Psalm 57:3,4 Part 2
Shalom,
Psalm 57:3 I will cry out to El Elyon, to God who accomplishes it for me. 4 He will send from heaven and save me. He rebukes the one trampling on me. Selah God is sending His mercy and His truth.
In verse 3, the TLV ends with the phrase, “… to God who(sic) accomplishes it for me.” The Hebrew words are, “L’El Gomair Ay’lai,” translates as “…to God Who ‘Gomair’s me.” There are two better options (better than “accomplishes”) to translate “Gomair.” One could say, “God ‘completes’ me, or “God ‘perfects’ me,” either one works better than “accomplishes.”
Now consider what this marvelous God, who hears me when I call out to Him, does. Yes, this One True and Living God, Who completes and perfects His work both in and through me, “sends from heaven.” The Hebrew never says what God “sends,” just that He sends, from heaven, and it doesn’t matter. God is so powerful, He can send something, anything, or nothing, and by His supreme power He alone is victorious over every enemy. “Selah,” meaning, “that was profound, so take a moment and consider what was just said.”
And there it is, in the last phrase of verse 4. What is God sending? Now we know, His mercy (Chesed) and His truth (Emet).
Psalm 85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Let’s close today with this. It is from Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy is a repetition of three books of the Torah, Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. Chapter 32 of Deuteronomy is Moses’ summary of the summary. It is His last words charge to the Hebrew people.
Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Who is the “Rock,” Whose work is perfect? Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. And yes, His work is perfect. John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Again, we have to close with, “Ayn Od.” Shalom shalom.
