Songs – “Psalms”, “Tehillim” – The pre-advent canonical collection of songs from various authors. “(Melodic) Songs” is a true translation to English of mizmórowth, whereas “Psalms” is an anglicized transliteration of a translation of this common noun to Greek, and “Tehillim” is `Ivríyth (Hebrew) and not the word which we have found to be the name of this collection.

Song 23

A song of Dâwíth.

Yâ-hwéh is the One tending me, I shall not lack anything.

2.In meadows of green grass, He causes me to settle down, He guides me over to the waters of a resting place;

3.My life (néphesh) He brings back, He guides me into the furrowed paths of righteousness on account of His name.

4.Even as I walk in the valley of the death shadow, I will not fear evil because You are with me, Your rod and Your staff they are what comfort me.

5.You arrange before me a table in front of my oppressors, You thoroughly anoint my head with the oil, Your cup is the best from which to become drunk;

6.Indeed goodness and kindness, they shall follow closely after me all of the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yâ-hwéh for the length of the days.

Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa`’s prayer against the Traitor and his people

For the conductor, a melodious song of Dâwíth.

“O Power (’Ël) of My boastful praise, let it not be engraved,

because the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are against Me, they have opened it up, they have dictated of Me the language of the Lie,
so words of hatred have they brought around Me, and they have waged war against Me without cause.
In return for My love they are My adversaries, though I prayer,
and they rewarded Me evil for Goodness and hatred for My Love.
Appoint a criminal over him [Yehuwthâ´h (“Judas’)], and let Sâţâ´n stand at his right hand;
During his trial let him emerge condemned, and may his prayer become for a condemnation.
Let his days be few ones, let another take his position of charge; [Deeds 1: 20]
Let his children be fatherless and his wife be a widow,
and let his children surely be wandering beggars, let them be driven from their ruins.
Let the lender seize all that he has and let foreigners plunder the products of his labor;
Let there not exist for him a one extending a kindness and let there not exist a one having pity on his fatherless ones. [YchezqË´’l 46: 16-18]
Let his descendants be cut off from the next generation, [“Yehuwthâ´h” (“Judaism”)]
Let the depravity of his fathers be remembered to Yâ-hwéh and the sin of his mother never be erased:
May they be before Yâ-hwéh continually so from the earth,
for the fact that he did not recall to work kindness but he pursued the Man who was afflicted and needy and brokenhearted to kill Him.
And he loved the curse so let it come on him, and he did not find pleasure in blessing so let it be removed from him.

And he put on a curse as his garment, and it came like the waters into his body and like the oil into his bones,

let it be for him like clothing and like a belt he binds on continuously.
This is the wages of My adversaries from Yâ-hwéh, and of the ones dictating evil against My Self...
So You, Yâ-hwéh My Sovereign, work Me on account of Your name, rescue Me because Your kindness is Goodness,
because I am One Who is afflicted and needy and My heart, it was pierced in My insides, [ZkharYâ´hu 12: 10, Yâhuwchânâ´n’s Glad Tidings 19: 34-37, Disclosure 1: 7]
like a shadow when it [day] declines, I have gone away, I have been shaken off like an insect,
My blessings, they have faltered due to having the mouth covered over and My glad tidings are denied from growing robust,
so I am Who has become a reproach for them; [Glad Tidings of Këph 7: 26, Yâhuwchânâ´n’s Glad Tidings 20: 19] they see Me, they shake their heads… [MattithYâ´huw 27: 39]
Help Me, Yâ-hwéh, My Power (’Ëlíy) ! Save Me, according to Your Kindness,
and they shall recognize that This One is Your Hand, You are Yâ-hwéh Who worked It (v. 21).
They will trivialize It but You are Who will bless It; they who insurrect who shall be shamed, but Your Servant is Who shall rejoice.
My shall be clothed with ignominy, and their shame shall wrap them up like a robe.
I shall openly and joyfully acknowledge Yâ-hwéh exceedingly with My Mouth, and in the midst of multitudes I shall boastfully praise Him,
because He took a stand at the right hand of the One needing help, to save from ones condemning Self!”

Strong’s #1288 not #1290 “knees”, a difference of only vowel points.

Strong’s #1319 not #1320 “flesh”, a difference of only vowel points.

Strong’s #8080 not #8081 “fat”

In the Masoretic this appears as plural ’Elohíym but as Yâhuwshúa` is speaking, this must have been singular to refer to His own Power, the “Father” (Songs 22: 1, 89: 26).

The Traitor had the same altered name as the tribe which altered their name to avoid mentioning Yâ-hwéh’s name, and they follow his same example, making him their leader.

