Hidden Treasures of the 119th Psalm.
So, I am headed out to our Masculine Journey radio boot camp for a few days and wouldn't be available to come in every morning and do the normal study in the 119th Psalm. So, I was praying about that, and God gave me the idea that, Robbie, why don't you share with your listeners how you pray the 119th Psalm? Moreover, how you pray all that I've given you, there's sort of a preamble to the 119th Psalm that I do every morning in prayer. And so, the reason I've been studying this as I have is is God has kind of challenged me to memorize the 119th Psalm. So, what I am fixing to pray with you as you listen to me pray are all, so I'm going to pray this all from my heart, what God has actually put on my heart to memorize this year, the 23rd Psalm, the 16th Psalm, the 13th Psalm as a preamble to the 119th Psalm. And so, we'll just get a little bit of the 119th Psalm with the preamble today, and we'll do some more of it tomorrow. And you may note some things as I pray this, that I'm praying it in the third person, like you do the Lord's Prayer. So, this is, even though the psalmist quite often says I or me or those kind of things, so I am using us and making it plural, because as I pray this, I actually pray it for everyone on my prayer list, and certainly want to pray it with you, all my listeners today. So, I'm going to be praying in the third person, and then the other thing is sometimes I'll exchange English words for Hebrew words, or I'll even exchange things in a verse that I like translated another way, and so it's kind of the Robbie version.
It won't be word for word, and I may even forget something or miss something, so you know, it's okay. It's how I pray, and the idea is just simply that from my standpoint, when you do it this way and you're doing it completely from your heart, you're not reading it in any way, shape, or form. It's just coming from your heart, and you're able to express it with God and with you guys today. And so, here's how this goes, and this is the prayer that I have every morning. Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your delight be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily Jesus, our daily bread, and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us, and lead us not into temptation somewhere we don't know you're with us or for us, but deliver us from rah, from evil, from not pleasing you, for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen. The 23rd Psalm. Lord, you are our shepherd.
We shall not want. You make us lay down in green pastures, and you lead us beside still waters. You restore our nafeshes, our souls. You guide us in paths of righteousness for your namesake. Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil because you're with us. Your rod and your staff, they comfort us.
You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies. You, annoying our heads with oil in our cups, runneth over surely goodness and mercy. Tav and hesed will follow us all the days of our lives, and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 16, a mitcom of David Amalek. Preserve us, O Lord, in whom we trust. Our souls have said to Yahweh Adonai, you are our God, and our goodness is nothing apart from you.
The saints, the excellent ones in all the earth, in them we are completely delighted. The sorrows of those who chase after other gods will be multiplied, but we will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, nor will we have the name of their gods on our lips. Lord, you are our inheritance, our portion and our royal chalice, our bread and our cup, and you hold our future.
Our lines have fallen in such amazingly pleasant, beautiful places, and you've given us a goodly heritage, both forwards and backwards. We will bless the Lord who gives us counsel. You instruct our reigns in the night seasons. We have placed the Lord always before us.
Because He's at our right hand, we will not slip. Therefore, our hearts are glad, and our glories rejoice, and our flesh rests in a secure hope. You will not allow us to remain in hell, nor your Holy One to see decay. You've made known to us the path of life.
In your presence is fullness of joy. At your right hand, our pleasures forevermore. Psalms 13, to the choir master of David Amalek. How long will you forget us, oh Lord? How long will you hide your faith from us? How long will we seek counsel in our own souls, having sorrows in our hearts daily? Consider, Lord, and listen.
Oops, forgot. How long will you let our enemy be exalted over us now? Lord, consider and listen. Lighten our eyes, Lord, lest we sleep the sleep of death. Lest our enemies say He has prevailed against us, and those who trouble us rejoice when we slip. But we, Lord, have trusted in your loving kindness, your hesed, and in our hearts we will see your Yeshua. We will rejoice in your salvation.
We will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with us. So, singing along, Psalm 119, Aleph Section. Blessed are the undefiled in the way who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep His testimonies and seek Him with their whole heart. They also do no iniquity and they walk in His ways. Oh, that our ways were directed to keep Thy statutes. Then we would not be ashamed when we had respect for all your mitzvah. We will praise Thee with upright hearts when we have learned Your righteous judgments. We will keep Your statutes. Oh, forsake us not utterly.
Okay, we will be back with the Bet section, and we'll probably do another couple, three sections, and then some on Friday. So, I thank you all for praying with me this morning. The Lord's Prayer, the 16th Psalm, the 13th Psalm, and the 119th Psalm. Oh yeah, and the 23rd Psalm was in there, too. So, you know, how fun is all that? I thank you so much for listening.
