Leen Ritmeyer – Using The Psalms For Overcoming – Class 1 – Hidden Treasures in the Titles of the Psalms

1
00:00:00,960 –> 00:00:02,840
Thank you, Brother Russell.
And so I would invite Brother

2
00:00:02,840 –> 00:00:05,840
Lane please to come forward and
address us hidden treasures in

3
00:00:05,840 –> 00:00:15,160
the titles of the Psalms.
Thank you Brother Michael and

4
00:00:15,320 –> 00:00:17,840
dearly beloved brother and
sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ

5
00:00:17,840 –> 00:00:23,640
and young people.
The title of this study is Using

6
00:00:23,640 –> 00:00:29,480
the Psalms for Overcoming.
We should know all individually

7
00:00:29,480 –> 00:00:35,080
what we need to overcome.
We turn to Romans chapter 12.

8
00:00:38,520 –> 00:00:41,440
These words are very familiar to
us.

9
00:00:42,960 –> 00:00:46,560
That says, I beseech you,
therefore, brethren, by the

10
00:00:46,560 –> 00:00:49,120
mercies of God, that you present
your bodies, your living

11
00:00:49,120 –> 00:00:53,000
sacrifice, wholly acceptable
unto God, which is your

12
00:00:53,000 –> 00:00:58,800
reasonable or your intelligent
service, and may not conform to

13
00:00:58,800 –> 00:01:05,640
this will but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind, that

14
00:01:05,640 –> 00:01:08,640
you may prove what is that good
and acceptable and perfect will

15
00:01:08,640 –> 00:01:12,440
of God.
The possible exhort us to renew

16
00:01:12,440 –> 00:01:17,600
our mind or our spirit.
And he sums up this chapter with

17
00:01:17,600 –> 00:01:25,000
the last verse, Be not overcome
of evil, but overcome evil with

18
00:01:25,000 –> 00:01:29,160
good.
So how then can we renew our

19
00:01:29,160 –> 00:01:34,560
minds so that we may be able to
overcome evil with good?

20
00:01:35,560 –> 00:01:38,400
The apostle John has a very
similar message.

21
00:01:38,400 –> 00:01:41,600
I read this out to you one John
5 verse four and five.

22
00:01:42,200 –> 00:01:46,360
Whatsoever is born of God
overcometh the world.

23
00:01:47,080 –> 00:01:50,920
And this is the victory that
overcometh the world, even our

24
00:01:50,920 –> 00:01:53,400
faith.
Who is he that overcomes the

25
00:01:53,400 –> 00:01:55,040
world?
That he that believers that

26
00:01:55,080 –> 00:02:00,160
Jesus is the Son of God.
Jesus, of course, was the first

27
00:02:00,480 –> 00:02:05,760
to overcome the world in
Himself, as he says in John 16

28
00:02:05,760 –> 00:02:08,400
and 33.
The things have I spoken unto

29
00:02:08,400 –> 00:02:10,199
you, that in me you might have
peace.

30
00:02:10,639 –> 00:02:13,840
In the world you shall have
tribulation, but be of good

31
00:02:13,840 –> 00:02:18,840
cheer.
I have overcome the world and in

32
00:02:19,000 –> 00:02:25,120
overcoming the world in himself,
Jesus set an example for us to

33
00:02:25,120 –> 00:02:29,400
follow for we also need to
overcome the devil or the

34
00:02:29,520 –> 00:02:41,340
adversary.
If you turn to one Peter 5 South

35
00:02:41,340 –> 00:02:49,540
one Peter 5 and starting reading
a few verses at verse 8, it says

36
00:02:49,540 –> 00:02:54,680
be sober, be vigilant because
your adversary the devil as a

37
00:02:54,680 –> 00:02:59,120
roaring lion walk us about
seeking whom he may devour, whom

38
00:02:59,120 –> 00:03:01,920
resist steadfast in the faith,
knowing that the same

39
00:03:01,920 –> 00:03:05,040
afflictions are accomplished in
your brethren that are in the

40
00:03:05,040 –> 00:03:07,080
world.
But the God of all grace, who

41
00:03:07,080 –> 00:03:10,520
has called us unto his eternal
glory by Christ Jesus.

42
00:03:10,800 –> 00:03:13,760
After that ye have suffered a
while, make you perfect,

43
00:03:14,120 –> 00:03:16,840
establish, strengthen, and
settle you.

44
00:03:17,280 –> 00:03:20,600
To him be glory and dominion
forever and ever.

45
00:03:21,760 –> 00:03:28,560
The adversary or the devil is
described as a lion, and that

46
00:03:28,560 –> 00:03:31,960
reminds us of the story of
Samson.

47
00:03:33,280 –> 00:03:36,680
Through death Jesus destroyed
him.

48
00:03:36,840 –> 00:03:39,360
That has the power of death.
That is the devil.

49
00:03:40,080 –> 00:03:44,960
The question is how did Jesus
overcome the world in himself?

50
00:03:46,840 –> 00:03:51,680
We’re looking at Samson in
Judges 14 and verse 5 and 6.

51
00:03:52,560 –> 00:03:55,480
We read, and Samson went down,
and his father and his mother to

52
00:03:55,480 –> 00:03:58,400
Timnath, and they came to the
vineyards of Timnath.

53
00:03:58,400 –> 00:04:02,600
And behold, the young lion
roared against him, and the

54
00:04:02,600 –> 00:04:08,760
spirit of Yawa came mightily
upon him, and he rent him as he

55
00:04:08,760 –> 00:04:12,120
would have rent the kid.
He had nothing in his hand, but

56
00:04:12,120 –> 00:04:14,520
he told not his father or his
mother what he had done.

57
00:04:15,240 –> 00:04:19,120
The lion in this case is a type
of the adversary and devil.

58
00:04:20,440 –> 00:04:24,520
Samson did not overcome the line
by his own strength.

59
00:04:24,520 –> 00:04:29,320
He had nothing in his hand but
by the Spirit and the power of

60
00:04:29,320 –> 00:04:33,200
God’s Word.
We too need the power of the

61
00:04:33,200 –> 00:04:37,880
Spirit to overcome.
But as we don’t believe that we

62
00:04:37,880 –> 00:04:42,960
have the Holy Spirit as many
evangelicals claim, how then can

63
00:04:42,960 –> 00:04:45,440
we be helped by the Spirit of
God?

64
00:04:46,560 –> 00:04:50,200
Brother John Thomas told us
plainly that we can only have

65
00:04:50,200 –> 00:04:55,880
the Holy Spirit in as far as we
read the Word of God, absorb it,

66
00:04:56,360 –> 00:05:04,320
and act on it.
We are even told in the Epistle

67
00:05:04,320 –> 00:05:10,480
of Jude in verse 20 that you
must pray in the Holy Spirit.

68
00:05:11,680 –> 00:05:14,360
But ye beloved, building up
yourselves on your most holy

69
00:05:14,360 –> 00:05:21,520
faith, praying in the Holy
Spirit, So how can we then

70
00:05:22,120 –> 00:05:25,240
develop a Holy Spirit in
ourselves?

71
00:05:25,800 –> 00:05:29,760
It’s imperative that we do.
If you go to Romans chapter 8,

72
00:05:42,050 –> 00:05:46,530
we read out first nine.
But ye are not in the flesh, but

73
00:05:46,810 –> 00:05:51,160
in the Spirit.
If so be that the Spirit of God

74
00:05:51,160 –> 00:05:55,400
dwell in you.
Now if many any man have not the

75
00:05:55,400 –> 00:05:57,080
Spirit of Christ, he is none of
his.

