RR Psalm 35:9 Part 5

Shalom {{firstName}},

Psalm 35:9 Then my soul will rejoice in Adonai and delight in His salvation.

As you can see above, our verse today starts with “then.”  When is “then?”  The previous five verses tell us “then” is when our enemies are ashamed, disgraced and humiliated.  After that, or “then”, “V’Nafshi Tagil BaAdonai(YHVH)!”  It means, “My soul (it) will rejoice and be exceedingly glad in the Lord.”

The second part of the verse is made of only two Hebrew words… “Tasis BiYeshuato,” meaning, “(it - my soul) shall rejoice or be delighted in His salvation.”  As I look at this verse it is a couplet - a double entendre.  In other words, it says the same thing twice using different words but identical structure.  Without going into too much detail, the identical structures of the word couplets are for GiL and SoS both of which mean delighted, glad, happy, and joyous.  The other couplet is between Adonai(YHVH), the tetragrammaton of God’s name, and Yeshua (see the beginning of this paragraph).  Yes, here in Psalm 35 of the Hebrew Scriptures we have the message, “Yeshua is Lord.”

Philippians 2:9 For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue profess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord—to the glory of God the Father.

If this is so very clear in the most prayed book (Psalms) by all Jewish people, why is it that so many don’t believe?  First, let me say, in the first century many Jewish people did believe… Act 21:20  And when they heard, they began glorifying God. They said, (to Paul) “You see, brother, how many myriads there are among the Jewish people who have believed—and they are all zealous for the Torah.

Secondly, there is a change of faith coming.  It is prophesied in many places that Jewish people will return to the Lord and believe on Yeshua.  For example, Isaiah 51:11 Now the ransomed of Adonai will return, and come to Zion with singing. Everlasting joy will be upon their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Let’s stop right now and pray that the Lord will redeem all of Israel unto salvation for all eternity.  Isaiah 45:17 Israel has been saved by Adonai with an everlasting salvation. You will not be put to shame or disgraced, for ever and ever.  Shalom shalom.
