The Aramaic Targum states that David thanks the Lord through his relying upon the Lord from the day he was born when the Lord brought him out of the bowels of his mother, that his psalms are always about God\u2019s word. The Scriptures provide us with a future hope, we see and read how the Lord has saved His people in the past, and hope and pray for the Lord to help us in our present need and at a future time. The rabbis translate the Aramaic Targum to say David\u2019s mouth will praise the Lord because of His splendor, as opposed to the MT that states many have marveled over David because of the Lord (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">71:7<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). The Lord\u2019s deliverance causes one to marvel, and the result is the mouth is filled with praises for the Lord (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">71:8<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). David looks to the past, how the Lord has helped him and delivered him to seek God\u2019s help for the future from his enemies that are working against him (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">71:9-12<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> David suggests that his hold age may have a part in the Lord forsaking him. Why do you think that is? He says <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201c71:9 Do not cast me away at the time of old age; when my vigor ceases, do not forsake me.\u201d (EMC)?<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> What is the point that David is making about his age? Could it be that one\u2019s sins add up over a lifetime? Could it be that one\u2019s sins cause the heart to become callused such that one might sin and not have the conviction of the Holy Spirit? The Apostle Paul said in <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">2 Timothy 4:7-8, 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 4:8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. (NKJV)<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> When a person makes sin their way of life, there is no hope in the appearing of the righteous judge. We should be striving to make righteousness a way of life and not sin. Paul speaks of the one who looks forward to the appearing of the Lord Yeshua. These concepts are all very similar to what Paul wrote to Titus in <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Titus 2:11-14<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> saying, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">2:11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 2:12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, 2:13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 2:14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds. (NASB)<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The mercy (grace) of God is what brings the Lord\u2019s salvation and righteousness. According to Paul, the salvation of God instructs us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live our lives in righteousness and truth. This is as opposed to what the Septuagint states, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">71:10 For mine enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together, 71:11 saying, God has forsaken him: persecute ye and take him; for there is none to deliver him. (LXX)<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The unrighteous are not the sons of God and therefore they have none to protect them from destruction (none to deliver them). The righteous are those who both choose to believe in the Lord God Almighty and His Messiah Yeshua, and choose to obey the Lord according to His word, and the Lord credits them with His righteousness. This is again similar to what Peter wrote in his epistle in <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">1 Peter 2:9-16.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-4\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1 CharOverride-14\">1 Peter 2:9-16<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-4\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God\u2019s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 2:10 for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 2:11 Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. 2:12 Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation. 2:13 Submit yourselves for the Lord\u2019s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 2:14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. 2:15 For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. 2:16 Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God.

The rabbis say the Lord taught David by miracles and so he will tell of His marvels. Some of the marvels the rabbis might be referencing may be taken from the midrashic literature. In the midrashic literature we are told that David\u2019s life as a shepherd had prepared him for his position as king. He treated the sheep entrusted to his care lovingly and tenderly, wherefore God said, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cHe understands how to pasture sheep; therefore he shall become the shepherd of My flock Israel\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Midrash Tehillim 78 and <\/span><a id=\"_idIndexMarker001\"><\/a><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Midrash Rabbah Shemot 2, Part 2<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">).

Taking it for a high mountain, he tried to climb it; but the animal awakened suddenly, and David found himself lifted high up into the air on its horns. David now vowed to God to build a temple 100 ells high\u2014as high as the horns of the reem\u2014if He would save him from the beast, and God thereupon sent a lion, which, as \u201cking of the animals\u201d (compare Talmud Bavli Chagigah 13b), exacted respect even from this gigantic beast, which fell down before the lion, enabling David safely to alight. Then a deer came, which the lion immediately pursued, so that David escaped both from the reem and the lion\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Midrash Tehillim 22, Part 22<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">According to the rabbis, David was greatly respected of the Lord God in heaven. David\u2019s shepherding life ended in his twenty-eighth year, when Samuel anointed him king.