76
00:05:57,400 –> 00:06:01,360
And if Christ be in you, the
body is dead because of sin, but

77
00:06:01,360 –> 00:06:03,640
the Spirit is life because of
righteousness.

78
00:06:03,640 –> 00:06:09,800
And that verse 11.
If the spirit of him that raised

79
00:06:09,800 –> 00:06:14,200
of Jesus from the dead dwell in
you, he that raised the Christ

80
00:06:14,200 –> 00:06:18,400
from the dead shall also quicken
your immortal bodies by his

81
00:06:18,400 –> 00:06:25,960
Spirit that dwelleth in you.
So how can a spirit dwell in US?

82
00:06:26,280 –> 00:06:30,720
How can we pray in the Holy
Spirit as we are commanded to

83
00:06:30,720 –> 00:06:34,760
do?
Speaking for myself, and I know

84
00:06:34,760 –> 00:06:39,600
I’m not alone, we often feel
inadequate in our prayers.

85
00:06:40,520 –> 00:06:46,520
We don’t always know what to
pray for as we ought, in other

86
00:06:46,520 –> 00:06:50,080
words, how to pray in an
acceptable way.

87
00:06:51,280 –> 00:06:55,480
Even the preacher and
Ecclesiastes sought to find

88
00:06:55,480 –> 00:07:01,000
acceptable words, written
upright words of truth.

89
00:07:02,240 –> 00:07:06,560
And in this study, we hope to
show the pivotal role which is

90
00:07:06,560 –> 00:07:10,760
Psalms played in the life of
Jesus and how they can help us

91
00:07:10,840 –> 00:07:14,040
develop the mind of Christ.
And we hope that you will go

92
00:07:14,040 –> 00:07:17,480
away from this study better
equipped to approach God in

93
00:07:17,480 –> 00:07:24,080
prayer, to overcome the old man,
to develop a sound mind, and to

94
00:07:24,080 –> 00:07:28,960
go on to perfection.
Scripture tell us that Jesus

95
00:07:28,960 –> 00:07:31,600
used the Psalms many, many
times.

96
00:07:31,920 –> 00:07:35,080
There’s several recorders, for
example, when he was hanging on

97
00:07:35,080 –> 00:07:40,040
the cross, he shouted out Psalm
22 my ail, my ail wise, thou

98
00:07:40,040 –> 00:07:48,160
forsaken me.
Psalm 316970 many more after

99
00:07:48,160 –> 00:07:51,680
Jesus was raised from the dead
and he was talking to to those

100
00:07:51,680 –> 00:07:56,080
to disciples on the way to
Emmaus, He explained to them,

101
00:07:56,160 –> 00:07:59,360
these are the words which I
spake unto you while I was yet

102
00:07:59,360 –> 00:08:02,080
with you, that all things must
be fulfilled, which you are

103
00:08:02,080 –> 00:08:07,360
written in the law of Moses.
They’ll be talking about it and

104
00:08:07,360 –> 00:08:13,000
in the prophets and in the
Psalms concerning me says Jesus,

105
00:08:13,280 –> 00:08:18,320
it’s about him.
They’re written for him in the

106
00:08:18,320 –> 00:08:22,120
Psalms.
We have a record of the mind of

107
00:08:22,120 –> 00:08:27,080
Christ as you just read in
Colossians chapter 3 and 16 that

108
00:08:27,080 –> 00:08:32,400
the word of Christ dwell in you
richly in all wisdom.

109
00:08:33,400 –> 00:08:37,080
How?
By teaching and admonishing one

110
00:08:37,080 –> 00:08:41,880
another in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing with

111
00:08:41,880 –> 00:08:43,679
grace in your hearts to the
Lord.

112
00:08:44,120 –> 00:08:49,800
Please turn to Ephesians where
we got the parallel passage in

113
00:08:49,800 –> 00:09:01,600
Ephesians chapter 5.
Read the verse 18.

114
00:09:02,640 –> 00:09:06,400
Be not drunk with wine.
It’s interesting actually that

115
00:09:06,400 –> 00:09:09,880
if call hard drinks spirits,
don’t they?

116
00:09:10,760 –> 00:09:14,200
So be not drunk with wine
wherein is excess, but be filled

117
00:09:14,720 –> 00:09:17,040
with the spirit.
How?

118
00:09:17,840 –> 00:09:22,360
Speaking yourselves in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs,

119
00:09:22,680 –> 00:09:26,120
singing and making melody that
is actually psalming.

120
00:09:27,040 –> 00:09:31,400
Making melody is sallow in the
in the Greek psalming in your

121
00:09:31,400 –> 00:09:34,920
heart to the Lord, giving thanks
always for all things, and to

122
00:09:34,920 –> 00:09:38,760
God and the Father in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

123
00:09:41,200 –> 00:09:45,160
The brother who instructed us in
in Israel on the kibbutz always

124
00:09:45,160 –> 00:09:49,160
used psalms in his prayers.
He said they were our

125
00:09:49,160 –> 00:09:54,040
instruments for overcoming, and
he got the idea from the Hebrew

126
00:09:54,200 –> 00:09:59,200
titles of the Psalms.
He apparently relied on the work

127
00:09:59,200 –> 00:10:02,960
of a certain George Fennick, who
I’ve got a copy here.

128
00:10:03,480 –> 00:10:09,760
In 1749 I wrote a little
treatise called Thoughts on the

129
00:10:09,760 –> 00:10:13,080
Hebrew titles of the Psalms and
on some of those in the

130
00:10:13,080 –> 00:10:17,200
Septuagint, endeavouring to
discover the meaning and point

131
00:10:17,200 –> 00:10:21,040
out the use of them.
What we’ve been studying for the

132
00:10:21,040 –> 00:10:24,720
last 20 years I found almost
encapsulated in this book, which

133
00:10:24,720 –> 00:10:29,640
only found two months ago.
And this man rightly pointed out

134
00:10:29,640 –> 00:10:36,920
that the titles are an integral
part of the Psalms and therefore

135
00:10:36,920 –> 00:10:40,440
they’re part of the inspired
Word of God.

136
00:10:41,960 –> 00:10:45,360
And the literal translation of
the Hebrew first verses was

137
00:10:45,720 –> 00:10:49,040
quite a revelation.
It gives an insight into the

138
00:10:49,040 –> 00:10:54,000
spiritual meaning of the Psalms.
So many scholars believe that

139
00:10:54,240 –> 00:11:00,120
those some titles contain merely
musical directives.

140
00:11:01,560 –> 00:11:05,280
And this book, which is the only
publication that I know of that

141
00:11:05,280 –> 00:11:09,400
endeavours to give a direct
translation of the titles of the

142
00:11:09,400 –> 00:11:14,240
sounds, he’s actually frequently
referred to in the Hebrew

143
00:11:14,240 –> 00:11:18,720
Lexicon written by Parkhurst.
That was a lexicon that was

144
00:11:18,720 –> 00:11:22,440
always used by John Thomas with
Phoenix.

145
00:11:22,440 –> 00:11:25,720
I believe that the Hebrew titles
have a spiritual meaning and

146
00:11:25,720 –> 00:11:29,080
therefore rightly belong.
They’re not titles.

147
00:11:29,320 –> 00:11:32,280
They’re the first verse of the
Psalm.