As their name itself constitutes a violation of the Third Commandment, and all the works of the adversary will be undone, there is no place in the clean future to come for such a name.

The bold type statements here and in verse 13 were used by the very people this Song speaks of as an acronym for a false name they apply to Yâhuwshúa`, “y-sh-w”, which means “may His name and memory be blotted out”. But it is their name which this speaks of.

In the Masoretic this appears as plural ’Elohíym but as Yâhuwshúa` is speaking, this must have been singular to refer to His own Power, the “Father” (Songs 22: 1, 89: 26).

An acrostic poem

Rejoicing for having been given the name of Yâhuwshúa`

Boastfully praise ye Yâ´hu (Háleluw Yâ´hu!)

A. The happy blessings of the one being sound of The Way, the one walking by the instructions of Yâ-hwéh!

The happy blessings of the one diligently investigating His testimonies who diligently seek Him with all one’s heart!
Moreover they who walk in His Way do not make an evil distortion (lawlessness),
You are Who commissioned Your charges to be much kept, [v. 138]
Ah! If only my ways were firmly established to observe Your prescriptions!
Then I would not be shamed when I make myself look at all of Your commandments.
I shall profess You with uprightness of heart when I am to learn the procedures of Your justification,
with Your prescriptions I will keep it, do not forsake me for excess.

B. By what means can a youth make clean his path? Keeping () Your Word [Yâhuwshúa` (Disclosure 19: 13)] safely preserved.
With all of my heart I have carefully sought You, do not let me be misled astray from Your commandments,
in my heart I have treasured up Your Word in order that I might not sin against You.
Blessed are You, Yâ-hwéh, teach me Your prescriptions,
with my speech I have recited all of the ordinances of Your Mouth,
with the Way of Your Testimonies, I have rejoiced like over all riches,
on Your charges [v. 138] I will ponder and I will perceive Your ways,
in Your prescriptions I delight myself: I would not forget Your Word.

G. Recompense Your servant, I will live and I will keep Your Word;
uncover my eyes so I may perceive the things which are extraordinary from Your instructions! [Epheçíym 1: 17]
A sojourner am I on the earth, do not let Your commandments be hidden from me
my animus (néphesh) is broken up for its longing for Your just determinations during every occasion,
You have rebuked the insolent ones: cursed are the ones who are straying from Your commandments! [5 Moshéh 27: 26]
Roll away from upon me reproach and contempt because I have guarded with fidelity Your Testimonies,
indeed even princes have sat down against me and dictated it [reproach and contempt (v.22)] with one another; but Your servant was who pondered Your prescriptions,
moreover Your Testimonies are my delights, and Your prescriptions are my advisors.
cause me to understand “The Way” of Your charges [v. 138] so I will ponder on Your marvels.
My self (néphesh) has wept tears from grief; confirm me like Your Word!
Put the way of the Lie away from me and [away from] Your instructions; Favor me,
I have chosen The Way of Truth, I have set in me Your procedures,
I have held fast to Your Testimonies, Yâ-hwéh, do not let me be shamed,
I run the way of Your commandments because You have unconfined my heart! [Proverbs 18: 16, Galátas 4: 8-9]

H. Yâ-hwéh, point out “The Way” of Your charges and I will guard it with fidelity from supplanting;
Cause me to understand it and I will guard Your instructions with fidelity and I will keep it [“The Way”] with all my heart.
Cause me to tread in the Pathway of Your commands because I delight in it [the pathway (m.)].
Turn my heart towards Your Testimonies and not towards unjust gain.
Cause my eyes to pass by from regarding a useless thing, by Your Way make me alive!
Cause Your Saying to stand for Your servant (which is) for his reverence,
[to] cause my reproach which I dread to pass by because Your ordinances are beneficial ones.
Look! I have longed for Your charges [v. 138], make me alive with Your justification,

W. And let Your kindness come upon me, Yâ-hwéh, Your salvation according to Your Saying [Romans 10: 9-10],
so I can answer the one reproaching me a fact because I trust in Your Word,
and do not cause the Word of the Truth to be snatched away from my mouth [e.g. Chanówkh 69: 1-2] because I have waited in hope for Your rectitude,
so I will have kept Your instructions continuously for eternity and the Testimony,
so I walk about at large [unconfined] because I have diligently sought out Your charges, [Galátas 4: 8-9]
and I have dictated by Your Testimonies near kings and I have not been put to shame!
Thus I have delighted myself in Your commandments which I love,
and I have raised my palms towards Your commandments which I love when I studied Your charges. [v. 138]

Z. Remember Your Word for Your servant concerning Which You have made me wait in hope,
This my comfort during my affliction: that Saying of Yours which made me alive,
Insolent ones are they who have mocked the Testimony exceedingly, but from Your instructions I have not turned;
I remembered Your judgment-decisions from antiquity, Yâ-hwéh, and I comforted myself.
Burning rage had grasped me due to the criminals who forsake Your instructions,
praise-songs are what Your charges have meant for me in the house of my sojourning.
During the night I have remembered Your name, Yâ-hwéh, so I have kept Your instruction. [1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3: 23]
this [instruction] has become for me because I guard Your charges with fidelity!