What does it mean that His righteousness reaches to the heavens? This could be a reference back to the Torah account of creation, by the Word of the Lord He spoke all things into existence. For this reason he gives God the praises. In <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Tehillim \/ Psalms 9:1-10, <\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">David gives praise to the Lord. In order to praise God in an acceptable manner, we must praise him with our whole heart. When we give thanks for a particular mercy, we should remember former mercies just as David is doing here in his Psalm. Our joy however should not be on the gift as much as upon the Giver, the Lord in heaven. The praises we give and attribute to the Lord is according to His mercies and triumphs that He has brought in the life of His people. The might and power of God is what keeps the enemy at bay, and causes our enemies not to be able to stand before us. The judgment of God is according to truth, righteousness, and justice, as opposed to the way of the unrighteous, injustice, and the wicked man. The way of the Lord is sure, straight, and a solid foundation, this is why we are able to run to Him as our refuge and depend upon Him, for His power to save, to deliver, and to redeem as David says in <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Tehillim \/ Psalms 71<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">. By reason of these things, those who know Him also believe in His truth and faithfulness, and we rejoice in his word and in His promises and find rest in knowing that He is in control. And as a result, we can trust in Him even to the end, in the midst of both blessing and trouble. For those who have tasted of the goodness of God, who is there that would not seek Him, the One who has never forsaken those that seek Him?

In You, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me not be put to shame in the world (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:1). This Psalm comes close to the matter of the preceding Psalm, in which David said, Master of the universe, if such is the promise, then, in You, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me not be put to shame in the world. But were not the children of Israel put to shame in this world, even though Scripture has them saying, In You, O Lord, do I put my trust, let me not be put to shame in the world? David meant, however, Let it be enough that we are put to shame in this world; let us not be put to shame in the world to come. As Isaiah said, O Israel, that are saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; you will not be ashamed no confounded in the world without end (Isaiah 45:17).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">David said in <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Tehillim \/ Psalm 25:3 No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame.<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> In <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Tehillim \/ Psalm 35:4<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> he says, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cMay those who seek my life be disgraced,\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> and in <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Tehillim \/ Psalms 6:10 \u201cAll my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The idea of shame is paralleled to sin in one\u2019s life. Is there hope in the Lord if we are living in sin? According to the Apostle <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">John,<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> he said in<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\"> 1 John 3:6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning&#8230; (NASB)<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> David seeks the Lord to help him not to be ashamed in this world. He is essentially asking the Lord to help him not to sin. The midrash states however, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cBut were not the children of Israel put to shame in this world, even though Scripture has them saying, In You, O Lord, do I put my trust, let me not be put to shame in the world?\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> How was Israel put to shame in this world? <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Jeremiah 17:13<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> states, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cO LORD, the hope of Israel, All who forsake You will be put to shame. Those who turn away on earth will be written down, Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even the LORD.\u201d (NASB)<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> In the Scriptures, we are told the righteous have their names written down. (see <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Shemot \/ Exodus 32:32-33, and Malachi 3:16<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) However, here we are told by Jeremiah that the unrighteous, their names will also be written down, recorded somewhere for the reason of their turning away from the Lord on this earth. The idea is that there will be a book of remembrance written before the Lord for both the righteous and the unrighteous. The Book represents the Lord God\u2019s forever seeing, wakeful, careful watch, and His unfailing knowledge of who we are at the deepest level, even the hidden place in our lives that may be filled with sin. The question is whether these things are also noted in His book of remembrance? In various places throughout Scripture, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Tehillim \/ Psalm 56:8<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">, or <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Revelation 20<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">, we are told that the dead will be judged. There must be some written record of our deeds if that is what will take place. According to the prophet Daniel, he saw books were opened (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Daniel 7:10 \u201cA river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened.\u201d NASB<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). This idea of a book recording all the events of one\u2019s life is similar to what we read throughout the Tanach of the events of the kings of Israel being recorded in some form of national record wherein were noted the kings important events, achievements, accomplishments, etc. This is similar to what is found in the cuneiform inscriptions (see<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\"> 1 Kings 11:41, Ezra 4:15, 6:1, Esther 6:1, and Revelation 20:12<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) found at Ugarit. This book of remembrance is believed to be set before the eyes of the Lord, to remind him of the pious ones according to the rabbis (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Talmud Bavli Berakhot 6<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). Judaism refers to the book of remembrance as the Book of Life (<\/span><span class=\"Hebrew-verse-text\" lang=\"he-IL\">\u05e1\u05e4\u05e8 \u05d4\u05d7\u05d9\u05d9\u05dd<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) which is the book in which God records the names of every person who is destined for Heaven or the World to Come. According to the Talmud the books are opened on Rosh Hashanah, and the book for the wicked is called the <\/span><a id=\"_idIndexMarker002\"><\/a><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">Book of the Dead. Judaism also speaks of the book of the intermediate, where the concept of good deeds causes the scales of justice to tilt towards one side as opposed to the other. In addition, extra mention is made for the Book of Life during the Amidah recitations during the Days of Awe, the ten days between Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, and Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> In addition to this, an interesting theme we find in the Scriptures is that the Torah is <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cthe testimony of God.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> Specifically, we are told the ten commandments are <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cthe tablets of the testimony,\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> and the ark of the covenant is also called <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cthe ark of the testimony\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Shemot \/ Exodus 25:16-22<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). The testimony was given so we would be able to remember the work, power, deliverance, salvation, and redemption of God\u2019s people from Egypt with the hope and expectation that He will do the same for each of us too. With this in mind,The covenant that the Lord made with us in the Messiah Yeshua, We are told that He has written his Torah upon our hearts (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Jeremiah 31:31-37<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). Using this reasoning, he writes His testimony upon our hearts. We are told in the Apostolic Writings, that He makes us a new creation for the purpose of saving us and setting us free from sin. This is how His presence is tangible in our lives for the Glory of God (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Revelation 12:11<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) and the salvation from this present evil world (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Galatians 1:4<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). He said <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201c&#8230; in this present evil world,\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> which means that our salvation is effectual in this life and not just in the world to come. Some have relegated all the benefits and the power of God to save us, to the world to come only. The power of God is however more tangible than that in our lives and His power is available to us today, to heal us, to protect us, and to deliver us from sin, etc., all of which is given as a testimony so we can go into this world and proclaim the glory and power of our Father in heaven. This may be what David is thinking of in the Psalm, and the rabbis saying that <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cIn You, O Lord, do I put my trust, let me not be put to shame in the world?\u201d <\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">Midrash Tehillim 71, Part 1 concludes saying, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cDavid meant, however, Let it be enough that we are put to shame in this world; let us not be put to shame in the world to come. As Isaiah said, O Israel, that are saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; you will not be ashamed not confounded in the world without end (Isaiah 45:17).\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The idea is that the Lord will not allow us to be put to shame in this world by reason that He will give us a testimony of His glory, and power, and work in our lives. Scripture provides endless examples of how the presence of God delivered Israel from their enemies. Moshe was convinced that without God\u2019s presence in his life, or with Israel, they would not survive with success entering the Promised Land (see <\/span><a id=\"_idIndexMarker003\"><\/a><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">Parashat Ki Tisa). Each of us have been given a powerful testimony of what God\u2019s presence has done for us in guiding our lives.

And at once He saves me, as is said, When I was brought low, He saved me (Tehillim \/ Psalms 116:6). So, too, Hezekiah said, Incline Your ear, O Lord, and heed (Isaiah 37:17). And because You inclined Your ear, You did heed and save. For You did say to Hezekiah, That which you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have listened (Isaiah 19:20). Why?