148
00:11:34,160 –> 00:11:37,360
And in the recent discoveries of
the Dead Sea Scrolls, many

149
00:11:37,360 –> 00:11:40,640
copies, as I told you in the
introduction of the Psalm

150
00:11:40,640 –> 00:11:45,240
scrolls, were found.
A new Psalm was always indicated

151
00:11:45,240 –> 00:11:48,920
by a new paragraph.
Here’s part of the Dead Sea

152
00:11:48,920 –> 00:11:57,120
Scrolls, and here is the end of
it’s cold in New Zealand,

153
00:11:57,120 –> 00:11:58,720
because this thing only works
when it’s warm.

154
00:12:03,280 –> 00:12:05,920
You see that the line break is
on the right.

155
00:12:06,480 –> 00:12:11,440
There’s the end of 1 Sam, and
the next Sam begins in the

156
00:12:11,440 –> 00:12:15,800
middle of the next line is the
beginning of a new Psalm, and

157
00:12:15,840 –> 00:12:19,320
what we call the title is the
beginning of a new Psalm.

158
00:12:19,320 –> 00:12:23,680
So there’s always a break in
between the Psalms in the this

159
00:12:23,680 –> 00:12:27,280
Hebrew Bible, which is more than
2000 years old.

160
00:12:29,920 –> 00:12:36,760
What is presented in the King
James Bible as a title is always

161
00:12:37,000 –> 00:12:41,600
the first verse of the Psalm in
many translations.

162
00:12:42,600 –> 00:12:45,680
I want to show you just a few.
Hope you can read it.

163
00:12:45,680 –> 00:12:49,880
This is the beginning of Psalm
22 in Dutch.

164
00:12:50,480 –> 00:12:51,760
I can read that because I am
Dutch.

165
00:12:51,760 –> 00:12:57,280
It says first one Psalm of David
for the oppen song Master of

166
00:12:57,360 –> 00:13:00,960
Ayer Tasha is Dutch.
What we call the title in the

167
00:13:00,960 –> 00:13:03,320
King James is first one in
Dutch.

168
00:13:04,600 –> 00:13:10,960
In French Psalm 22, first one is
or Chef de sante sue biste de la

169
00:13:10,960 –> 00:13:15,720
Roe Sam de Song de David, our
title is first one in the

170
00:13:15,960 –> 00:13:19,360
French.
In German, just the same, our

171
00:13:19,360 –> 00:13:24,040
title is first one in German and
Lee David, Dr. Milo D and

172
00:13:24,040 –> 00:13:28,120
Hirschku and Morgan.
And in the Hebrew by which you

173
00:13:28,120 –> 00:13:32,760
can buy, you get their first
one, Lemonade SE al Ayerta

174
00:13:32,760 –> 00:13:36,200
Shacha, Miss Morla, David, the
title is first one.

175
00:13:36,560 –> 00:13:38,840
You can, of course, in the
Spanish as well.

176
00:13:39,520 –> 00:13:44,800
Oh, musical principals, Sobra,
Ayeta, shaka samo de davi, first

177
00:13:44,840 –> 00:13:48,080
one of the Psalm.
When you use your computer, you

178
00:13:48,080 –> 00:13:52,680
get into trouble because you
must put first zero.

179
00:13:55,120 –> 00:13:58,840
Yes, and 1st.
But it’s actually first one is

180
00:13:58,840 –> 00:14:00,920
first two.
My God, my God, why is that

181
00:14:00,920 –> 00:14:08,000
forsaken me?
And here’s our King James to the

182
00:14:08,000 –> 00:14:11,600
chief musician on Ayat Shahra is
Sam of David.

183
00:14:12,200 –> 00:14:16,800
First one, my God, my God, by
his thou forsaken me out of sync

184
00:14:16,880 –> 00:14:20,160
with the evil Bible and most
other translations.

185
00:14:20,560 –> 00:14:24,680
And then you get, of course, the
good news translation, which

186
00:14:24,680 –> 00:14:28,360
leaves out the title altogether.
It’s the bad news translation

187
00:14:31,720 –> 00:14:37,080
because they leave out about 120
Holy Spirit inspired words from

188
00:14:37,080 –> 00:14:39,000
the Bible just because you don’t
understand them.

189
00:14:42,040 –> 00:14:52,000
If you go to Psalm 22, for
example, or many, many Psalms,

190
00:14:52,720 –> 00:14:56,080
it starts with to the chief
musician.

191
00:14:59,760 –> 00:15:05,120
We just look at several examples
written as a title which is

192
00:15:05,120 –> 00:15:09,480
wrong to the chief musician upon
Ayeletta Shahar, a Psalm of

193
00:15:09,480 –> 00:15:11,440
David.
This usually translate or

194
00:15:11,640 –> 00:15:15,440
understood as arch for the
conductor upon a certain tune

195
00:15:15,440 –> 00:15:19,080
like the Yellow Submarine or
Ayeletta Shahar, a Psalm of

196
00:15:19,080 –> 00:15:22,040
David.
But that is not what Hebrew

197
00:15:22,040 –> 00:15:24,680
means.
First of all, I’d like to

198
00:15:24,680 –> 00:15:29,320
concentrate on that title to the
chief musician.

199
00:15:30,400 –> 00:15:35,400
It’s le manat saya in Hebrew,
and then the chief musician

200
00:15:35,400 –> 00:15:39,760
would be manat saya.
It comes from a three letter

201
00:15:39,840 –> 00:15:45,880
word, which is this word here.
I’m very fortunate to have a

202
00:15:46,120 –> 00:15:51,120
Hebrew scholar in our midst, one
of my Hebrew students from

203
00:15:51,400 –> 00:15:53,840
Adelaide, and she can read it,
I’m quite sure.

204
00:15:54,200 –> 00:15:57,040
So you read Hebrew from right to
left.

205
00:15:57,840 –> 00:16:03,240
What’s this letter Alexander the
no and then the Saudi.

206
00:16:03,240 –> 00:16:07,760
And the last one is Chet.
So in Hebrew all the words,

207
00:16:08,160 –> 00:16:12,960
nouns or verbs are derived from
a three letter root.

208
00:16:13,160 –> 00:16:15,680
That’s the basic meaning of that
word.

209
00:16:16,480 –> 00:16:21,520
Nazar doesn’t mean chief
musician, it means to overcome.

210
00:16:24,240 –> 00:16:26,960
See, David wrote the Psalms
during a time when he was

211
00:16:26,960 –> 00:16:30,880
persecuted by his soul, and they
give an insight into the mind of

212
00:16:30,880 –> 00:16:34,400
David in his tribulations, but
also in the joy of the salvation

213
00:16:34,400 –> 00:16:38,160
that God had promised him.
And so reading through the Psalm

214
00:16:38,560 –> 00:16:41,680
we see the daily struggles here
to cope with and how we overcame

215
00:16:41,680 –> 00:16:44,720
them.
It says David the son of Jesse

216
00:16:44,720 –> 00:16:47,600
said the man that was raised
upon high, the anointed of the

217
00:16:47,600 –> 00:16:51,520
God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist
of Israel said, the spirit of

218
00:16:51,520 –> 00:16:55,560
Yahweh spake by me and his word
was in my tongue.

219
00:16:55,560 –> 00:16:59,480
And that includes the titles of
these psalms.

220
00:17:00,360 –> 00:17:03,720
See Bride and Sisters memory
through the Gospels.

221
00:17:04,400 –> 00:17:09,599
We have a record in the
narrative of all what Jesus did,

222
00:17:10,160 –> 00:17:17,119
where he went to, and what was
done to him, but it doesn’t tell

223
00:17:17,119 –> 00:17:24,240
us what went on inside.
We don’t get to know the mind of

224
00:17:24,240 –> 00:17:27,880
Christ by reading just the
gospel record.