CH. “My portion is Yâ-hwéh!”, I said, guarding Your instruction,
I have retained Your Face with all my heart; favor me according to Your Word, [compare Romans 1: 28]
I have reckoned Your Way so I have brought back my steps towards Your Testimonies:
I had hurried and I had not delayed to keep Your commandments,
the bindings for the criminals had involved me [Romans 4: 15, 5: 20, Galátas 3: 19, 4: 8-9], though Your instruction I had not forgotten,
At midnight I get up to give thanks to You about the procedures of Your justification.
I am a peer for everyone who revered You and the ones keeping Your charges. [v. 138]
Your kindness, Yâ-hwéh, has filled the earth: teach me Your prescriptions.

Ţ. Yâ-hwéh, You have worked goodness with Your servant, like [with] Your Word,
teach me goodness and cultivation and knowledge, because I have stood firm by Your commands.
Before I was afflicted, I was one going astray, but now I keep Your Word safely protected.
You are Goodness and the One doing goodness [MattithYâ´huw 19: 16-17, `Ivríym 9: 11], teach me Your prescriptions!
The insolent have spread a Lie about me, but I have with all my heart guarded Your charges with fidelity; [v. 138]
their heart is thick-headed like lard – I am who takes delight in Your instructions!
It was beneficial for me that I was afflicted [for His name 116: 10] in order that I would learn Your prescriptions:
the instructions of Your Mouth are better for me than thousands of gold or silver!

Y. Your hands are what made me so they have established me; give me understanding so I might learn Your commandments!
Ones fearing You are who regard me and they rejoice because I wait in hope for Your Word [the Anointed Yâhuwshúa`],
I recognize, Yâ-hwéh, that Your procedure is justified and [for] fidelity You afflicted me,
let Your kindness now become for my consoling according to Your Saying for Your servant,
let Your compassions come to me so I may live, because Your instructions are my delights.
Let the insolent ones be shamed because of a Lie: they made me crooked; but I am who did study into Your charges. [v. 138]
Let the ones revering You return to me, and the ones acknowledging Your Testimonies,
let my heart become intact by Your prescriptions in order that I may not be shamed.

K. My life (néphesh) has been made complete for Your deliverance, for Your Word I have waited in hope,
my vision source has been made complete for Your Saying, saying, “When will You console me?” [Yâhuwshúa` (Luwqá’ 2: 25)],
because I have become like a wineskin in the ice, I have not forgotten Your prescriptions.
How many remain of the days of Your servant? When will You execute for me the judgment-decision against the ones persecuting me?
They have concluded against me studies of transgressions which are not according to Your instructions, Yâ-hwéh,
every commandment of Yours of fidelity became a Lie [for which] they persecute me, help me,
because they have almost put an end to me on the earth, though I had not forsaken Your charges. [v. 138]
According to Your kindness, preserve me alive, so I may keep Your Testimony of Your Mouth preserved.

L. For an eternity Yâ-hwéh, Your Word has stationed Himself in the heavens,
Your fidelity is for generation after generation: You did set up the earth, and it stands.
of Your decisions they stand today like all the servants of Yours.
If Your instructions weren’t my delights, at that moment I would have perished by my affliction;
for eternity I will not forget Your charges because by them You have made me live.
I am Yours, save me, because I did carefully study Your charges! [v. 138]
The criminals have lain in wait for me to make me vanish; Your Testimonies I consider diligently:
I have discerned an end-point for all [the Law] to be accomplished: [Yâhuwchânâ´n’s Glad Tidings 19: 30] Your commandment is exceedingly unconfining! [1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3: 23]

M. How I love Your instruction, all day long it is the object of my study,
it [my study (v. 97)] has made me more wise of Your Testimony than my enemies because it [Your Testimony] is mine for eternity,
I have insight more than all of my teachers because Your commandments are the object of my study.
more diligent consideration I demonstrate than the elders, because I keep Your charges with fidelity; [v. 138]
from every path of evil I withhold my feet on account that I heed Your Word,
from Your rectitude I did not depart because You are Who taught me!
How agreeably smooth to my taste are Your sayings, more than honey to my mouth,
from Your charges [v. 138], I have been given understanding, therefore I have hated every path of the Lie,