These things are good and profitable for men. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">The mercy of God is a gift, Paul says that we are not saved by our good works so that no one can boast. We are however created for the purpose of doing good works. The good works that Paul is referring to are those which our Father in heaven has prepared before hand, to live according to the commandments in His Torah. To Titus he says that formerly we were foolish living in sin (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). The Lord saved us in spite of our sins, and we are called to turn from our sins and living righteously and in holiness before the Lord. Many times we hear that what the messianic movement espouses is a form of legalism and that Judaism for sure is legalistic in nature teaching that one must earn their salvation. We also hear that in the OT Israel had to earn their salvation whereas today salvation is the free gift of God in the Messiah Yeshua. The question is <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cWhat does it mean that good works are the result of salvation?\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> According to Paul in <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Ephesians 2:8-10<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> and <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Titus 3:3-8<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">, he says that we are not saved by good works. The point of Paul\u2019s statements is that our works are done in the flesh and are not sufficient to satisfy the requirement for atonement. Note that good works (<\/span><a id=\"_idIndexMarker004\"><\/a><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">maasim tovim) are pleasing to the Lord even though they fall short of His glory (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Romans 3:20 and Isaiah 64:6<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). Note also what we had discussed earlier, in the Psalms and in the Torah portion, salvation has both an eternal and temporal application. We are saved only by the mercy and graciousness of God and by reason of His Son Yeshua the Messiah from an eternal aspect, however in this temporal earthly world, the Lord works in our lives in a combination of both His righteousness and our obedience to the commands. We are saved because the Lord God is gracious and merciful and has designed a way for His righteousness to be placed upon His people (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Tehillim \/ Psalm 86:5, Ephesians 2:4<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). The teaching from the Apostolic Writings is that when Yeshua became sin for us (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">2 Corinthians 5:21<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">), and we believe he did this for us, we are given His righteousness. His death paid the price and his resurrection showed God\u2019s acceptance of the work of the Messiah. This is similar to the midrashic and Psalm concept of <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cDeliver me in Your righteous and rescue me (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:2).\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> When we believe in the Messiah, the Lord empowers us to live our lives for His glory. The former sins of disobedience, deceit, being enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life thinking in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another, we now have the conviction of heart and spirit to not do those things any longer. To know our Father in heaven is to see sin the way He sees it and to walk in His footsteps and in the footsteps of the Messiah according to the Torah. <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">1 John 3:9 says, \u201cNo one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God\u2019s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> Instead of sin, the faithful child of God produces <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cfruit in keeping with repentance\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Matthew 3:8<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). Remember that Teshuva is the act of turning from sin, turning one\u2019s life in a new direction, away from sin and towards the Lord God in heaven and His ways. The Salvation (Righteousness) the Lord provides us, gives us both a testimony in our lives of His glory, and enables us to live <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cin the Spirit\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> and thereby truly performing good works (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Galatians 5:16<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) with a fully committed heart for God\u2019s glory. This is why Paul wrote in <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. (NASB)<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The goal of the Lord saving us was not just to rescue us from hell, but also that we would walk in His ways and reflect His character and goodness to the world. The Lord God delights to see us becoming more like His Son (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Romans 8:29<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) which is why our good works are pleasing in His eyes. When the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) makes His dwelling place inside of us, God\u2019s Spirit prompts us to do things that bring glory to His name (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">John 14:26<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). Our desire to please the Lord grows as our understanding of Him grows. The desire to please God results in our good works.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> This is why it is biblically inconsistent to say that someone has been saved but has not changed. Many people go through the outward motions of giving their lives to the Messiah, but do not exhibit lifestyle changes. Their lives which <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cwas\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> filled with sin do not change and so their sins remain. This is why Paul wrote about the former sins of disobedience, deceit, being enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life thinking on malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. Paul says these things are the former life and the one who says he is in the Messiah is not to behave in this way any longer. The Lord helps to change the former ways, and if there is no evidence of change from the former ways, the question should be whether the Lord God is really working in one\u2019s life? This is what James calls <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cdead\u201d <\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">faith (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">James 2:26<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). An interesting analogy is that when you walk into a dark room and flip the light switch, you expect light. If there is no light, you rightly assume something is wrong with the power that gives the light or with the bulb itself. It would be illogical to state that the light is on when the room remains dark. (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Note that this is the problem with Christian churches accepting Homosexuality, they don\u2019t understand who they are in the Messiah.