225
00:17:28,319 –> 00:17:33,280
We only get to know the mind of
Christ when we read the Psalms.

226
00:17:36,120 –> 00:17:42,440
God actually if you’re student
Psalm 23, look what that says he

227
00:17:43,400 –> 00:17:50,640
dwells in the Psalms.
It says in verse 3 thou art holy

228
00:17:51,400 –> 00:17:58,400
that inhabitants or that dwells
in the Psalms of Israel.

229
00:17:58,920 –> 00:18:05,960
That’s where God dwells.
That is his mind and that is why

230
00:18:05,960 –> 00:18:10,120
those beginning of the Psalms
are so important.

231
00:18:11,040 –> 00:18:14,560
You see, to the chief musician
is le Manat Seya.

232
00:18:16,720 –> 00:18:22,960
But there is nobody called a
chief musician in the Bible.

233
00:18:23,880 –> 00:18:30,040
There was no chief musician.
There’s nobody who conducted

234
00:18:30,240 –> 00:18:33,200
like we do in our Western
orchestra.

235
00:18:34,640 –> 00:18:43,120
See the word Manat Seya is used
only as overseers.

236
00:18:43,200 –> 00:18:45,640
On the bottom of the screen you
can see when they’re building

237
00:18:45,640 –> 00:18:49,920
the temple there is some
overseers but that is not the

238
00:18:49,920 –> 00:18:54,560
meaning of the word.
Going back to that word netsak,

239
00:18:55,680 –> 00:19:01,480
if you go to Van Samuel 15.
Now although these passage are

240
00:19:01,480 –> 00:19:03,920
on the screen, I really want you
to look them up.

241
00:19:08,040 –> 00:19:12,560
It was 28 we read that Samuel
said unto Saul, Yahweh has rent

242
00:19:12,560 –> 00:19:15,160
the Kingdom of Israel from the
disdain has given it to a

243
00:19:15,160 –> 00:19:17,520
neighbour of thine.
That is better than thou.

244
00:19:18,080 –> 00:19:25,280
Also the strength of Israel will
not lie nor repent, for he is

245
00:19:25,280 –> 00:19:29,440
not a man that he should repent.
Who is he talking about the

246
00:19:29,440 –> 00:19:34,680
strength of Israel?
The Netzah of Israel is God

247
00:19:34,680 –> 00:19:37,520
himself.
Not talking about a cheap

248
00:19:37,520 –> 00:19:40,960
musician here.
And when you go to One

249
00:19:40,960 –> 00:19:46,480
Chronicles chapter 15, where you
get a list of all those people

250
00:19:46,480 –> 00:19:52,320
that were put in their jobs by
David and Samuel after he fled

251
00:19:52,680 –> 00:19:58,880
from Seoul in One Chronicles
chapter 15 and we have to have a

252
00:19:58,880 –> 00:20:09,480
list of musicians.
It speaks about all these people

253
00:20:09,480 –> 00:20:15,040
that David had gathered out of
all Israel to Jerusalem, and

254
00:20:15,280 –> 00:20:18,480
he’s the ordering the service of
the temple.

255
00:20:19,760 –> 00:20:22,200
It says it was 15.
The chance to Levites that bear

256
00:20:22,200 –> 00:20:25,440
the ark of God upon their
shoulders to stay as Moses

257
00:20:25,440 –> 00:20:27,440
commanded, according to the word
of Yahweh.

258
00:20:28,120 –> 00:20:31,680
And then David spake to the
chief of the Levites to appoint

259
00:20:31,680 –> 00:20:34,960
their brother to be singers with
instruments of music,

260
00:20:35,200 –> 00:20:40,840
psalteries, harps, cymbals,
sounding by lifting up the voice

261
00:20:40,880 –> 00:20:43,640
with joy.
So the Levites appointed all

262
00:20:43,640 –> 00:20:49,560
these people.
Now if you go to verse 21, it

263
00:20:49,560 –> 00:20:54,880
speaks about Matatya and Eli
Filet and Mignea and Owart

264
00:20:54,880 –> 00:21:01,480
Edomengel and Asasai with harps
on the Sherman need to excel.

265
00:21:02,000 –> 00:21:04,880
The word excel is the word is
the word for a chief musician.

266
00:21:05,160 –> 00:21:08,680
It’s netsa.
But you don’t play a harp on top

267
00:21:08,680 –> 00:21:11,520
of this chief musician, do you?
Don’t stand on the head of the

268
00:21:11,760 –> 00:21:14,040
of the conductor to start them
playing your fiddle.

269
00:21:14,280 –> 00:21:20,240
You don’t do things like that.
So they played with the harp on

270
00:21:20,360 –> 00:21:25,680
anointing for overcoming because
that is the real meaning of that

271
00:21:25,680 –> 00:21:29,120
word that is behind the phrase
to the chief musician.

272
00:21:29,920 –> 00:21:33,200
I go to Chronicles chapter 29
where I got this wonderful

273
00:21:33,200 –> 00:21:44,840
prayer where David praise God,
if there was 9, when the people

274
00:21:44,840 –> 00:21:48,400
rejoiced for they offered
willingly for the temple because

275
00:21:48,400 –> 00:21:51,080
it’s a perfect heart, they
offered willingly to Yahweh.

276
00:21:51,320 –> 00:21:53,600
And David the king also rejoices
great joy.

277
00:21:54,320 –> 00:21:57,360
And then David blessed Yahweh is
all the congregation.

278
00:21:57,360 –> 00:22:00,720
And David said, blessed be thou,
Yahweh, Alim of Israel, our

279
00:22:00,720 –> 00:22:05,240
Father, forever and ever thine
Yahweh is the greatness and the

280
00:22:05,240 –> 00:22:12,120
power and the glory and the
chief musician, the victory and

281
00:22:12,120 –> 00:22:16,800
the majesty, for all that is in
heaven and the earth is dying.

282
00:22:16,800 –> 00:22:21,360
Dying is the Kingdom Yahweh, and
thou art exalted as health above

283
00:22:21,440 –> 00:22:29,280
all is the basis for the prayer
of the Lord Jesus Christ.

284
00:22:30,680 –> 00:22:34,120
And that is what that word
actually means.

285
00:22:34,960 –> 00:22:40,560
You go to Isaiah chapter 25.
That’s beautiful, a chapter

286
00:22:40,560 –> 00:22:51,760
about the resurrection.
Now aren’t you looking forward

287
00:22:51,760 –> 00:22:54,320
to the time, bread and the
sisters that Jesus will come

288
00:22:54,320 –> 00:22:58,360
back and he will destroy in this
mountain, Mount Zion, in the

289
00:22:58,360 –> 00:23:01,960
face of the covering that is
cast over all the people, the

290
00:23:01,960 –> 00:23:04,680
veil that is spread over all
nations.

291
00:23:05,440 –> 00:23:12,760
He will swallow up death in the
chief musician in victory.

292
00:23:13,480 –> 00:23:18,400
That’s the meaning of that word.
Yara Elwin shall right away all

293
00:23:18,400 –> 00:23:25,040
tears from of all faces.
And that is the meaning of that

294
00:23:25,040 –> 00:23:30,400
word to the chief musician.
It actually does not say he was

295
00:23:30,400 –> 00:23:36,320
swallowed death in victory.
It says Le Netzer, he will

296
00:23:36,320 –> 00:23:41,960
overcome death to victory.
Christ not only was victorious

297
00:23:42,000 –> 00:23:45,480
over his own death, but he
destroyed him.

