERY LAW AND EVERY WORD THAT IS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES TO MOSES FACE TO FACE FOR JEWISH PEOPLE, CHRISTIANS, AND ALL THE WORLD TO LIVE BY.

THE CHURCH ALSO TEACHES THE LIE THAT JESUS SUPPLANTED OR GOT RID OF THE OLD TESTAMENT WHICH IS FILLED WITH GOD’S SPOKEN WORD THAT ENDURES FOREVER. 

THEREFORE THE CHURCH TEACHES THAT JESUS ABOLISHED EVERY WORD THAT GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE.

THAT IS A MESSAGE OF HORROR.

EXODUS 33.11, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4, DEUTERONOMY 8.3, JOHN 12.44-45, JOHN 14.9, MALACHI 3.6, 1 PETER 1.23-25

EXODUS 33.11  THE LORD IS MESSIAH YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST.

I FOR ONE AM HORRIFIED AND ANGRY THAT THE CHURCH IS TAUGHT BY THE WICKED TO FORSAKE GOD’S LAW OF MOSES, AND TO FORSAKE GOD’S WORD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.

PSALM 119.54  YOUR STATUTES HAVE BEEN MY SONGS IN THE HOUSE OF MY PILGRIMAGE.

BETTER SAID, YOUR LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS HAVE BEEN MY SONGS IN THE HOUSE OF MY PILGRIMAGE WHERE I AM A TEMPORARY RESIDENT ON THIS EARTH, FOR MY PERMANENT HOME IS IN HEAVEN.

SO IT’S A JOY WHEN WE SING SONGS OF PRAISE TO THE LORD THAT INCLUDE GOD’S STATUTES AND LAWS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT OUR LIFE DOWN HERE IS TEMPORARY, BUT OUR LIFE WITH GOD ALMIGHTY THE MESSIAH YESHUA IN HEAVEN IS PERMANENT.

PSALM 119.55  I HAVE REMEMBERED YOUR NAME, O LORD IN THE NIGHT, AND HAVE KEPT YOUR TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES.

GOD HAS MANY WONDERFUL NAMES AND TITLES, BUT WE KNOW GOD WELL AS YESHUA HA MASHIAKH, YESHUA THE MESSIAH.

AND WE REMEMBER MESSIAH YESHUA AT NIGHT IN OUR PRAYERS AND MENTION HIS NAME WITH CONFIDENCE AND LOVE BECAUSE WE KEEP HIS TORAH, GOD’S LAW OF MOSES.

PSALM 119.56  THIS I HAD, BECAUSE I KEPT YOUR PRECEPTS.

WE HAVE ALL THE WONDERFUL PROMISES AND BLESSINGS OF GOD THAT INCLUDE HEALTH AND ETERNAL LIFE BECAUSE WE KEEP GOD’S PRECEPTS, HIS LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.

HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE THAT WE KEEP THE LAWS OF GOD AS GOD COMMANDS US.  AND FOR THAT, GOD BLESSES US ABOVE ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH.  DEUTERONOMY 28.1-2

TO THAT WE SAY, BARUKH HA SHEM, BLESS THE LORD.

Shalom,

We are continuing our teaching in Psalm 119 from Verses 25-40.

AND THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE IS, THE GODLY MAN AND WOMAN LIVE THEIR LIVES ACCORDING TO TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES, AND HAVE MESSIAH YESHUA FOR THEIR ATONEMENT. PART 2

PSALM 119.25 THE WORD LAW IS WRITTEN 25 TIMES IN PSALM 119. AND THE HEBREW FOR LAW IS TORAH MEANING THE LAW OF MOSES.

AND PSALM 119 TELLS THE WORLD HOW WONDERFUL TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES IS.

THE WORD COMMANDMENTS IS WRITTEN 21 TIMES IN PSALM 119. AND THE HEBREW FOR COMMANDMENTS IS MEETZ’VOTE MEANING ALL GOD’S LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.

AND PSALM 119 TELLS THE WORLD HOW WONDERFUL GOD’S COMMANDMENTS ARE.

THE WORDS FOR GOD’S “WORD” AND GOD’S “WORDS” ARE WRITTEN 44 TIMES IN PSALM 119. AND THE HEBREW FOR GOD’S “WORD” AND GOD’S “WORDS” ARE DAH’VAHR, D’VAH’REEM, AND EEM’RAH MEANING GOD’S WRITTEN WORD IN THE BIBLE IS LAW.

