33
Context: God alone can command order from chaos. This is evident in God’s authority to create yet that which is created attempts to overthrow the Creator’s plan. Reference to Noah’s day, the tower of Bavel, and Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] planning to attach newly anointed King David [Beloved]. Some seek God for His wisdom, others fail in their futile minds set against Creator God. (Gen 1:1-4, 3:20-24, 6:5-8, 11:1-9; 2 Sam 5:1-12, 5:17-21)
1 Rejoice in Adonai , you upright!
Tehilah ·Praise song· is fitting for the upright.
2 Yadah ·Extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai with the lyre.
Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song.
Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4 For Adonai ’s word is right.
All his work is done in faithfulness.
5 He 'ahav ·affectionately loves· righteousness and mishpat ·justice·.
The earth is full of the cheshed ·loving-kindness· of Adonai .
6 By Adonai ’s word, the heavens were made;
all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap.
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear Adonai .
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done.
He enjoined, and it stood firm.
10 Adonai brings the counsel of the nations to nothing.
He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 The counsel of Adonai stands fast forever,
the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Adonai ,
the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Adonai looks from heaven.
He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 he who fashions all of their hearts;
and he considers all of their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army.
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety,
neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18 Behold, Adonai ’s eye is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his loving kindness;
19 to deliver their soul from death,
to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul has waited for Adonai .
He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart rejoices in him,
because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, Adonai ,
since we have hoped in you.