298
00:23:45,480 –> 00:23:49,440
That has the power of death,
which is the devil, so that we

299
00:23:49,440 –> 00:23:54,440
also can be saved.
That verse, of course, is quoted

300
00:23:54,720 –> 00:23:59,520
in One Corinthians chapter 15
and verse 54, and there the word

301
00:23:59,520 –> 00:24:03,520
victory is Nikos.
Well, we know those words, don’t

302
00:24:03,520 –> 00:24:06,400
we?
What are the best running shoes,

303
00:24:06,400 –> 00:24:09,280
guys?
Nike shoes, aren’t they?

304
00:24:10,200 –> 00:24:13,560
And what is the best camera?
Sorry brother Glenn, it’s a

305
00:24:13,560 –> 00:24:16,240
Nikon, isn’t it?
Because they are the best

306
00:24:16,240 –> 00:24:21,360
cameras, it means the victory.
So Christ was the first to gain

307
00:24:21,360 –> 00:24:25,880
the victory over death as
written in Psalm Hebrews 214,

308
00:24:26,120 –> 00:24:28,680
that through death He might
destroy Him.

309
00:24:28,680 –> 00:24:31,680
If that’s the power of death,
that is the devil.

310
00:24:32,280 –> 00:24:38,080
That word nutsack, that one
means to have the victory or to

311
00:24:38,160 –> 00:24:41,200
overcome.
In modern Hebrew, when you play

312
00:24:41,200 –> 00:24:44,080
a game of, you know, footy or
basketball, whatever you’re

313
00:24:44,080 –> 00:24:48,160
doing, you’ve won the game.
You said Nizaki, I’ve won, I’ve

314
00:24:48,160 –> 00:24:51,200
got a victory.
There’s the meaning behind that

315
00:24:51,200 –> 00:24:54,080
word.
So the phrase to the chief

316
00:24:54,080 –> 00:24:58,600
musician means to him that
overcomes.

317
00:25:01,360 –> 00:25:03,560
If you turn to Revelation
Chapter 3,

318
00:25:15,200 –> 00:25:20,680
read that what Jesus promises to
the believers in Laodicean verse

319
00:25:20,680 –> 00:25:27,160
21 to him that overcometh will I
grant to sit with me in my

320
00:25:27,160 –> 00:25:31,400
throne, even as I also overcame
and am sat down with my father

321
00:25:31,400 –> 00:25:36,480
in his throne.
Now the New Testament has been

322
00:25:36,480 –> 00:25:43,960
translated into Hebrew and as
amazed to find that this phrase

323
00:25:43,960 –> 00:25:50,360
to him that overcomers, they
used Le Manassehak to the chief

324
00:25:50,360 –> 00:25:55,920
musician, the very same phrase
as you have in many titles of

325
00:25:55,920 –> 00:26:00,520
the Psalms.
So it means to him that

326
00:26:00,560 –> 00:26:09,000
overcomers and actually it is
such an enormous reward to

327
00:26:09,000 –> 00:26:14,600
receive to him that overcome us.
Let’s go through the five, the

328
00:26:14,600 –> 00:26:20,240
seven ecclesias to Ephesus.
He says to him that overcome us,

329
00:26:20,680 –> 00:26:23,640
the chief musician.
Now to him that overcomes all.

330
00:26:23,640 –> 00:26:27,240
I get to eat of the tree of
life, which is the midst of the

331
00:26:27,240 –> 00:26:31,720
paradise of God.
Smyrna, be faithful unto death,

332
00:26:31,720 –> 00:26:33,240
and I’ll give you a crown of
life.

333
00:26:33,720 –> 00:26:36,960
He that overcometh shall not be
heard of.

334
00:26:36,960 –> 00:26:42,400
The second death begamos to him
that overcometh will I give to

335
00:26:42,400 –> 00:26:45,560
eat of the hidden manner, Or
give him a whitestone, and in

336
00:26:45,560 –> 00:26:48,600
the stone a name written which
no man knoweth saving he that

337
00:26:48,600 –> 00:26:53,960
receiveth it Thyatira.
He that overcometh and keepeth

338
00:26:53,960 –> 00:26:57,400
my works unto the end, I’ll give
him power over the nations.

339
00:26:57,600 –> 00:26:59,880
He shall rule the missile of the
vine as the vessels of the

340
00:26:59,880 –> 00:27:01,840
Potter shall they be broken to
shivers.

341
00:27:01,920 –> 00:27:06,080
Even as I received of my father.
I’ll give him the morning star.

342
00:27:06,880 –> 00:27:11,000
Sardis, He that overcometh the
saying shall be closed in white

343
00:27:11,000 –> 00:27:13,360
raiment.
Thou not blot out his name out

344
00:27:13,360 –> 00:27:16,400
of the Book of Life.
Thou confess His name before my

345
00:27:16,400 –> 00:27:22,720
Father, and before his angels.
Philadelphia Him that overcometh

346
00:27:22,760 –> 00:27:25,120
will I make a pillar in the
temple of my God.

347
00:27:25,400 –> 00:27:28,320
He shall go out no more.
Thou write upon in the name of

348
00:27:28,320 –> 00:27:32,000
my God, the name of the city of
my God, which is New Jerusalem,

349
00:27:32,000 –> 00:27:36,520
which comes down from heaven
from my God and my new name.

350
00:27:37,920 –> 00:27:42,640
And then this one we looked at
before to him that overcometh,

351
00:27:43,120 –> 00:27:46,120
that I grant to sit with me in
my throne, even as I also

352
00:27:46,120 –> 00:27:51,160
overcame and am sat down with my
Father in his throne.

353
00:27:53,920 –> 00:27:59,040
It even continues in the Book of
Revelation, because that phrase

354
00:27:59,120 –> 00:28:02,840
own Nikon, the one that has the
victory, the one that overcomes

355
00:28:03,120 –> 00:28:10,440
is also used in the Revelation
chapter 5, where John wept much

356
00:28:10,440 –> 00:28:13,600
in verse 4, because no one was
found worthy to open and to read

357
00:28:13,600 –> 00:28:15,920
the book.
Now to look thereon, and one of

358
00:28:15,920 –> 00:28:19,560
the elder says unto me, Weep
not, Behold the lion of the

359
00:28:19,560 –> 00:28:24,000
tribe of Judah.
The root of David has prevailed,

360
00:28:24,600 –> 00:28:28,800
He has overcome, and therefore
he is worthy to open the book

361
00:28:29,000 –> 00:28:30,880
and to lose the seven seals
thereof.

362
00:28:33,000 –> 00:28:37,080
And that is followed by a great
victory.

363
00:28:37,600 –> 00:28:42,720
Look what it says in chapter 6.
I saw when the lamb opened one

364
00:28:42,720 –> 00:28:46,080
of the seals, and I heard as it
were the noise of Thunder, one

365
00:28:46,080 –> 00:28:48,320
of the four living ones saying,
Come and see.

366
00:28:48,760 –> 00:28:51,800
And I saw him be out a White
Horse, and he had sat on him,

367
00:28:51,800 –> 00:28:54,880
had a bow, and the crown was
given unto him, and he went

368
00:28:54,880 –> 00:28:59,600
forth conquering, and to
conquer.

