Psalm 9:20

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

20 Put [shiyth] them in fear [mowra'], [mowra'] O LORD: [Yahovah] that the nations [gowy] may know [yada`] themselves to be but men. ['enowsh] Selah. [celah] KJV-Interlinear

20 Put them in fear, O Lord; Let the nations know that they are but men. Selah. NASB

This psalm closes with a reminder, God is God, and men are but men.

God controls all of eternity and all that is, and men are totally dependent on God having no control over anything in life, even in death they are powerless.

Man is a mere spark of life inserted into the dust of the earth, and nothing more.

Man did not create the universe. Man created nothing. Man cannot create anything. He can shape things certainly but he cannot control the fundamental principles that rule this universe. Man seeks freedom, but he has no choice but to serve as a slave to his own sin nature, or serve God. There is no third choice.

Man cannot conquer his limitations.  Man cannot predestine himself before his own birth.

David closes with this prayer, that the wicked will not get away with their wickedness and that the righteous will not be forgotten. And with certainty those believers who are positive will be remembered and delivered and blessed.

While all who have forgotten God or rejected God will get their due. Unbelievers permanently, and negative believers will have their temporary misery here on earth and loss of reward in eternity.

Positive believers will get their stress tests certainly, but will graduate to permanent promotion and blessing, both in this life on earth, and in eternity.

Unbelievers and negative believers should fear God, because of what He can withhold, and because of what they cannot do.

Selah. The band plays on. Grace continues. Gods plan continues.

We have no influence on God or His plan. Ignoring His plan and reality, gains man nothing.

God saw in eternity past all that would happen and set His decrees in place, selecting the best possible combination of events for all of human history, and for you and each person specificlaly, without interfering with our individual volition.  

Regardless of what we choose to do in life, history will play itself out for the greater good as defined by Bible doctrine.  Better to be on the winning team, than on a losing team.

Gods team has already won the fight. The conclusion of history and each of our lives is certain.

We can exercise our positive volition for God and study His Word daily and incorporate it into our lives and be winners. Or we can reject and otherwise ignore God and suffer through a life of misery and judgment, and greater loss.

Psalm 9:19

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

19 Arise, [quwm] O LORD; [Yahovah] let not man ['enowsh] prevail: [`azaz] let the heathen [gowy] be judged [shaphat] in thy sight. [paniym] KJV-Interlinear

19 Arise, O Lord, do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged before Thee. NASB

God is perfect truth.  Truth is where facts and reality match up perfectly. 

Truth is not theory or best guesses or presumption, or interpretations of convenience.  Truth is not up for debate or discussion or modification or open to varying view points.

If something is, then it is.  If something is not, then it is not.

Man is lacking in access to truth on his own, therefore he must discover it.  He has many tools made available at his disposal, all of which have been given to man by God, but man is still limited in his ability to observe and prove truth.

We were not present at the beginning, and we cannot see angels or things beyond our knowledge.  But we can test and discover the many things that God has provided for us in this universe.

Whether the vastness of space or the intricacy of genetics, God has given us the ability to discover these things and how they function.  But only to discover the magnitude and complexity of Gods work, and utilize them, but not to invent mans theories or for self defined destinies or accomplishments.

Throughout history, man has been chained with sin and death.  From these things, man cannot escape.

Man has an ever present view of his own improvement as the generations pass forward in history.  However, the Bible teaches us that mans advancement in history will only end up in the worst possible state for humanity, and eventual self destruction. 

That is the subject of Revelation.  And that is the only destiny available for the lack of truth.

Therefore, man must fail, because mans efforts lead only to self destruction.  In this, our verse teaches us that man must not succeed in his efforts of self extermination.

The heathen is a term we have seen many times, and refers not to backward cultures, but is a descriptive and symbolic term that identifies everyone who lacks truth.  This can include backward cultures, as well as even the most advanced cultures in the world.

Truth provides clarity of thought and correct discernment in reality.  Lack of truth makes one backwards, uncivilized, superstitious, detached from reality, disoriented to life (all of these are heathenistic descriptions in other words), in the soul, regardless of ones culture.  Therefore, evil.

