RR Psalm 54:6,7 Part 3
Shalom,
Rabbi’s note: Tomorrow is our final day of preparation for the trip to Israel which starts before “o-dark-thirty” on Wednesday. I’ll try to get an RR out, but I can’t make any promises.

Psalm 54:6 Surely God is my helper. My Lord is the supporter of my soul. 7 Let evil return to my foes. Silence them with Your truth!
God is not “one of many” (helpers, as mentioned in verse 6), but the one and only “supporter of my soul.” David is vocalizing His need for the One True and Living God, and when we read this Psalm, so are we. What follows in verse 7 are two specific requests. 1. Let evil return to my foes. 2. Silence them with Your truth!
In support of the first request… Psalm 27:2 When evildoers approached me to devour my flesh—my adversaries and my foes—they stumbled and fell.
Then, in support of the second request… we all remember the first part of the following verse, but the second part is also important. Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you will prosper and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Adonai’s servants—their vindication is from Me.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
Paul wrote to the Romans… Romans 8:31 What then shall we say in view of these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He didn’t invent that thought, He learned it. Psalm 118:7 Adonai is for me, as my helper. I will see the downfall of those who hate me.
The enemy wants to sow seeds of confusion into our lives. Not so with God, Who sows clarity (the straight way) and righteousness. Isaiah 26:7 The way of the righteous is straight. Upright One, You make smooth the path of the righteous. Shalom shalom.