369
00:29:00,880 –> 00:29:04,080
That’s what Jesus says to him
that overcometh like grant, to

370
00:29:04,080 –> 00:29:07,440
sit with me in my throne, so
that in the Kingdom we can

371
00:29:07,440 –> 00:29:11,760
overcome all the enemies.
But you first of all have to

372
00:29:11,760 –> 00:29:26,760
overcome the world in ourselves.
If you go to Psalm #4, it has

373
00:29:26,760 –> 00:29:36,400
the very same title, the same
beginning as Psalm 22, and this

374
00:29:36,400 –> 00:29:40,360
particular title to the chief
musician on Naginov.

375
00:29:41,160 –> 00:29:47,080
The Psalm of David occurs in
Psalms 4 and 650-455-6776.

376
00:29:48,080 –> 00:29:51,040
But now it says to the chief
musician or to him that

377
00:29:51,080 –> 00:29:54,960
overcomes upon Naginov.
What’s that mean?

378
00:29:56,960 –> 00:30:04,320
Naginov means stringed
instruments, and he was derived

379
00:30:04,320 –> 00:30:09,440
from the nagan, which means to
play on an instrument of

380
00:30:09,440 –> 00:30:20,440
strength, especially the harp.
Remember then an evil spirit of

381
00:30:20,440 –> 00:30:24,280
God came on soul.
We wait.

382
00:30:24,280 –> 00:30:27,240
You can read on the screen in
one Samuel 16 and 23.

383
00:30:27,240 –> 00:30:30,440
It says it came to pass.
There’s an evil spirit from

384
00:30:30,440 –> 00:30:35,320
Ellen was upon Saul that David
took a harp and he played,

385
00:30:35,320 –> 00:30:38,280
that’s that word Nagan.
He played on the harp with his

386
00:30:38,280 –> 00:30:41,320
hand.
So Saul was refreshed and was

387
00:30:41,320 –> 00:30:44,840
well, and the evil spirit
departed from him.

388
00:30:46,080 –> 00:30:50,040
So it’s probably refreshed more
by the Spirit words which David

389
00:30:50,520 –> 00:30:54,240
composed on the harp rather than
the music itself, although that

390
00:30:54,240 –> 00:30:55,560
must have been pretty good as
well.

391
00:30:56,720 –> 00:31:01,000
We can be sure that Jesus also
used these instruments to

392
00:31:01,000 –> 00:31:06,280
refresh His Spirit too.
And as He made these words which

393
00:31:06,280 –> 00:31:12,560
David wrote down for us, he was
reading them, He was praying

394
00:31:12,560 –> 00:31:16,960
them, He was meditating on them,
and so they became the word of

395
00:31:16,960 –> 00:31:22,200
Christ as we read in Colossians
chapter 3, The psalms and the

396
00:31:22,200 –> 00:31:25,280
hymns and the spiritual songs
which are in the middle of our

397
00:31:25,280 –> 00:31:30,040
Bible, those are the psalms,
hymns, and the spiritual songs.

398
00:31:30,400 –> 00:31:37,160
This is our true hymn book.
That’s the only Holy Spirit

399
00:31:37,320 –> 00:31:40,360
inspired hymn book we have in
the Bible.

400
00:31:42,880 –> 00:31:46,400
In Luke 6 and verse 12, you
remember it says that Jesus

401
00:31:46,560 –> 00:31:50,360
continued all night in prayer to
God.

402
00:31:53,520 –> 00:31:58,240
What’s the point actually of
saying that if you don’t know

403
00:31:59,040 –> 00:32:02,040
how He prayed and what He prayed
for?

404
00:32:02,640 –> 00:32:06,200
How can we imitate the Son of
God if he are left in the dark?

405
00:32:06,560 –> 00:32:11,800
In the matter of prayer, the
Greek text is a lot clearer.

406
00:32:12,240 –> 00:32:16,720
It doesn’t say he continued all
night in prayer to God.

407
00:32:16,720 –> 00:32:21,600
It says he continued all night
in the prayer of God.

408
00:32:23,640 –> 00:32:27,480
He didn’t spend the night
composing his own prayers, but

409
00:32:27,480 –> 00:32:31,080
he made full use of those that
were provided by gods for him

410
00:32:31,440 –> 00:32:33,800
through the Spirit word of the
Psalms.

411
00:32:34,440 –> 00:32:39,560
And perhaps therefore, David had
to suffer so much so that his

412
00:32:39,560 –> 00:32:43,960
words could be used by Jesus at
the right time.

413
00:32:45,000 –> 00:32:51,200
David must have wondered
sometimes what or what manner of

414
00:32:51,200 –> 00:32:55,520
time the Spirit of Christ which
was in them did signify which

415
00:32:55,880 –> 00:32:59,240
when it testified before the
sufferings of Christ and the

416
00:32:59,240 –> 00:33:03,840
glory that should follow.
And that’s you find in the

417
00:33:03,840 –> 00:33:06,080
Psalms.
Let’s go to Psalm 18.

418
00:33:08,800 –> 00:33:11,960
And how does this start, this
Psalm start?

419
00:33:11,960 –> 00:33:18,240
What is first one to the chief
musician?

420
00:33:18,240 –> 00:33:22,640
Now we know it means to him that
overcomes the Psalm of David.

421
00:33:23,200 –> 00:33:26,080
And as we go through our
studies, there are many of these

422
00:33:26,080 –> 00:33:29,000
phrases which are referred to in
that, in that little handout

423
00:33:29,000 –> 00:33:32,320
which you’ve been given, It’s
just a direct translation of

424
00:33:32,320 –> 00:33:36,760
those phrases.
On this CD which you’ll get,

425
00:33:37,640 –> 00:33:43,200
there will be a file in which
you, I have translated all the

426
00:33:43,200 –> 00:33:46,280
titles of the Psalms so you can
read them.

427
00:33:46,680 –> 00:33:51,400
Now this says then to him that
overcomers for David, the

428
00:33:51,400 –> 00:33:55,040
servant of Yahweh, who’s spoken
to Yahweh the words of this song

429
00:33:55,160 –> 00:33:57,600
in the day that Yahweh delivered
him from the hand of all his

430
00:33:57,600 –> 00:33:59,800
enemies and from the hand of
soul.

431
00:34:01,120 –> 00:34:07,560
But David was indeed delivered
from the hand of soul, but this

432
00:34:07,560 –> 00:34:13,560
says he’s delivered from the
hand of all his enemies and from

433
00:34:13,560 –> 00:34:17,080
the end of Seoul.
Source put at the end of that

434
00:34:17,080 –> 00:34:19,520
verse.
But he actually was the first

435
00:34:19,600 –> 00:34:23,040
enemy of David.
It doesn’t make sense, does it?

436
00:34:26,560 –> 00:34:31,120
God first delivered him from the
end of Seoul and then from all

437
00:34:31,120 –> 00:34:35,440
the enemies.
And that is how we look at this

438
00:34:35,440 –> 00:34:42,320
Psalm as David used it, that
word Saul.

439
00:34:42,400 –> 00:34:51,600
The name Saul occurs in verse 5.
It says the sorrows of Saul, of

440
00:34:51,600 –> 00:34:57,440
Sheol, of the grave, compass me
about the snares of death,

441
00:34:57,440 –> 00:34:59,800
prevented me.
Now Jesus said when he was

442
00:34:59,800 –> 00:35:04,640
hanging on the cross.
So the name Saul is identical to

443
00:35:04,640 –> 00:35:07,760
Sheol.
So this Psalm is a Psalm for

444
00:35:07,760 –> 00:35:09,280
David.
Then God delivered him out the

445
00:35:09,280 –> 00:35:12,720
hand of soul, but a sound for
Jesus.

