RR Psalm 32:7 Part 7
Shavuah Tov,
Rabbi Trail: As you can see from the “Daily Bread” reading plan below, today is the 17th of Tamuz on the Hebrew calendar (also labeled “Tzom Tamus” (the Fast of Tamuz). This is 21 days before “Tisha B’av,” the anniversary of the destruction of the Holy Temple. We fast on Tzom Tamuz to mark the day the outer walls of Jerusalem were breached. Three weeks later, on the 9th of Av, the Temple was destroyed.
Let us pray that Jewish eyes will be opened, not to the restoration of Solomon’s Temple, but to the restoration of David’s Temple. It was a Temple of praise and worship without sacrifices that must be restored before Yeshua’s return. Here are three supporting Scriptures.
Amos 9:11 “In that day I will raise up David’s fallen sukkah. I will restore its breaches, raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in days of old 12 —so they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations called by My Name.” It is a declaration of Adonai, the One who will do this.
Zechariah 8:23 Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot, “In those days it will come to pass that ten men from every language of the nations will grasp the corner of the garment of a Jew saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
Daniel 9:19 Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, listen and act! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay! For Your city and Your people are called by Your name. End RT.
Psalms
Psalm 32:7 – Part 7
Psalm 32:7 You are my hiding place—You will protect me from distress. You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
Yes, it is a song… enjoy the worship by worship team, “Selah”!!! https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=iukRJ9Wnr6A
We have a very cleaver play on words here. “Mitzar-Titz’rayni” meaning “from trouble (caused by my enemies) - You will preserve (protect and guard) me.” They look like they are from the same Shoresh, but they are not. “Mitzar” is from Tzarar (Tzadi-Resh-Resh) meaning “troubles” from a connotation as caused by my enemies. “Titz’rayni” is from Nitzar (Nun-Tzadi-Resh) meaning “hidden, keep watch over, or guard and protect.”
With all this etymology, let’s not miss the obvious… in times of trouble, we need to run to God. Only He is our safe place. Let’s see, re there any other Scriptures that support this thought? Why, yes, on just about every page of the Bible. Consider these supporting verses…
Proverbs 18:10 The Name of Adonai is a strong tower. The righteous one runs into it and is set safely up high.
2Timothy 4:18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and will deliver me safely into His heavenly Kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Psalm 46:2(1b) God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
2Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is trustworthy—and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
God’s protection is “360” protection, “You surround me.” Psalm 125:2 As the mountains are around Jerusalem, so Adonai is all around His people, both now and forever. 3 For a scepter of wickedness will not rest over the land of the righteous—lest the righteous set their hands to evil.
God is “Shomair Yisrael” meaning “the guardian of Israel.” Psalm 121:3 He will not let your foot slip. Your Keeper will not slumber. 4 Behold, the Keeper of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps…. 7 Adonai will protect you from all evil. He will guard your life. Shalom shalom.
