RR Psalm 35:19,20,21 Part 12
Shalom {{firstName}},
Will you join me and our governor in praying for Tennessee on September 12th? Here is a link to the details. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DObAdrsDNnk/?igsh=MW82d3B5MXYzbTF6bw==
Rabbi Trail: “Tennessee” sounds like a Hebrew word that means “try it out,” like test driving a car. It is also a “sound alike” for two Hebrew words “Ten Nassi,” meaning “give my miracle.” In proper Hebrew, it would be “Ten Li Nassi” or “give to me my miracle.” I prefer that to “try it out.” End RT.

Psalm 35:19 Do not let my deceitful enemies gloat over me without cause, nor let those who hate me for nothing wink an eye. 20 For they never speak shalom, but devise deceitful words against the quiet ones in the land. 21 Yes, they open their mouth wide against me, saying: “Aha! Aha! Our own eyes have seen it!”
Oy Vey! Of course you’ve heard this Yiddish expression of exasperation before. “Oy Vey!” Is actually a single Hebrew word meaning, “my enemies.” When used properly, it can mean, “Oh my, my enemies have made this happen to me.” These three verses are a reprise of many verses that have gone before, and that will follow (in other Psalms not yet studied), but especially in previous verses 10 thru 17.
One of several story lines throughout Scripture is right verses wrong, good verses evil, light verses dark, and holy (separate) verses profane (common). The righteous Psalmist declares, “They, my deceitful enemies, are against me.” He then implores the righteous judge not to allow this injustice to continue.
But continue it must, but hopefully, in the darkness of injustice, we will by the grace of God, appreciate the brightness of the righteousness of God. The truth is that we are all guilty, guilty of unrighteousness. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Unless we acknowledge our own sin, we don’t even know we need the savior.
Isaiah 12:2 “Behold, God is my salvation! I will trust and will not be afraid. For the Lord Adonai is my strength and my song. He also has become my salvation.”
This raises the question asked by the disciples… Matthew 19:25b “Then who can be saved?” Peter answers, Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh, said to them,… 11 This Yeshua is ‘the stone—rejected by you, the builders—that has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved!”
That sounds like “THE” good news to me. Shalom shalom.