446
00:35:12,960 –> 00:35:17,080
Then God delivered him out of
the hands of the grave, because

447
00:35:17,080 –> 00:35:24,440
God raised him up from the dead.
It was Jesus who was delivered

448
00:35:24,440 –> 00:35:31,440
from the last enemy, not soul,
but from Sheol the grave.

449
00:35:32,640 –> 00:35:37,400
And that would fit in this one.
Corinthians 15 it says the last

450
00:35:37,440 –> 00:35:41,560
enemy that shall be destroyed is
death, and it is Shiong.

451
00:35:42,800 –> 00:35:45,400
So I read this title, but I read
it.

452
00:35:45,400 –> 00:35:49,240
It says that David said the
words of this song in the day

453
00:35:49,240 –> 00:35:51,920
that Yao delivered him from the
hand of all his enemies and from

454
00:35:51,920 –> 00:35:55,400
the hands of the grave.
And that is how it applies to

455
00:35:55,400 –> 00:35:58,760
Jesus.
And this sums specifically must

456
00:35:58,760 –> 00:36:03,440
have been such a great source of
strength for Jesus when the saw

457
00:36:03,440 –> 00:36:07,320
the source of the grave compass
me about the snares of death

458
00:36:07,600 –> 00:36:12,680
prevented me.
And what did you do about it

459
00:36:13,920 –> 00:36:18,040
when you felt so terrible
hanging on that cross?

460
00:36:18,920 –> 00:36:24,960
But the words were prepared for
Him, because verse 6 is actually

461
00:36:25,280 –> 00:36:29,160
written in the future tense in
the Hebrew.

462
00:36:29,880 –> 00:36:35,360
It says, In my distress I will
call upon Yahweh, and I will cry

463
00:36:35,360 –> 00:36:38,880
unto my Elohim.
He will hear my voice out of His

464
00:36:38,880 –> 00:36:44,720
temple, and my cry will come
before Him even unto his ears.

465
00:36:47,080 –> 00:36:52,120
And his words were prepared by
David for Jesus to be used when

466
00:36:52,120 –> 00:36:57,040
He hung on the cross.
And the answer was made evident.

467
00:36:57,240 –> 00:37:01,320
It came immediately because in
Luke 23 we read that it was

468
00:37:01,320 –> 00:37:05,440
about the 6th hour and there was
darkness over all the earth

469
00:37:05,560 –> 00:37:12,080
until the 9th hour.
And Jesus knew beforehand that

470
00:37:12,080 –> 00:37:16,040
that would happen because it
what it says in the Psalms.

471
00:37:16,440 –> 00:37:20,560
He knew that God would come down
to witness the death of His Son

472
00:37:21,040 –> 00:37:25,040
and to shield Him from prying
eyes by the darkness that came

473
00:37:25,040 –> 00:37:30,560
over all the earth.
There’s no other scripture, but

474
00:37:30,560 –> 00:37:38,200
Psalm 18 will get an insight
into how God would have felt

475
00:37:38,720 –> 00:37:41,720
when He saw His Son dying on the
cross.

476
00:37:54,540 –> 00:38:00,380
It says in verse 7 is the answer
with God gave Jesus when he

477
00:38:00,380 –> 00:38:04,060
cried out to him.
Then the earth shook and

478
00:38:04,060 –> 00:38:08,880
trembled, the foundations all
softer hills moved and was

479
00:38:08,880 –> 00:38:14,160
shaken because he was rough.
The event up was smoke out of

480
00:38:14,160 –> 00:38:17,320
his nostrils and fire out of his
mouth.

481
00:38:17,320 –> 00:38:20,120
Devoured coals were kindled by
it.

482
00:38:20,880 –> 00:38:24,960
He bowed the heavens also, and
came down, and darkness was on

483
00:38:24,960 –> 00:38:28,320
his feet.
He rode upon a carapente to fly,

484
00:38:29,680 –> 00:38:33,920
made it fly upon the wings of
the winds, made darkness His

485
00:38:33,920 –> 00:38:38,400
secret place, His pavilion.
Round about him were dark waters

486
00:38:38,840 –> 00:38:42,680
and thick clouds of the skies.
At the brightness that was

487
00:38:42,680 –> 00:38:48,240
before him the thick clouds
passed hail and coals of fire.

488
00:38:48,840 –> 00:38:53,040
Yahweh thundered in the heavens,
and the Highest gave his voice

489
00:38:53,520 –> 00:38:58,440
hail and coals of fire.
He sent out his arrows and

490
00:38:58,440 –> 00:39:01,400
scattered them.
He shot out lightnings and

491
00:39:01,400 –> 00:39:04,560
discomforted him.
Then the channels of the waters

492
00:39:04,560 –> 00:39:06,880
were seen.
The foundations of the earth

493
00:39:06,880 –> 00:39:11,080
were discovered at thy rebuke
hour, at the blast of the breath

494
00:39:11,560 –> 00:39:18,800
of thy nostrils.
That’s how God as a father felt

495
00:39:19,640 –> 00:39:23,080
when he saw his Son dying on the
cross.

496
00:39:25,080 –> 00:39:28,000
And He just knew all this
beforehand.

497
00:39:28,760 –> 00:39:33,360
He knew that His Father would
come and save him, because the

498
00:39:33,360 –> 00:39:38,480
Son continues.
And that is now Jesus replying

499
00:39:39,080 –> 00:39:42,000
to His Father.
He sends from above.

500
00:39:42,520 –> 00:39:45,640
He took me, He drew me out of
many waters.

501
00:39:45,920 –> 00:39:49,440
He delivered me from my strong
enemy and from them which hated

502
00:39:49,440 –> 00:39:52,040
me, for they were too strong for
me.

503
00:39:52,480 –> 00:39:54,800
They prevented me in the day of
my calamity.

504
00:39:55,040 –> 00:39:59,840
But yeah, was my stay.
He brought me forth also into a

505
00:39:59,840 –> 00:40:03,480
large place.
He delivered me because he

506
00:40:03,480 –> 00:40:07,560
delighted in me.
Yawa rewarded me according to my

507
00:40:07,560 –> 00:40:10,600
righteousness, according to the
cleanness of my hands as he

508
00:40:10,600 –> 00:40:13,960
recompends me.
For I’ve kept the ways of Yawa,

509
00:40:14,200 –> 00:40:16,880
and I’ve not wickedly departed
from my Alabin.

510
00:40:17,360 –> 00:40:21,240
For all His judgements were
before me, I did not put away

511
00:40:21,240 –> 00:40:24,280
His statues from me.
I was also upright before Him,

512
00:40:24,440 –> 00:40:26,480
and I kept myself from my
iniquity.

513
00:40:26,480 –> 00:40:30,240
Therefore, as Yahweh recompense
me according to my

514
00:40:30,240 –> 00:40:34,040
righteousness, according to the
cleanness of my hands in His

515
00:40:34,080 –> 00:40:38,800
eyesight.
And so this sound made it

516
00:40:38,920 –> 00:40:43,920
possible for Christ to grow
through this terrible, terrible

517
00:40:43,920 –> 00:40:48,480
suffering, dying on that cross.
But his Father was right there

518
00:40:48,720 –> 00:40:52,880
with him, visible in the
darkness that came over all the

519
00:40:52,920 –> 00:40:56,520
earth, and the earthquake that
ran the veil of the temple from

520
00:40:56,600 –> 00:41:02,080
top to bottom.
The psalmist quoted in Second

521
00:41:02,080 –> 00:41:08,680
Samuel chapter 22.
And there we have David

522
00:41:08,680 –> 00:41:21,640
composing a prayer using several
parts of Psalms.

