Nuggets from the Psalms

Psalm 34:18, Broken heart. This could be understood to be a circumcised heart rather than a heart broken by grief.

Psalm 35:13, Humbled…fasting. The Hebrew word for humbled means “to afflict the soul.” This verse connects the concept of afflicting the soul with fasting.

Psalm 36:1, An oracle within my heart. The Spirit of YHVH will speak to a person from within their personal spirit and give them divine revelation. (See also Ps 13:2–3.)

Psalm 36:8–8, River…fountain of life…in Your light. When we are in Elohim’s river of life, it is a fountain of life to us and we are bathed in YHHV’s light and we will see light (cp. Pss. 18:28; 44:3).

  1. I couldn’t wait to share what I saw when reading Ps 37 yesterday,verses 1-9- I see 6 things we are to do-I will list them:
    vs 1) FRET NOT
    vs 3) TRUST IN YHVH
    vs 4) DELIGHT THYSELF IN YHVH
    vs 5) COMMIT THY WAY UNTO YHVH
    vs 7) REST IN YHVH
    vs 9) WAIT UPON YHVH.
    I got excited because I think its just LOVELY 🙂