<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) Yeshua the Messiah stands as a light in the darkness and gives light, illuminating one\u2019s heart (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">John 12:46<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) and in a similar manner, our lives are to shine forth the light and truth of God, His glorious power of delivering us from our sins. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> Based upon the midrash, Judaism\u2019s approach to righteousness before the Lord God in heaven, is consistent with what Yeshua, the disciples, and Paul taught. This is understood from the rabbis comments saying, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cHence, it is said, Deliver me in Your righteousness, and rescue me. The verse concludes, Incline Your ear unto me, and save me, if You but incline Your ear unto me, then I know that You heed, as is said, I love the Lord, because He heeds my voice and my supplication, because He has inclined His ear unto me (Tehillim \/ Psalms 116:1). And at once He saves me, as is said, When I was brought low, He saved me (Tehillim \/ Psalms 116:6). So, too, Hezekiah said, Incline Your ear, O Lord, and heed (Isaiah 37:17). And because You inclined Your ear, You did heed and save.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> Midrash Tehillim 71, Part 2 concludes saying, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cFor You did say to Hezekiah, That which you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have listened (Isaiah 19:20). Why? Because You inclined Your ear. Hence, it is said, Incline Your ear unto me and save me.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> In addition to these things, we also find the idea that <\/span><a id=\"_idIndexMarker005\"><\/a><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">maasim tovim (good works) causes the Lord to incline His ear to listen to us. The following Scriptures provide a basis for this:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-4\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1 CharOverride-14\">Tehillim \/ Psalms 66:18<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-4\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">66:18 If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear; (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-4\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1 CharOverride-14\">Mishley \/ Proverbs 28:9<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-4\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">28:9 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-4\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1 CharOverride-14\">1 Peter 3:7<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-4\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">3:7 You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-4\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1 CharOverride-14\">James 1:5-7<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-4\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 1:6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 1:7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord. (NASB).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">Notice the consistency between the Ketuvim, Neviim, and the Apostolic Writings. The idea is that if we regard sin, if we hold onto sin, the Lord will not hear our prayers. Paul writes with this in mind when he told us that we are called to honor our wives so that our prayers will not be hindered and to have faith without doubting from James. The prayer without faith also goes unanswered. Again we find a consistent approach to understanding how we should be approaching our walk and faith before the Lord from both Judaism and the Apostolic Writings. The heart that is wholly devoted to the Lord, that is humble and prays, that performs Teshuva on a daily basis, and seeks the Lord\u2019s help to do so by faith in the Messiah Yeshua, the Lord will help by the power of His Spirit to overcome this world and the sin that is in our lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> Midrash Tehillim 71, Part 3 opens with the Dibur Hamathil (<\/span><span class=\"Hebrew-verse-text\" lang=\"he-IL\">\u05d3\u05d9\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8 \u05d4\u05de\u05ea\u05d7\u05d9\u05dc<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) saying <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cBe my strong habitation (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:3) in my exile, my habitation whereupon I may continually resort.\u201d<\/span> <span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The homiletic introduction to the midrash states, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cIn my exile, when I am in anguish, I go into a synagogue for prayer, and my prayer becomes a strong tower for me, as is said, The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous runs into it, and is safe (Mishley \/ Proverbs 18:10), and further, And it will come to pass, that whosoever will call on the name of the Lord will be delivered (Joel 3:5).\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The question is <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201chow does a synagogue and one\u2019s prayer become a strong tower into which one may run and be safe?\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> We know that prayer is the service of the heart, and is one of the many ways that our love for the Lord God is expressed. Though one may pray in private, praying with a congregation has always traditionally been preferable in Judaism. Therefore, every effort should be made to join a congregation or group of people in prayer. The primary purpose of the synagogue is as a house of prayer (beit tefilah). Although much prayer takes place outside of the synagogue, group prayer is extremely important in Judaism. For example, certain prayers may only be said in the presence of a minyan, a group of at least 10 adults (10 men in Orthodox shuls). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The entire midrash on Tehillim \/ Psalms 71, Part 3 states the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<table id=\"table006\" class=\"Basic-Table\">\n<colgroup>\n<col class=\"_idGenTableRowColumn-2\" \/>\n<col class=\"_idGenTableRowColumn-12\" \/> <\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"Basic-Table _idGenTableRowColumn-13\">\n<td class=\"Basic-Table CellOverride-7\">\n<p class=\"Hebrew-Paragraph-Style--Right-to-Left-\" lang=\"he-IL\"><span class=\"Hebrew-verse-text CharOverride-7\">\u05de\u05d3\u05e8\u05e9 \u05ea\u05d4\u05dc\u05d9\u05dd \u05e4\u05e8\u05e7 \u05e2\u05d0 \u05e1\u05d9\u05de\u05df \u05d2<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Hebrew-Paragraph-Style--Right-to-Left-\" lang=\"he-IL\"><span class=\"Hebrew-verse-text\">\u05d2 \u05d4\u05d9\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d9 \u05dc\u05e6\u05d5\u05e8 \u05de\u05e2\u05d5\u05d6. \u05d1\u05d2\u05dc\u05d5\u05ea. \u05dc\u05d1\u05d0 \u05ea\u05de\u05d9\u05d3. \u05db\u05d9\u05d5\u05df \u05e9\u05d0\u05e0\u05d9 \u05d1\u05e6\u05e2\u05e8 \u05d1\u05d2\u05dc\u05d5\u05ea, \u05d5\u05d0\u05e0\u05d9 \u05e0\u05db\u05e0\u05e1 \u05d1\u05d1\u05ea\u05d9 \u05db\u05e0\u05e1\u05d9\u05d5\u05ea \u05dc\u05d4\u05ea\u05e4\u05dc\u05dc, \u05ea\u05d4\u05d9\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d9 \u05ea\u05e4\u05dc\u05ea\u05d9 \u05de\u05d2\u05d3\u05dc \u05e2\u05d5\u05d6, \u05e9\u05e0\u05d0\u05de\u05e8 \u05de\u05d2\u05d3\u05dc \u05e2\u05d6 \u05e9\u05dd \u05d4\u05f3 (\u05de\u05e9\u05dc\u05d9 \u05d9\u05d7 \u05d9), \u05d5\u05db\u05ea\u05d9\u05d1 \u05db\u05dc (\u05d4\u05e0\u05e7\u05e8\u05d0 \u05d1\u05e9\u05de\u05d9) [\u05d0\u05e9\u05e8 \u05d9\u05e7\u05e8\u05d0 \u05d1\u05e9\u05dd \u05d4\u05f3] \u05d9\u05de\u05dc\u05d8 (\u05d9\u05d5\u05d0\u05dc \u05d2 \u05d4). \u05de\u05db\u05e3 \u05de\u05e2\u05d5\u05dc. \u05d6\u05d4 \u05d9\u05e9\u05de\u05e2\u05d0\u05dc. \u05d5\u05d7\u05d5\u05de\u05e5. \u05d6\u05d5 \u05d0\u05d3\u05d5\u05dd, \u05e9\u05d2\u05d6\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05ea\u05d9\u05d5 \u05e9\u05d2\u05d6\u05e8 \u05e2\u05dc\u05d9 \u05e7\u05e9\u05d9\u05dd \u05db\u05d7\u05d5\u05de\u05e5. \u05db\u05d9 \u05d0\u05ea\u05d4 \u05ea\u05e7\u05d5\u05ea\u05d9 (\u05d5\u05d4\u05f3) [\u05d4\u05f3 \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4\u05d9\u05dd] \u05de\u05d1\u05d8\u05d7\u05d9 \u05de\u05e0\u05e2\u05d5\u05e8\u05d9. \u05de\u05d9\u05de\u05d9 \u05d0\u05d1\u05e8\u05d4\u05dd \u05d9\u05e6\u05d7\u05e7 \u05d5\u05d9\u05e2\u05e7\u05d1. \u05e2\u05dc\u05d9\u05da \u05e0\u05e1\u05de\u05db\u05ea\u05d9 \u05de\u05d1\u05d8\u05df. \u05d1\u05d2\u05dc\u05d5\u05ea \u05de\u05e6\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd, \u05db\u05e9\u05d2\u05d6\u05e8 \u05e4\u05e8\u05e2\u05d4 \u05db\u05dc \u05d4\u05d1\u05df \u05d4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d5\u05d3 \u05d4\u05d9\u05d0\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4 \u05ea\u05e9\u05dc\u05d9\u05db\u05d5\u05d4\u05d5 (\u05e9\u05de\u05d5\u05ea \u05d0 \u05db\u05d1). \u05de\u05de\u05e2\u05d9 \u05d0\u05de\u05d9 \u05d0\u05ea\u05d4 \u05d2\u05d5\u05d6\u05d9. \u05db\u05de\u05d4 \u05e9\u05e0\u05d0\u05de\u05e8 \u05d5\u05db\u05df \u05e0\u05d2\u05d5\u05d6\u05d5 \u05d5\u05e2\u05d1\u05e8 (\u05e0\u05d7\u05d5\u05dd \u05d0 \u05d9\u05d1), \u05e9\u05d4\u05d5\u05e6\u05d0\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9 \u05d1\u05e9\u05dc\u05d5\u05dd, \u05d5\u05d4\u05d5\u05e6\u05d0\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9 \u05de\u05d9\u05d3 \u05de\u05e6\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd. \u05db\u05de\u05d5\u05e4\u05ea \u05d4\u05d9\u05d9\u05ea\u05d9 \u05dc\u05e8\u05d1\u05d9\u05dd. \u05db\u05de\u05d4 \u05e0\u05e1\u05d9\u05dd \u05e2\u05e9\u05d9\u05ea \u05dc\u05d9 \u05d1\u05de\u05e6\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05d1\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05d1\u05de\u05d3\u05d1\u05e8, \u05dc\u05de\u05d4 (\u05db\u05d9 \u05d0\u05ea\u05d4) [\u05d5\u05d0\u05ea\u05d4] \u05de\u05d7\u05e1\u05d9 \u05e2\u05d5\u05d6, \u05dc\u05db\u05da \u05d9\u05de\u05dc\u05d0 \u05e4\u05d9 \u05ea\u05d4\u05dc\u05ea\u05da.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"Basic-Table CellOverride-7\">\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1 CharOverride-14\">Midrash Tehillim 71, Part 3<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">3. Be my strong habitation (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:3) in my exile, my habitation whereupon I may continually resort. In my exile, when I am in anguish, I go into a synagogue for prayer, and my prayer becomes a strong tower for me, as is said, The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous runs into it, and is safe (Mishley \/ Proverbs 18:10), and further, And it will come to pass, that whosoever will call on the name of the Lord will be delivered (Joel 3:5). Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:4), the unrighteous man is Ishmael; and the cruel man is Edom whose decrees enacted against me are as bitter as vinegar. For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:5), my trust from the times of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. By You have I been held up from birth (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:6), that is, from the time during the banishment in Egypt which Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born you will cast into the river (Shemot \/ Exodus 1:22). You are He that cut me loose (gozi) from my mother\u2019s womb (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:6). Gozi is a form of the verb gazaz, cut down, which occurs in the verse, Even so will they cut down (nagozzu) (Nahum 1:12). You are He who cut me loose from my mother\u2019s womb in safety, and You are also He who cut me loose from the power of Egypt. I am as a wonder unto many (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:7). The congregation of Israel said, How many wonders did You perform for me in Egypt, at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness. Because You are my strong refuge, therefore, will my mouth be filled with Your praise (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:8).