Unless evil is judged then evil will destroy all living things.

Unless truth is demonstrated and proved (Gods policy), then all will deviate from it.

So, evil must be removed in order for life and truth to function and flourish. Therefore, judgment is necessary in order to preserve and promote all life, and eliminate the destructiveness of evil.

Psalm 9:18

Psalm 9:18

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

18 For the needy ['ebyown] shall not alway [netsach] be forgotten: [shakach] the expectation [tiqvah] of the poor [`aniy] [`anav] shall not perish ['abad] for ever. [`ad] KJV-Interlinear

18 For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever. NASB

God does not forget those who are under affliction. God does not forget the believers who are positive toward His word.

God judges and sets things straight from time to time in history. We have seen in Judges that Joshua and the Israelites utterly destroyed the peoples in the land. Men, women, children, animals, everything was killed or burned to destroy the stench of evil that was running rampant in the land.

Throughout history man has demonstrated an unwillingness to take this course of action to protect human life, so God superimposes His will on history and takes out judgment through various means to protect us from ourselves.

Sometimes it is through war. Sometimes through disease, or earthquakes. Whatever the tool used, it is used efficiently by God to do that which mankind sometimes sees but does nothing about. Usually politics and public opinion rules leaders rather than truth and justice.

These evil types are sent back to where they came from, evil. Those who suffer from the tyranny of the wicked are saved and promoted eventually in Gods grace and in Gods good time.

The needy and the poor, is a reference to those who are deprived from that which they are in need of.

Everyone is in need of a spiritual life.  Most unfortunately, reject Gods mandated spiritual life, or they define their own version of a spiritual life.

There are however, many who pursue the spiritual life that God has ordained and it is of those who this verse refers.  Whether rich or poor is irrelevant.  All who pursue God, Christ, doctrine and things better for them due to Gods promises, then have an eternal promise, and an eternal destiny that will never fade or diminish.

Gods promises are certain.  And regardless of what things are going on in this world, be they earthquakes or tsunami's, high gas prices or high food prices, unemployment or social difficulties in ones life, Gods promises will always be there, Gods plan for humanity and for your specific life, will march forward, and there will be nothing to stop them.

The world is often referred to as the cosmos, or Satan’s domain.  All who reject Christ and doctrine, subscribe to evil by default, but the great equalizer in life is death, which brings all of mans plans to a screeching halt.

Just remember that the sum total of your life does not begin and end in this world, but goes on forever in the next life.  Therefore, prepare yourself for the next and much longer life, for it is there that all of Gods promises will become a reality.

Those who reject Christ lose their eternal life.  Those believers who reject doctrine and their spiritual growth, lose eternal reward.  Only those who wake up and see the value of doctrine and Gods promises in their destiny, and thus pursue their spiritual life to maturity, will reap great rewards which will equate to beyond the infinite, which is beyond ones imagination.

Psalm 9:17

Psalm 9:17

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

17 The wicked [rasha`] shall be turned [shuwb] into hell, [sha'owl] and all the nations [gowy] that forget [shakeach] God. ['elohiym] KJV-Interlinear

17 The wicked will return to Sheol, Even all the nations who forget God. NASB

The wicked, specifically unbelievers will return to Sheol, 'sheowl', the world of the dead, subterranean retreat, inmates prison.

There are four compartments in the underworld. There is Tartarus, Torments, Abyss, and Paradise. Torments is the place where unbelievers go when they die and it is not a good place to be in. There they await until the end of history, for the second death which will come at the Great White Throne at the end of the Millennium. 

Torments, is separated from the other compartments by a great gulf deep, meaning impassable. Its occupants are trapped permanently there with absolutely no way out, until Christ calls them out for their final trial before the Great White Throne.

The nations, refers to the many peoples that will come from many nations, from all over the world throughout history.  And many will be in this place in the underworld. They neither desire God not regard God in their daily lives. They do not desire the knowledge of God but seek their own counsel for guidance in life.

Their own counsel is based on darkness and detachment from truth. Therefore they have no genuine guide, or course with which to travel by or even measure their advancement or deviation from a correct course in life. They are traveling blind and do not see, or they refuse to see their demise which lies in front of them.

