Psalm 119:60-62 Amplified Bible [i]
Vs 60 I made haste and delayed not to
keep your commandments
Vs.61 Though the cords of the wicked
have enclosed and ensnared me; I have not forgotten your law.
Vs.62 At midnight I will rise to give
thanks to You because of Your righteouse ordinances.
Quote Of The Day:
Daniel
Juster – “Jewish Roots”
“It is no
accident or mistake that the synagogue has given special recognition to the
Torah, the first five books of Moses.
Some wrongly believe that the synagogue greatly depreciates the rest of
the Bible. This is not the case, rather
the early Jewish community properly sensed the foundational nature of the
Torah.”
Deborah’s Drash Commentary:
In Your Midnight Hour He Will put a song in your heart
Gleanings From Psalm 119
Vs.61 Though the cords of the wicked
have enclosed and ensnared me; I have not forgotten your law.
Vs.62 At midnight I will rise to give
thanks to You because of Your righteous ordinances.
When persecution and distress arise, so should the
Word arise out of our lips. When Paul
and Silas were thrown into the deepest darkest dungeon they knew the secret of
freedom, the Word was upon their lips, they did not forget His Word but gave
thanks at their midnight hour. What were
these Messianic Jewish believers praying?
What songs were these Messianic Jewish believers singing? The prayers and songs from His Word, the
Tenack/Old Testament and His Torah, what else!
Acts
16: 23-26
After giving them a severe beating, they threw them in
prison, charging the jailer to guard them securely. 24 Upon
receiving such an order, he threw them into the inner cell and clamped their
feet securely between heavy blocks of wood.
25 Around midnight, Sha’ul and
Sila were praying and singing hymns to God, while the other prisoners listened
attentively. 26 Suddenly there was a violent earthquake which shook
the prison to its foundations. All the doors flew open and everyone’s chains
came loose.
He will
put a song in your heart in the Midnight Hour
10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and
his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that
is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Isaiah 42:10 (KJV)
1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a
joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the
timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Psalms 81:1-2 (KJV)
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even
praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the
LORD.
Psalms 40:3 (KJV)
His Word strengthens us and gives us courage. We need to take courage from His word.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and
of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy
God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Josh 1:9 (KJV)
10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat
the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is
prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye
sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
Neh 8:10 (KJV)
The Word
is our light in the darkness
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it
is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer
than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at
hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the
armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not
in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and
envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Romans 13:11-14 (KJV)
This is where the sacrifice of praise comes in, when
we do not feel like praising Him, that is when we need to praise Him the
most. It is very easy in the days we
live in to become depressed by the wickedness that is going on around us. That is when we need to remember His Word,
for it is His word that gives us hope, that gives us strength that has the
power to blow off the chains of the wicked that would try to keep us in
bondage.
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD
from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall
come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against
him.
Isaiah 59:19 (KJV)
A Minister I heard teach was sharing
how she was learning Hebrew from a
Rabbi who gave her a wonderful insight into this verse. The Rabbi said that the
comma is placed wrongly in the King James Version that it should read this way.
When the enemy shall come, like a flood
the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up standard against him.
When I read the verse this way I
picture Pharaoh’s army coming after Israel as they were crossing the Red Sea,
and just when it seemed like the enemy was going to overtake them, the Lord
caused to Red Sea to close up and like a flood covered the pursuing army and
the enemy was defeated.
Remember His Torah/Word is the standard
that we need to use against the enemy to defeat Him in the power of the Ruach
Ha Kodesh.
When the enemy shall come, like a flood
the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up standard against him.
Isaia 59:19b