AND PSALM 119 TELLS THE WORLD HOW WONDERFUL GOD’S WRITTEN WORD IS.

THE WORD STATUTES IS WRITTEN 22 TIMES IN PSALM 119. AND THE HEBREW FOR STATUTES IS KHU’KEEM MEANING GOD’S LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES.

AND PSALM 119 TELLS THE WORLD HOW WONDERFUL GOD’S STATUTES ARE.

THE WORD JUDGMENTS IS WRITTEN 18 TIMES IN PSALM 119. AND THE HEBREW FOR JUDGMENTS IS MEESH’PAH’TEEM MEANING GOD’S LAWS, JUDGMENTS, DECISIONS, VERDICTS, AND SENTENCING THAT THE LORD GOD MAKES ACCORDING TO TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES.

AND PSALM 119 TELLS THE WORLD HOW WONDERFUL GOD’S JUDGMENTS ARE.

PSALM 119 IS A LOVE LETTER TO GOD ABOUT HIS TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES FOR ALL THE WORLD TO READ, STUDY, LEARN, AND LIVE BY.

PSALM 119.25. MY SOUL CLEAVES TO THE DUST. QUICKEN ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.

BETTER SAID, MY SOUL CLEAVES TO THE DUST, O LORD. REVIVE ME, AND RESTORE MY LIFE TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.

I SEE THE WRITER BEING SAD BECAUSE HE OR SHE LIVES BY THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD THAT INCLUDES HIS LAWS AND TEACHINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES. BUT MOST PEOPLE REJECT GOD BY REJECTING HIS LAW OF MOSES. AND THAT IS SAD FOR THE WRITER OF THE PSALM.

AND A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR THE PERSON WHO REJECTS THE LAW OF MOSES.

AND THE WRITER ASKS GOD, REVIVE ME OF MY SADNESS O LORD, AND RESTORE MY LIFE TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.

AND GOD PROMISES YOU THAT HE WILL RESTORE YOUR LIFE. HE WILL RESTORE THE LIFE OF THE CRUSHED AND THE HUMBLE SPIRIT. THOSE WHO OBEY GOD, WHO OBEY HIS WRITTEN WORD IN THE BIBLE, AND LIVE BY EVERY WORD OF HIS TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES. ISAIAH 57.15

PSALM 119.26 I HAVE DECLARED MY WAYS, AND YOU HAVE HEARD ME. TEACH ME YOUR STATUTES.

HERE IS A PERSON WHO HAS WRITTEN THIS PSALM FOR ALL THE WORLD TO KNOW HOW WONDERFUL THE LAW OF MOSES IS, AND THE BLESSINGS THAT GOD POURS UPON ALL WHO LIVE BY GOD’S STATUTES, GOD’S LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES. DEUTERONOMY 28.1-14

BUT SO MANY PEOPLE BASH THE LAW OF MOSES. DO THEY KNOW THAT GOD’S TORAH, HIS LAW OF MOSES TELLS THE WORLD THE CURSES FOR DISOBEYING IT? DEUTERONOMY 28.15-68

TEACH ME YOUR STATUTES, THE BIBLE WRITER PLEADS TO GOD.

PSALM 119.27 MAKE ME TO UNDERSTAND THE WAY OF YOUR PRECEPTS. SO SHALL I TALK OF YOUR WONDERFUL WORKS.

BETTER SAID, MAKE ME TO UNDERSTAND THE WAY OF YOUR LAWS AND I WILL MEDITATE ON YOUR WONDERFUL WORKS.

YOUR PRECEPTS IN HEBREW IS PEE’KU’DAY’KHA THAT MEANS, COLLECTIVELY THE LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES.

THE WRITER ASKS GOD, MAKE ME UNDERSTAND THE WAY OF YOUR LAWS AND I WILL MEDITATE ON YOUR WONDERFUL WORKS.

WAY IN HEBREW IS DEH’REKH MEANING, A COURSE OF LIFE.

MAKE ME UNDERSTAND, O LORD, ALL THE BLESSINGS YOU POUR UPON THOSE WHO OBEY YOUR LAWS, AND I WILL MEDITATE ON YOUR WONDERFUL WORKS.

PSALM 119.28 MY SOUL MELTS FOR HEAVINESS. STRENGTHEN ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.

ANOTHER WAY OF TRANSLATING THIS SCRIPTURE IS, MY SOUL WEEPS FOR SORROW. STRENGTHEN ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.