523
00:41:27,120 –> 00:41:30,240
It says David spaken to Yao the
words of this song in the day

524
00:41:30,240 –> 00:41:32,960
that Yao has delivered him out
of the hand of all his enemies

525
00:41:32,960 –> 00:41:37,440
and out of the hand of soul.
What is missing here to achieve

526
00:41:37,440 –> 00:41:42,960
musician to him that overcomes?
And why is it left out here?

527
00:41:43,440 –> 00:41:47,680
There’s a very good reason for
this by their sisters, because

528
00:41:47,680 –> 00:41:53,600
the next chapter says, now these
are the last words of David.

529
00:41:55,240 –> 00:41:59,920
David, the son of Jesse, said
the man who was raised on high,

530
00:41:59,920 –> 00:42:02,840
the anointed of the element of
Jacob, the sweet psalmist of

531
00:42:02,840 –> 00:42:06,920
Israel said, the spirit of
Yahweh spake in me, and his

532
00:42:06,920 –> 00:42:12,440
words was in my tongue.
Then he spoke the last words at

533
00:42:12,440 –> 00:42:16,360
the end of his life.
He must have had the same state

534
00:42:16,360 –> 00:42:20,440
of mind as the apostle who said
at the end of his life in

535
00:42:20,440 –> 00:42:23,160
Timothy.
For now I’m ready to be offered.

536
00:42:23,480 –> 00:42:25,480
The time of my departure is at
hand.

537
00:42:25,880 –> 00:42:29,360
I’ve fought a good fight.
I’ve finished my course.

538
00:42:29,360 –> 00:42:32,280
I’ve kept the faith.
Henceforth has laid for me a

539
00:42:32,280 –> 00:42:35,520
crown of righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous Judge,

540
00:42:35,520 –> 00:42:38,760
shall give me at that day, and
not to me only, but unto all

541
00:42:38,760 –> 00:42:45,800
them that love.
His appearing time is going a

542
00:42:45,800 –> 00:42:49,240
bit faster than I would like it
to go.

543
00:42:53,280 –> 00:43:15,760
I want to come back to Psalm 22.
It says to the two musician, to

544
00:43:15,760 –> 00:43:20,520
him that overcomers upon Ayelet
Hashah.

545
00:43:21,680 –> 00:43:28,240
The Psalm of David is a prayer
which Jesus prayed on the cross,

546
00:43:28,240 –> 00:43:32,720
as you know very well, although
he changed one word.

547
00:43:33,600 –> 00:43:37,280
But more about that later on in
our evening programme.

548
00:43:38,800 –> 00:43:45,600
What does Ayelet Hashah mean?
Shahor.

549
00:43:46,280 –> 00:43:52,960
What is Shahor?
It’s black, it’s darkness and

550
00:43:52,960 –> 00:44:05,280
Ayelet comes from AO, which is
power and therefore the title if

551
00:44:05,280 –> 00:44:14,240
you translate it means to him
that overcomes over the power of

552
00:44:14,240 –> 00:44:22,200
darkness.
A Sam of David and Jesus refer

553
00:44:22,200 –> 00:44:35,360
to that if you go to Luke
chapter 22 in Luke chapter 22,

554
00:44:35,960 –> 00:44:48,280
when Jesus was arrested, 52
Jesus said unto the chief

555
00:44:48,280 –> 00:44:50,440
priests and the captains of the
temple and the elders which

556
00:44:50,440 –> 00:44:53,840
would come, come to him be you
come out as against a thief with

557
00:44:53,840 –> 00:44:57,960
swords and stays.
Then I was daily with you in the

558
00:44:57,960 –> 00:45:00,240
temple.
Ye straight forth, no hands

559
00:45:00,240 –> 00:45:06,920
against me, but this is your
hour and the power of darkness.

560
00:45:07,160 –> 00:45:14,840
I yell at Hashaha.
So Jesus was now in the power of

561
00:45:14,840 –> 00:45:22,320
darkness, and he set his Psalm
to overcome that power of

562
00:45:22,400 –> 00:45:28,160
darkness.
And he did by using this Psalm

563
00:45:28,800 –> 00:45:33,480
because it was not the only
verse which he cried out.

564
00:45:33,480 –> 00:45:37,120
We read in the Gospel Eli, Eli,
Lama Sabachthani, but

565
00:45:37,440 –> 00:45:43,440
undoubtedly he would have said
the whole Psalm to God, to his

566
00:45:43,440 –> 00:45:46,360
father who was able to save him
from death.

567
00:45:48,920 –> 00:45:55,000
But Jesus has also delivered us
from the same power of darkness.

568
00:45:55,240 –> 00:46:05,840
You go to Colossians, and of
course that was that epistle we

569
00:46:05,840 –> 00:46:08,080
started with our first reading
with.

570
00:46:09,880 –> 00:46:18,960
It says there in verse 13 or
verse 12 for connection, giving

571
00:46:18,960 –> 00:46:23,200
thanks unto the Father which has
made us meet to be partakers of

572
00:46:23,200 –> 00:46:27,360
the inheritance of the Saints in
light, who has delivered us from

573
00:46:27,360 –> 00:46:33,680
the power of darkness from Ayala
Tashahar, and has translated us

574
00:46:33,680 –> 00:46:37,120
into the Kingdom of His dear
Son, in whom we have the

575
00:46:37,120 –> 00:46:42,080
redemption through His blood.
Even the forgiveness of sins was

576
00:46:42,080 –> 00:46:47,080
the image of the invisible God,
the first born of all creation.

577
00:46:48,560 –> 00:46:52,160
And then the apostle Paul tells
us how we should change our

578
00:46:52,160 –> 00:46:57,120
lives because we are delivered
from the power of darkness.

579
00:46:57,120 –> 00:47:05,200
In verse 14.
Many be the right referend, but

580
00:47:05,200 –> 00:47:09,880
that he might walk worthy of the
Lord, and to all pleasing, being

581
00:47:09,880 –> 00:47:14,080
fruitful in every good work, and
increasing in the knowledge of

582
00:47:14,080 –> 00:47:18,320
God, strengthened His all might
according to His glorious power,

583
00:47:18,600 –> 00:47:21,800
and to our patience and
long-suffering with joyfulness.

584
00:47:22,040 –> 00:47:25,360
Giving things unto the Father,
which has made us meet to be

585
00:47:25,360 –> 00:47:28,880
partakers of the inheritance of
Saints in light, who has

586
00:47:28,880 –> 00:47:32,520
delivered us from the power of
darkness, and translated us into

587
00:47:32,520 –> 00:47:35,320
the Kingdom of His dear Son.
And we have to redempt you

588
00:47:35,320 –> 00:47:38,280
through His blood, even the
forgiveness of His sin.

589
00:47:38,680 –> 00:47:46,600
Does actually the first 10 And
so Brian says we are in such a

590
00:47:46,600 –> 00:47:52,480
privileged position that Christ
has overcome using the sounds,

591
00:47:53,040 –> 00:47:58,360
the power of darkness.
And Jesus and David overcame

592
00:47:58,360 –> 00:48:01,840
those powers of darkness by
using the sounds.

593
00:48:02,120 –> 00:48:05,560
And the more we become familiar
with the Psalms, I believe the

594
00:48:05,560 –> 00:48:08,840
more they can help us also
overcome.

595
00:48:09,600 –> 00:48:12,560
And once these beautiful
expressions we have in the

596
00:48:12,560 –> 00:48:17,520
Psalms become ours, then we can
use them in our prayers also.