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The rabbis say that one\u2019s prayer may become a strong tower for safety. The concept that we find here, from a rabbinic perspective, is that prayer has the power to protect one from harm. The idea is that one may through intercession in prayer, build up a wall of protection through one\u2019s prayers. Through prayer one places a protective cover of prayer, in the spirit realm, where the enemy is blocked from coming further to bring harm. According to the Scriptures, we also find this concept of the wall of protection that is established through prayer. For example, in <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Mishley \/ Proverbs 18:10<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">, Solomon said, <\/span><span class=\"Hebrew-verse-text\" lang=\"he-IL\">\u05d9 \u05de\u05b4\u05d2\u05b0\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05dc-\u05e2\u05b9\u05d6 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05dd \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9-\u05d9\u05b8\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05e5 \u05e6\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e0\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05b9\u05d2\u05bc\u05b8\u05d1:<\/span> <span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cThe name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> Solomon says the <\/span><span class=\"Hebrew-verse-text\" lang=\"he-IL\">\u05de\u05b4\u05d2\u05b0\u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05dc-\u05e2\u05b9\u05d6<\/span> <span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cstrong tower\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> is <\/span><span class=\"Hebrew-verse-text\" lang=\"he-IL\">\u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05dd \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4<\/span> <span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cname of the LORD.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The Name of the Lord God is connected to His works and His Word. The Scriptures are given to us for the purpose or remembrance and to provide for us the expectation of a future hope. The Scriptures describe His nature, character, titles, perfections, and attributes, such as His faithfulness, goodness, grace, favor, power, and mercy. In the midst of the oppressions, disasters, difficulties, temptations, ill-treatment, severity, injustice, and inconsiderateness, that we go through in life, the <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cName of the Lord,\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> the awesome power of God, His unfailing love for us and His righteousness that He gives to us becomes a boundary or a border around His people. In this context we are <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201csafe\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> because we trust and believe the Lord is able to beset the enemy and set us far above the danger that may surround us. The Lord God has the power to cause us to go completely unnoticed if we were to talk straight through the camp of the enemy. In <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Tehillim \/ Psalm 18:2<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">, David referred to God as <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cmy high tower.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> Here the Lord is pictured as a place to climb up into, a place of defense, high and lifted up, a refuge which is out of reach of the enemy. The idea here is that through prayer one becomes <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cunreachable\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> to the reproach of the enemy. In <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Tehillim \/ Psalm 61:3<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">, David refers to the Lord again as a <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cstrong tower from the enemy.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> In addition, we are told that the Lord God\u2019s protection is greater than mighty walls. The Lord\u2019s help serves as walls where He Himself is the defender of His people in the place of walls. <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Isaiah 26:1<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> says <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">26:1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: \u2018We have a strong city; He sets up walls and ramparts for security. (NASB) <\/span> <span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Isaiah 60:18<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> states, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">60:18 \u2018Violence will not be heard again in your land, Nor devastation or destruction within your borders; But you will call your walls salvation, and your gates praise. (NASB)<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The point here is that the Lord\u2019s salvation function as walls of protection. <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Zechariah 2:5<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">, describes the Lord as being a <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cwall of fire round about,\u201d \u201cFor I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> Note how the Salvation of God, according to Yeshua the Messiah in <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Matthew 16:18<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">, we are told that the gates of Hell will never be able to prevail against them, in parallel fashion to what is being taught by the rabbis, and what we find here in these few references to the Scriptures. The power of God to save us through our prayers denotes the supernatural protection that occurs when God\u2019s people pray and yield to the calling of the Holy Spirit to pray which is to seek the Lord God our Father in heaven for help and salvation from our enemies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The midrash continues saying the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-4\"><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:4), the unrighteous man is Ishmael; and the cruel man is Edom whose decrees enacted against me are as bitter as vinegar. For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:5), my trust from the times of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob.