THE WRITER OF PSALM 119 STANDS FOR THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE TAUGHT TO REJECT TO THEIR HURT.

AND THE WRITER’S HEART WEEPS WITH SORROW BECAUSE SADLY, SO MANY PEOPLE FOLLOW THE LIES OF THE FALSE BIBLE TEACHERS WHO TEACH THAT THE LAW OF MOSES IS ABOLISHED. WHERE DOES GOD EVER SAY IN THE BIBLE THAT TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES IS ABOLISHED? NOT ANY WHERE.

THEREFORE THE WRITER PLEADS WITH GOD, PLEASE LORD, STRENGTHEN ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD BECAUSE SO FEW LOVE YOU. JOHN 14.9, 15

AND YES, THE LORD STRENGTHENS THE RIGHTEOUS, THOSE WHO LIVE BY HIS WORD THAT IS WRITTEN IN TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES, AND THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE.

DEUTERONOMY 7.9, ISAIAH 40.31, ISAIAH 41.10, EPHESIANS 3.16, 1 PETER 5.6-10, DEUTERONOMY 8.3, MATTHEW 4.4, LUKE 4.4

PSALM 119.29 REMOVE FROM ME THE WAY OF LYING, AND GRANT ME YOUR LAW GRACIOUSLY.

HELP ME TO NEVER LIE, THE WRITER ASKS THE LORD. AND FROM YOUR LAW, FAVOR ME, BE GRACIOUS TO ME.

THAT IS A WONDERFUL REQUEST FOR THE GODLY PERSON WHO LIVES BY TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES. HELP ME TO NEVER LIE, LORD GOD. AND FAVOR ME WITH YOUR BLESSINGS FOR LIVING MY LIFE ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD WRITTEN IN TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES.

PSALM 119.30 I HAVE CHOSEN THE WAY OF TRUTH. YOUR JUDGMENTS HAVE I LAID BEFORE ME.

TRUTH IS A RARE COMMODITY IN THIS WORLD. BUT WHEN YOU LIVE BY TORAH, THE LAW OF MOSES THAT TEACHES THE TRUTH, YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE WAY OF TRUTH.

GOD’S JUDGMENTS, HIS LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES AND THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE ARE BEFORE YOUR EYES IN THE BIBLE THAT YOU READ EVERY DAY. THEREFORE YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE WAY OF TRUTH, GOD’S TRUTH.

PSALM 119.31 I HAVE STUCK TO YOUR TESTIMONIES. O LORD, PUT ME NOT TO SHAME.

WHEN WE LIVE BY EVERY WORD GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE, AND BELIEVE IN MESSIAH YESHUA, THAT HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY, THE FATHER WHO GAVE HIS LIFE AS A HUMAN BEING FOR OUR ATONEMENT, AND TESTIFY THE TRUTH, WE ARE ATTACKED FROM EVERY CORNER. OUR FRIENDS, OUR RELATIVES, CO-WORKERS THE CHURCH, THE SYNAGOGUE, FROM JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE. EXCEPT FROM GOD WHO BLESSES US.

LORD GOD, DON’T LET US FEEL SHAME FOR STANDING FOR YOUR TESTIMONIES, YOUR WORD THAT IS TRUTH.

PSALM 119.32 I WILL RUN THE WAY OF YOUR COMMANDMENTS WHEN YOU SHALL ENLARGE MY HEART.

THE PSALMIST IS SAYING, I WILL RUN THE WAY OF YOUR COMMANDMENTS WHEN YOU SHALL BROADEN MY UNDERSTANDING, AND MAKE ME WISER.

THINK ON THIS FOR A MOMENT. IT IS GOD’S COMMANDMENTS, HIS LAWS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES THAT WHEN YOU LIVE BY THEM, GOD WILL BROADEN YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF HIS WORD, AND GIVE YOU GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF HIMSELF. AND MAKE YOU WISER.

PSALM 119.33 TEACH ME O LORD THE WAY OF YOUR STATUTES, AND I SHALL KEEP THEM TO THE END.

GOD’S STATUTES, HIS LAWS ARE LIKE GOOD FOOD. THEY NOURISH YOU WITH HEALTH, STRENGTH, AND LIFE, AND WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. AND THEY GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE WHEN YOU HAVE MESSIAH YESHUA FOR YOUR ATONEMENT.