The wicked seem to think that they can run this world through their oppression. They make great sounding speeches to gain the support of the masses, the poor, those in need, or those who are not in power, but they hold out a different standard for themselves. They make laws for us, and change them for themselves as they see fit.

The wicked is not limited to only tyrant rulers, but includes all people, rich or poor, who pursue their own course in life, to the exclusion of Gods authorized plan. Most probably maintain an indifferent attitude toward God, Christ, and doctrine, substituting their own priorities in life, from this temporary world.

Consequently their priorities are temporary as well.

And as such, all people who reject God, Christ, doctrine, and therefore truth, will fail in life, at the end of their life, by the event of death.

People can only succeed in their own eyes, while they are alive in this world, but then after death, do they then realize that they have gained and succeeded in nothing.  And that is unfortunate for them.

For the poor, who reject Christ and doctrine, their failure in life is only extended and magnified by their bitterness in their failure in life in general.

For the wealthy, who reject Christ, their success in life only serves as a blinder to their ultimate failure when they are introduced to eternity through death.

And Sheol though a general term referring to the land of the dead, applies to everyone, whether believer or unbeliever, because all peoples lives, whether positive of negative toward God, come to a halt when they die.

Psalm 9:16

Copyright Ó 2011 J. Neely

Psalm 9:16

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

16 The LORD [Yahovah] is known [yada`] by the judgment [mishpat] which he executeth: [`asah] the wicked [rasha`] is snared [naqash] in the work [po`al] of his own hands. [kaph] Higgaion. [higgayown] Selah. [celah]KJV-Interlinear

16 The Lord has made Himself known; He has executed judgment. In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. Higgaion Selah. NASB

God has revealed Himself to all of mankind. He has revealed Himself through the principles of creation and all that we see. He has certainly given us His written Word. Nearly everything in life gives us some form of teaching aid from which to learn about God, whether it is the female concept discussed previously, or whether it is our view of the stars and the vastness of outer space, or the organization and design of things under the microscope. No matter where we look we can find examples of God and His existence.

In contrast, Satan has desires to rule everything, but he has created nothing except for evil, which is a singularly destructive force.

God has sovereignty over all things. He executes judgment and discernment, where we can all understand right from wrong. Unfortunately most do not pay attention to the lessons we learn in life. Most don't make the connection to God and our individual destinies.

God is the author of truth.  God is the communicator of truth.  At no time in history, regardless of how the historical text books describe history, at no time has man ever created or invented truth, nor laws, nor anything fair in or for life.  God provides all of the standards and all of the guidelines for truth for the rule of law, and social norms and standards for humanity.

Higgaion, 'higgatown', meditation, solemn, ponder study. Think about what you learn. Do not simply read the words in the Bible lessons, or the words in the Bible verses, but think about them. Ponder them. Commit the concepts to memory. Commit verses to memory. Learn and utilize what you learn in your daily life. Keep yourself in fellowship constantly.

Study daily without finding excuses as to why you do not have time for study. Memorize verses. Pray daily, morning, noon, and night. Monitor your own life, the way you think, the way you treat others, the way you do your work, confess accordingly for maintaining your fellowship environment and spiritual state.

Adjust your life to comply with the will of God as an 'obedient wife' adjusts her life to the will of her husband. Adjust your life to hold yourself accountable and be responsible as a 'responsible husband' should be to his family.

Neither concept is the greater nor the lessor. Both principles apply to us all with respect to Bible doctrine and our relationship to God.

The alternative is to join the 'nations' in their self dug pit of misery and disaster.

Selah - the band plays on. Grace.  Gods plan continues whether you comply or not. Gods plan does not depend on you or anyone. God is greater than all of us put together.

You can go with His plan and be blessed and prosper, or you can buck the system and suffer the consequences. You always have a choice.

