6 I will not be afraid [yare'] of ten thousands [rababah] of people, [`am] that have set [shiyth] themselves against me round about. [cabiyb] KJV-Interlinear




6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about. NASB




The word for ten-thousands, ‘rababah,’ means an indefinite number, countless enemies, whether large or small in number.


To set themselves, ‘shiyth,’ means to array in an organized effort of purpose. This opposition is not by accident, but one of intention.


Round about, means on every side, from every angle.


The world is full of enemies. There is unfairness and bias and prejudice and handicaps galore. Whether physical or mental or social or financial, the world has more angles of attack than one can even begin to count.


Take two piles of dust and set them beside one another. Which is the better pile? And yet one pile will presume that it is the better pile of dust and try to take advantage of the other, even to the point of eliminating the other pile.


And yet God took human life and created it out of nothing. With no substance, no color, no culture, no background whatsoever, and inserted it, human life, into a pile of dust, and said to that pile of dust, ‘Obey Me, and I will give the universe to you.’


All of the world is nothing but a large number of piles of dust who presume that they can out maneuver, out smart, out do, God.


To the obedient, to the humble, to those who pursue their spiritual lives in accordance with Gods will, then the power and sovereign will of God becomes the ultimate fortress and palace and temple and destiny, forever.