N. Your Word is a Lamp for my foot and a Light for my pathway, [MattithYâ´huw 6: 22-23]
I took an oath and I fulfill it to faithfully keep the procedure of Your justification;
I shall assuredly be exceedingly afflicted, Yâ-hwéh, make me live like Your Word!
Accept now, Yâ-hwéh, the voluntary-offerings of my mouth [v. 106], and teach me Your rectitude,
my life (néphesh) is continually in Your palm, so I will not cease to care about Your instruction.
The criminals have devoted a bird-trap for me though I have not strayed from Your charges:
I have assumed possession of Your Testimonies for eternity because they are the joy of my heart,
I have reached out my heart to perform Your prescriptions for eternity, more than the supplanting…

Ç. …ambivalent ones [prescriptions] I hate, as it is Your instruction I love.
You are my Shelter and my Protection, I have waited in hope for Your Word.
Depart from me, ones causing evil, so I may keep the commandments of my mighty Ones! [Yâshâ´r 23: 38]
Support me according to Your fidelity and I shall live, and do not let me be put to shame due to my Hope,
sustain [it of] me so I shall be liberated and I shall study into Your prescriptions continually.
You regard with contempt all of the ones rebelling against Your prescriptions because the Lie is their treachery,
backsliders are the withdrawals of all of the criminals of the earth, therefore I love Your Testimonies, [125: 5, 1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 2: 19, 4: 1-3]
my flesh has bristled up from the dread of You, and from Your judgments have I stood in awe!
`. I have worked rectitude and justification, You will not let me rest for the ones pressuring me,
pledge Your servant for Goodness, do not let the insolent ones pressure me,
my eyes have been spent [looking] for Your deliverance, and for the Saying of Your justification; [Romans 10: 9-10]
work it [Your justification (v. 123)] with Your servant according to Your kindness, and teach me Your prescriptions,
I am Your ervant, cause me to discern Him so I may recognize Your Testimonies,
a time-period for Yâ-hwéh to work it is [when] they cause Your instructions to be made void [through their traditions (MattithYâ´huw 15: 6-9)]
therefore have I loved Your commandments more than gold and more than pure gold,
due to this, all of Your charges are all I esteem correct, every path of the Lie have I hated.

P. Testimonies of Yours are wonders, due to this my self (néphesh) has guarded them faithfully,
the entrance of Your Words is what illuminates, giving discernment for the naïve;
I have gaped open my mouth and I have gasped because I have longed for Your commandments,
turn and look towards me and show favor to me according to the legal privilege for the ones who love Your name!
Direct my footsteps with Your Saying [Romans 10: 9-10] and do not let any wicked trouble (lawlessness) get mastery within me,
ransom me from the extortion of man so I may keep Your charges, [v. 138]
shine Your Face on Your servant and teach me Your prescriptions;
rivulets of tears descend from my eyes over how they do not observe Your instructions,

TS. justified are You, Yâ-hwéh, and upright are Your judgments:
You have charged the justification of Your Testimonies and much fidelity!
My burning zeal has cut me off because my oppressors have ceased to care about Your Words,
Your Saying [Romans 10: 9-10] is being thoroughly tested and proven true and Your servant is who loves It.
I who am a small insignificant one and one who is despised, I do not forget Your charges. [v. 138]
Your justification is righteousness for eternity and Your instructions are true!
Straits and distress had found me, Your commandments are my delights,
the justification of Your Testimonies is for eternity: cause me to discern Him so I may live!
I have alled on You!Save me so I may keep Your Testimonies preserved!”
I have come to meet with the morning twilight and I’d cry for help for Your Word I have hoped for,
my eyes have encountered daybreak to study on Your Saying, [Romans 10: 9-10]
heed my voice according to Your kindness, Yâ-hwéh, according to Your procedure, make me alive!
Those who have pursued wicked schemes have approached, but they have distanced themselves from Your instructions,
near are You, Yâ-hwéh, and all of Your commandments are true.
Long ago I knew from Your Testimonies that You did establish them for eternity;

R. See my affliction and rescue me because I do not forget Your instruction,
argue my legal case, and act as a kinsman-Redeemer for Your Saying [Romans 10: 9-10], make me alive!
Distant from the criminals is salvation because they have not investigated Your prescriptions,
numerous are Your compassions, Yâ-hwéh; according to Your legal process, make me alive!
My persecutors are [also] numerous, and my oppressors! I have not turned aside from Your Testimonies,
I have seen the betrayers and I loathe that they have not retained Your Saying; [Romans 10: 9-10]
see it Yourself, because I do love Your charges, Yâ-hwéh; according to Your kindness, make me live!
The Head of Your Word is Truth [Yâhuwchânâ´n’s Glad Tidings 17: 17, 1 Qorinthíym 11: 3] and all the legal procedures of Your justification are for eternity,