Psalm 9:15

Copyright Ó 2011 J. Neely

Psalm 9:15

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

15 The heathen [gowy] are sunk down [taba`] in the pit [shachath] that they made: [`asah] in the net [resheth] which [zuw] they hid [taman] is their own foot [regel] taken. [lakad] KJV-Interlinear

15 The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.  NASB

Nations, 'gowy', means heathen, foreigners. This is a collective term for all those who have ignored or rejected God and doctrine and truth. There is not just one or two people who have missed the boat. There are many.

Beginning with Lucifer, who we know as Satan or the Devil, and the one-third of the angels who followed him in his rebellion against God, and continuing on with all humans who have followed that same pattern of rebellion.

We do not know how many angels there are. Likewise we do not know how many humans have lived throughout history. We do know that there are over seven billion of us now, but what is the number since Adam? Perhaps several trillion?  More, or perhaps less? We simply do not know.

Regardless of the number, there are only two categories of people in history, those who are positive toward God and those who are negative. The nations, refers to the negative peoples. Those who live by their sin natures and in so doing dig their own misery in life and determine their own destiny by their own negative volition.  An attitude that they choose to pursue.

In Psa. 7:15, they dug their own pit and jumped into it. People who reject God are their own worst enemy. They do to themselves more harm than God really needs to do. God simply sits back and shakes His head in amazement at their stupidity. Of course God knew prior to anyone's decision, just what they would do and where they were headed.

God judges with many arrows, and sometimes we are our own worst arrow, shooting ourselves. Negative people set the trap, the snare for others, and catch themselves.

This is in contrast with the daughter concept of the last lesson. Positive people are responders to God. Obedient, attentive, willing, submissive, desirous with the deepest desire of what God has to offer. Though this is referred to in the feminine, it describes the true positive believer who studies and advances by means of that study of Gods Word. We have an intimate relationship with God, from the perspective of doctrine, through the environment or sphere of fellowship.

In contrast are the 'nations' those who rebel against God, the heathen, the harlot, the disobedient wife. When we reject Gods will and design in life, we only endorse traps for ourselves and the misery that results. We have no one to blame but ourselves, even though, all who reject God tend to blame everyone else for their problems. Excuses are easy to find when we do not want to be responsible for our own decisions.

Psalm 9:14

Copyright Ó 2011 J. Neely

Psalm 9:14

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

14 That I may shew forth [caphar] all thy praise [tahillah] in the gates [sha`ar] of the daughter [bath] of Zion: [Tsiyown] I will rejoice [giyl] in thy salvation. [yashuw`ah] KJV-Interlinear

14 That I may tell of all Thy praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Thy salvation. NASB

Daughter, 'bath', to make children, repair, make, build (as in 'banah', build), feminine of 'ben', one born to, offspring.

A daughter is an offspring of a parent. God created each of our lives, our human lives at the point of our physical birth when the spark of life, 'neshamah' was exhaled from God and inhaled into our soul. He is the source of our eternal rebirth when eternal life is imputed by God into our human spirit. God formed Adam from the dust of the earth, thus initiating our biological life process, a process which we continue via sex and the perpetuation of the human race. But we do not create life. God alone does that.

So God is the parent of mankind in its creation, and He is the parent of believers when we believe in Jesus Christ and are entered into His personal spiritual family becoming sons of God, and when we fulfill our role as the bride of Christ in the period following the rapture.

We have already seen the meaning of Zion, basically the foundation of Bible doctrine, but we here have the reference of 'daughter of Zion,' the offspring, the female offspring of doctrine. The gates being the accesses each believer has to Bible doctrine, for God does not restrict us from doctrine when we are positive.

So 'daughter' has a special meaning. Daughter is female. I'm sure we all caught that real quick, but we are not all females. Some of you out there are female, but some of you are male, as I am. This reference is to the characteristics of the feminine role in life.

Quick look at females vs. males. Males represent the concept of the aggressor, the authority, the one who stands out in front in times of trouble and protects his family. The female concept is that of responder, of nurturer, the one who stands in support of her male counterpart. The female plays the subordinate role, obedient to authority. Now don't get defensive ladies. This feminine concept applies to us all, both male and female, with respect to our spiritual lives.