TEACH ME O LORD THE WAY OF YOUR STATUTES AND I WILL KEEP THEM TO THE END.

PSALM 119.34-35 GIVE ME UNDERSTANDING AND I SHALL KEEP YOUR LAW. YES, I SHALL OBSERVE IT WITH MY WHOLE HEART.

MAKE ME TO GO IN THE PATH OF YOUR COMMANDMENTS FOR THAT IS MY DELIGHT.

I THINK ON THE WORDS OF MESSIAH YESHUA WHEN HE SAID, ASK, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU. SEEK, AND YOU SHALL FIND. KNOCK, AND IT SHALL BE OPENED TO YOU.

ASK GOD TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND HIS LAWS WHICH ARE NOT DIFFICULT. BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF GOD’S LAWS, YOU WILL HAVE EVEN GREATER DELIGHT LIVING BY THEM. MATTHEW 7.7-8, 1 JOHN 5.3

PSALM 119.36-37 INCLINE MY HEART TO YOUR TESTIMONIES, AND NOT TO COVETOUSNESS.

TURN AWAY MY EYES FROM BEHOLDING VANITY, AND RESTORE MY LIFE TO ME IN YOUR WAY.

THE WRITER IS SAYING, LORD, GUIDE MY HEART IN YOUR WORD, AND NOT TO DISHONEST GAIN. TURN AWAY MY EYES FROM SEEING LIES AND RUIN. AND RESTORE MY LIFE TO ME IN YOUR WAY.

ALL THIS WRITER DESIRES IS TO LIVE HIS OR HER LIFE BY THAT WHICH GOD SPEAKS IN THE BIBLE. AND NOT TO DISHONEST GAIN.

AND TURN AWAY MY EYES FROM SEEING VANITY.

THE WORD SEEING IN HEBREW IS RAH’AH THAT NOT ONLY MEANS SEEING, BUT ALSO MEANS, RECOGNIZING, EXPERIENCING, AND OBSERVING.

VANITY IN HEBREW IS SHAV MEANING LIES AND RUIN.

WHEN IT COMES TO TEACHING THE BIBLE, VANITY, LIES AND RUIN ARE THE TEACHING OF THE DAY BY MANY FALSE BIBLE TEACHERS WHO TEACH THE LIES THAT BRING RUIN TO THE DOERS OF THE LIES THAT THE LAW OF MOSES IS ABOLISHED, AND THERE IS A TRINITY OF THREE DIFFERENT gods.

LORD GOD, THE WRITER WRITES, TURN AWAY MY EYES FROM SEEING VANITY. DO NOT EVER LET ME TEACH THOSE LIES THAT BRING RUIN.

PSALM 119.38 ESTABLISH YOUR WORD TO YOUR SERVANT WHO IS DEVOTED TO YOUR FEAR.

LORD GOD, THE WRITER PRAYS, ESTABLISH YOUR WORD IN MY HEART THAT IT MAY NEVER LEAVE ME. BECAUSE I AM DEVOTED TO THE FEAR OF THE LORD THAT CAUSES ME TO LIVE IN OBEDIENCE TO YOUR WORD ALWAYS.

PSALM 119.39-40 TURN AWAY MY REPROACH WHICH I FEAR, FOR YOUR JUDGMENTS ARE GOOD.

BEHOLD, I HAVE LONGED AFTER YOUR PRECEPTS. REVIVE ME, AND RESTORE LIFE TO ME IN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

LORD GOD, REMOVE SHAME FROM ME WHICH I FEAR WHEN I SPEAK OF YOUR LAW OF MOSES, AND MESSIAH YESHUA. FOR YOUR JUDGMENTS AND LAWS ARE GOOD. AND MESSIAH YESHUA IS HA SHEM, GOD ALMIGHTY.

I HAVE FOR ALL THESE YEARS LONGED AFTER YOUR LAWS, THE PSALMIST WRITES. IN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, O LORD, RESTORE MY LIFE FROM SADNESS BECAUSE SO MANY TRANSGRESS YOUR LAWS, AND CHANGE YOUR ORDINANCES, AND BREAK YOUR EVERLASTING COVENANT. RESTORE MY LIFE TO JOY IN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS O LORD. ISAIAH 24.5-6

PSALM 119 TELLS THE WORLD HOW WONDERFUL THE LAW OF MOSES IS. AND MATTHEW 7.23 TELLS THE WORD HOW CRUCIAL IT IS TO LIVE BY THE LAW OF MOSES.