S. rulers have pursued me undeservedly, but it is from Your Word my heart has been in awe, [MattithYâ´huw 10: 28]
I am the one who is rejoicing over Your Saying [Romans 10: 9-10], like one finding abundant plundered treasure; [MattithYâ´huw 11: 12, 13: 44]
the Lie have I hated and I have regarded it as an abomination: I love Your instruction!
Seven times in the day I boastfully praise You concerning the procedures of Your justification,
abundant shâlówm (peace, completeness, reconciliation) belongs to the ones loving Your instructions [1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 3: 23] so there is no means of stumbling for them,
I have been expectant for Your salvation, Yâ-hwéh, so I have accomplished Your commandments
having myself retained Your Testimonies, so I have loved them exceedingly;
I have retained Your charges and Your Testimonies because all of my ways are before You;

T. Let my ringing cry of entreaty approach before You, Yâ-hwéh: cause me to understand according to Your Word!
Let my supplication for favor enter before You, cause me to be snatched away like Your Saying; [Chanówkh 69: 1-2]
my speech will pour out praise-songs as You teach me Your prescriptions,
my language will testify Your Saying [Romans 10: 9-10] because all of Your commandments are righteous!
Let Your Hand become for my Helper because I choose Your charges,
I have longed for Your salvation, Yâ-hwéh, and Your instructions are my delights;
let my life (néphesh) live so it may boastfully praise You, and Your applications of justice are what will help me,
I have wandered off like a sheep astray; seek to secure Your servant because I have not forgotten Your commandments.

Both covenants old and new are procedures for His justification. He was the only One to fulfill the old covenant, making it His, and with His being justified, He extended us His new covenant.

Because it outlaws the Lie, prohibiting false names and false images and alterations of His name.

Q. I called out with all my heart,

“answer me, Yâ-hwéh; I did keep Your prescriptions,

False names or titles

Strong’s #6117 not #6118, a difference of mere vowel-pointing. The “more than” restored from LXX Strong’s #1223, “di”, which most likely reflects the scribal omission of an “מ”.

Masoretic has here Strong’s #7673, “cause to cease” which LXX read differently as #2803, “reckoned” but we read it as Strong’s #7729.

Logically, scripturally, this term got transposed with “commandments” in verse 99 at some point before the translation of LXX. And the reference to “it” as singular led us to correct it to singular.

Logically, scripturally, this term got transposed with “Testimonies” in verse 98 at some point before the translation of LXX.

LXX shows Strong’s #7140 was here, whereas Masoretic put #7008 “smoke”. As ice and smoke are methods of preservation, this is likely a scribal interpretative revision, but ice preserves the contents whereas smoke the bottle itself.

LXX shows here Greek Strong’s #1334, so this was originally Strong’s #3615, not #3738 “excavated”, mistaking an ל for an ר

LXX shows the term here was Strong’s #7881, not #7882 “pitfalls”, a difference of pointing שׂ as שׁ.

LXX shows a term usually translated as Strong’s #6588, פשע where a Masoretic scribe substituted #2086, “insolent ones”, possibly to attempt to make sense of their other two errors in this verse.

LXX shows no “me” here which the Masoretic changed this to “mocked me” and Testimony, Strong’s #5707, here again was mistakenly written as #5704 “even unto”, merely by a mistake in vowel-pointing, also misread in LXX.

In other words, “which You charged us”

Strong’s #6117 not #6118, a difference of mere vowel-pointing. The “from” restored from LXX, “dia”, which most likely reflects the scribal omission of an “מ”.

Strong’s #5707, here again mistakenly written as #5703 “ever, perpetuity”, merely by a mistake in vowel-pointing, also misread in LXX.

D. My life (néphesh) has cleaved to the dust: make me alive like Your Word!
I had declared my ways and You responded to me; teach me Your prescriptions,

LXX reveals Masoretic scribes inserted “according to” here, to promote legalism by misleading one to think His Word refers to commandments and not to Yâhuwshúa`’s name.

Masoretic substitutes here “Your sayings” but LXX uses the term used to translate Word, but the context of verse 9’s content settles this question.

Masoretic has here “keep watch of” (Strong’s#5341). This refers to those waiting for His Anointed, referred to here as Yâ-hwéh. The verse still applies to us awaiting His return.