God is the authority. We are the ones to be obedient to Him, without question. He gives us wisdom and we respond in the sense of the feminine response to her authority partner, and this is a sexual response. You'll have to use your imagination to picture in your own minds the sexual act and the respective roles each man and woman plays in sex. As the woman opens herself to her man, so likewise we open our soul to Gods word, receiving it into our innermost self.

We respond to God as a daughter, a female offspring. Responding and submitting to our parent in an intimate fashion. Learning Bible doctrine is intimate and private between God and each one of us. God fills our soul with life and vitality, Bible doctrine.

That we might 'tell' and 'rejoice' in Bible doctrine the source of our salvation, the source of our spiritual growth to spiritual maturity. We tell others when the subject comes up in conversation. We feel good inside when we comprehend the magnitude of what we have from Bible doctrine. This good feeling is true inner happiness, not a pseudo happiness as experienced by negative people, people without Bible doctrine in their souls.

Salvation is not only deliverance from sin and death and a guarantee of eternal life with God in heaven, but it is also deliverance from ignorance, deliverance from the false concepts and false conclusions that general public opinion or human philosophies provide.

Truth is revealed to us. Light replaces the darkness of ignorance that the world can provide, and the world can only provide darkness. The world cannot provide light, or truth. Only God can provide that.

Therefore, we can only praise (study, learn, grow) during our life.  There is no praise concept after death.  The dead cannot study, learn or grow.

We praise at the gates of doctrine, which is life.  We do not stand at the gates of death (sin and evil or the world) in order to gain life.  Sin and evil and the world (human philosophies) do not possess life in any form.

We praise (study and live) in the gates (the place of access or entrance) of Zion, which is the body of doctrine. As the daughter (offspring) by means of spiritual growth, from within salvation.

Once saved we have access to the spiritual life through fellowship, which is made available through regular confession.  And while in fellowship, we have access to doctrine and through study and learning, we grow up in our spiritual life.

We therefore are the offspring or product of God.  He makes and completes us.  We do not make or complete ourselves.

In very simple terms, you are a spark of life, repeat a spark, imputed by God into dust, and you are nothing more than that, until or unless God makes your something more.

Psalm 9:13

Copyright Ó 2011 J. Neely

Psalm 9:13

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

13 Have mercy [chanan] upon me, O LORD; [Yahovah] consider [ra'ah] my trouble [`oniy] which I suffer of them that hate [sane'] me, thou that liftest me up [ruwm] from the gates [sha`ar] of death: [maveth] KJV-Interlinear

13 Be gracious to me, O Lord; Behold my affliction from those who hate me, Thou who dost lift me up from the gates of death; NASB

David's prayer for grace, Gods plan and policy for mankind is grace.

God does all the work for the benefit of mankind. Man can neither earn nor deserve anything that he has. None of us can earn nor do we deserve anything that we have. God provided our genetics, our human life, our IQ, our ability, our circumstances of life. We had nothing to do with what we are, except for the volition that we present to God, either for or against Him and life.

If for God, then Bible doctrine shapes our thinking, and that is from God. If we are against or apathetic toward God, then our sin nature shapes our thinking and God in not in the darkness of our sin nature, therefore we are shaped by God by the mere absence of God and His Word.

Our failure is our fault. Our success is Gods credit.

God placed us in this world at this exact point in time of our individual lives. God knew that our lives would be shaped by the environment of today, the technology, the philosophy, the social interactions or lack of them, our career choice, and so forth. God gave us grace, a means of preserving our life despite our good or bad decisions.

We have afflictions merely by living in this world. The world is decaying. It was never designed to be eternal. The earth and the universe will one day be replaced, but for now we have it for better or worse.

In this earth are people, bureaucracies, natural disasters, not to mention our own thoughts. These four areas provide us with a limitless supply of affliction either from within ourselves or from without.

Bible doctrine is the solution of all such problems.

Who hates David? The same sources that hate each one of us. The world in general hates anything that is of God.

The world is a conspiracy, a conspiracy by definition, not by paranoia. Conspiracy is two or more involved in some activity. They conspire to conduct themselves in their 'chosen' pursuit. Anything that is anti-God is a pursuit, chosen by those who desire it and pursue it by their own volition. They do not have to be working in concert with each other, but merely pursuing the same pattern. 