Gozi is a form of the verb gazaz, cut down, which occurs in the verse, Even so will they cut down (nagozzu) (Nahum 1:12). You are He who cut me loose from my mother\u2019s womb in safety, and You are also He who cut me loose from the power of Egypt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">The rabbis speak of God\u2019s deliverance from the hand of the unrighteous man. The exile, is paralleled to the countries that have conquered and subjugated Israel, such as Rome, Greece, Egypt, and Babylon, and the men Ishmael and Edom (Esau) are often paralleled with these nations as we have seen in the previous midrashim. The idea here in the midrash is the Lord God performs miracles for His people, the Lord is the One who is involved in saving the child through the birthing process. The Lord cuts the child loose from his mother and sets him on the path to becoming the man He wants him to become. In a similar fashion, the Lord cut Israel loose from bondage in Egypt, and set them upon the path to become the people He had chosen. In like manner, He has set us free from the bondage of sin in the Messiah Yeshua to become the people that He has chosen, and the set us upon the path of righteousness and truth. Midrash Tehillim 71, Part 3 concludes saying, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cI am as a wonder unto many (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:7). The congregation of Israel said, How many wonders did You perform for me in Egypt, at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness. Because You are my strong refuge, therefore, will my mouth be filled with Your praise (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:8).\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> We are a wonder to many by reason of How the Lord God in heaven has changed our lives. Because of this we can rest assured the Lord is our strong refuge and for this reason we are filled with praises to the Lord God in heaven.

What does it mean to lack good works? Could this be the result of living a long life and becoming dulled to effects of sin in one\u2019s life? How important is training ourselves to do good deeds, to live righteously, in light of the idea that as one gets older one has the capacity to be more sinful? The rabbis comment saying that the Lord God has trained David from his Youth (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:17<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) and so the idea is that being raised up to know the Lord, one continues in the ways of the Lord and to expect the Lord to work in one\u2019s life, to be trained to expect miracles. Because of the way the Lord has worked in our lives, He has given us a testimony to declare His wondrous works (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:17<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) at all times, and when we are old, we will continue to declare His wonders and His working in our lives. The declaration of God\u2019s good works is to be told to the generation to come, to our sons and daughters. They say, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cThe same thing is said in the account of the exodus from Egypt, That you may declare to the ears of your son and your son\u2019s son what I have wrought upon Egypt. You will quicken me again (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:20), that is, quicken me at the resurrection of the dead.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> This concept of the resurrection is similar to what we had previously studied, when the people of Israel arrived at the mountain of Sinai, they died, and the Lord caused the dew of the resurrection to fall upon them and revived them (see <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Targum Pseudo Jonathan and Tehillim \/ Psalms 68:10 study<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). The stories from the Torah has the capacity of raising one from the dead. What the rabbis are trying to say is that the wonders of God, His mighty works, His miracles, His power, the testimony of Scripture has the power to convict the spirit, and to raise us up to obedience, to have a desire to draw near to the Lord, to obey His word, to live for Him, to know Him, and to expect great things from the Lord God in heaven. The rabbis say, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cThe words, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth, allude to the bringing up of those me who are swallowed in the abyss, even Korach and his entire company will be brought up again.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> That even the great sin of Korach who went down to the grave alive, when the ground opened up according to Parashat Korach, the Lord has the power to raise even the entire company of Korach from the grave. What the rabbis are teaching here is being in sin, one is as dead before God. On the other hand, being in the Messiah Yeshua, is as one is alive before God. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> Midrash Tehillim 71, Part 4 concludes saying, <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cSome maintain that You will quicken me again means that You will bring me out of exile which is like death and the abyss. And thereupon I also will give thanks unto You, etc. (Tehillim \/ Psalms 71:22).\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The rabbis are paralleling the exile to being as one who is dead and in the abyss, in Sheol, a place of darkness and want. The testimony of the Scriptures provides us with a hopeful and future expectation of the Lord, of His greatness, His power to deliver, to save, and even to resurrect us from the dead both in this world and in the world to come, to restore us and to make us new.
