Psalm Thirteen
{Note: RBT says this Psalm explains what happened to David between I Samuel
Chapters 29 and 30 - (Reversionism, Rebound, Back in Fellowship)}
{Verses 1-2: 1st Strophe - 1st 5 lines - David Reaps what David Sows}
1~~{Title} To the
Chief Musician
A Psalm of David.
'Until when'/'How
long'
{Av A-naaa (sp) - a lamentation in Hebrew poetry}
will You 'forget me'/'not remember me', O Jehovah/God?
Forever ?
{David was appointed the Body Guard of Achish forever . . .}
'Until when'/'How
long'
{Av A-naaa (sp) - a lamentation in Hebrew poetry}
will You be caused to hide your face from me?
{meaning 'caused to be in great displeasure with me'}
{Note: David has
been in Philistia under the protection of Achish, kind of Philistia. David has
been lying to Achish and killing Philistines while under the protection of
Achish. Now the Philistines are going up against King Saul. But the other
Philistine city-state rulers did not want David and his men to fight with the
Philistines against the Jews and David is sent back as the battle is about to
happen.}
2~~'Until
when'/'How long' {Av A-naaa (sp)}
shall I 'line up worries' {shiyth `etsah}
in my soul (?) . . .
{Constant worry and anxiety was part of his self-induced misery in
reversionism - he sowed lies and the murder of Arab women and
children - and he reaped worry}
having 'maximum
misery' {yagown}
in my 'right lobe'/heart . . .
day by day . . .
'Until when'/'How
long' {Av A-naaa (sp)}
will my enemy {Saul} be exalted over me {David}?
{Verses 3-4: Next
Strophe - 4 lines of Hebrew Poetry
David Repents and Back under God's Grace}
3~~'Have regard for me'/'Have respect for me'
{nabat - Hiphil imperative - commanding that God have respect for
him! is now back in God's plan and claiming a promise of God to
forgive him}
and 'listen to me'/'answer me' {`anah},
O Jehovah/God my 'Elohiym/Godhead.
Cause to enlighten
my eyes
{means 'cause me to understand doctrine'},
lest I sleep the sleep of death
{die the sin unto death in reversionism} . . .
4~~Lest my enemy
{Saul} keep on saying,
"I have overcome/'prevailed against' {yakol} him."
"Lest those
hostile to me
celebrate/'dance around in a circle'/'party at my expense' {giyl}
when I am tottering/unstable {mowt}."
{Verses 5-6: 3rd
Strophe: Grace Deliverance: David Reaps what God Sows}
5~~But in Your grace {checed}
I have trusted
{batach - non-meritorious repentance - also verb for faith rest}
{now on I want to reap what YOU sow Lord}.
My heart/'right
lobe'
will celebrate/'dance around in a circle' {giyl}
Your deliverance {yashuw`ah}.
6~~I will 'sing in
celebration' {shiyr}
unto Jehovah/God.
Because He has
compensated me
in grace {gamal - reaping what God sows, back in fellowship}.