Therefore there is the conspiracy y defnintion, initiated by Satan, and pursued by many who have followed in his pattern of anti-God policy.

This is the source of our affliction. The world in not perfect nor fair. People are not perfect nor fair. We are the target of gossip, inordinate competition, social ostracism, politics in the office, and so forth.

When we succeed others will hate us. We may never know who they are, not even be aware of them. Yet too, we may be faced with their frontal bitterness against us, and we may have to endure their little tantrums and gossip assaults and games.

Thus David's prayer. Not a specific prayer targeted toward one specific individual but targeted toward the general direction of worldly pressures that only God can protect us from.

God alone lifts us up from the gates of death.

In salvation from the gates of the second death, the final judgment, the Great White Throne, which we will escape because we have believed in Jesus Christ.

In our spiritual life in this time we spend on earth, God protects us from a carnal death, a life without Bible doctrine in our souls. If we choose, of course, to study Gods Word on a regular basis. Then we are delivered from the bonds of our sin nature and that carnality which smothers a person in the dead productions of the sin nature.

A person is either carnal, negative toward God, or spiritual, positive toward God. We either live in carnality, out of fellowship, or in Gods power sphere, in fellowship in the spiritual life, through confession.

By salvation God delivers us from eternal separation from Him.

In our spiritual growth, God delivers us from the pressures of this life, from the fears, and frustrations, and anxieties that could overwhelm an unprepared person.

God lifts us up. He forgives and forgets our errors.

The world tries to remember all our mistakes, great or small, and attempts to remind us of our worthlessness. Others are always putting us down in order to advance themselves at our expense. God advances us despite our failures or circumstances.

Within the spiritual life there is doctrine, learning and understanding, and finally wisdom.

Wisdom leads to opportunities and ability.

Ability leads to innovation and success.

Success leads to promotion and prosperity.

Prosperity leads to wealth and happiness.  And happiness, not by means of the things that you possess, but by means of all of the above which create the completed person within you.  Doctrine by which is the cornerstone and building material of your soul.

From the world all of these steps exist as well, however from the world the only result is emptiness and nothingness.  The world has no substance in reality.

Gods policy of Grace, is the only means to security and safety, and the completion of ones life, while still living within the adversities of this world.

Psalm 9:12

Copyright Ó 2011 J. Neely

Psalm 9:12

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

12 When he maketh inquisition [darash] for blood, [dam] he remembereth [zakar] them: he forgetteth [shakach] not the cry [tsa`aqah] of the humble [`anav]. [`aniy] KJV-Interlinear

12 For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted. NASB

When God makes inquisition, means, when God prosecutes the acts of crime and sin and evil and wickedness.

All evil is a crime against truth.  All sin is a crime against truth.  All criminal acts are crimes against truth.  All wickedness is a crime against truth. And although these terms overlap in definition and scope, the meaning here is that God will, with certainty, prosecute all violations of any and every type against truth.

He does this in behalf of truth.  God is truth and since all evil is against truth, it is therefore against God.

However, God prosecutes evil on behalf of all who are the victims of evil and so forth, too.

And even though we are all sinners, and therefore in violation of Gods truth, God has prepared a plan and a solution to help us out of that trap in judgment. That solution is salvation by faith in Christ.

Therefore, since there are many who will believe in Christ, then evil must be eliminated in order to have justice properly served.

Blood is the symbolism for justice.  And all crime in all of its forms, wickedness (sin and human good), must all necessarily be dealt with, otherwise God would not be holy, which is set apart and perfect and fair and faithful.

God never forgets.  God knows all acts, thoughts, intents of the heart, and will never allow even a single transgression go unpunished.  He purposes no favoritism, no bias, no gestures in favor of anyone over another.

His justice and application of it, is fair and true and consistently applied to all with equality.  God makes no differentiation between race, color, culture, social status, geographical location, or anything of human attribute.

All may come before Him in faith, just as all may reject Him, but nevertheless all persons are treated with the proper and fair application of His justice either in discipline or judgment.
