Spiritual Preparation for Rosh Ha’Shanah – PSALM 91:6-10 A Message from the King!

Previous Post: Elul… Day 6 – for Psalm 27 teaching.
Continuing in the Series….Psalm 91:6 KJV
Review this excerpt from Sefaria.com of Psalm 91:6-10 in the Aramaic.

We’re stripping the poetic mindset of this Psalm out of our minds. “The death that walks in darkness…” is not a poetic turn of phrase. Darkness, (mot) is one of the high ranking gods of the Canaanite pantheon.
Note that there is a conversation happening between King David (v1-8), his son Solomon (v9) and the LORD (v10). David is speaking and teaching how to operate in the spirit, and Solomon IMMEDIATELY APPLIES IT!
This is a very instructive moment!
This conversational nature of the psalm is missing in the KJV, which is an added element that I believe is essential for us to be aware of. I find it enlightening. I hope you do as well.
The Spirit of Darkness is the Spirit of Death
Darkness is not just the color, the form, or the feeling of night. Scripture is applying a euphemistic description of darkness to alert us to ‘a darkness that we can feel’, a darkness that contains a presence, a spirit of death.
Here’s what we need to understand and do: “YOU WILL INVOKE THE HOLY NAME!” (verse 7).
In the KJV we have the instructions. In the Aramaic we have an added instruction… “Invoke the Holy Name! That’s important to know, right?
Remember, Aramaic is spoken in the Temple. The Torah was taught in the Aramaic tongue for the masses – because it was the language of Jews in the 1st Century; the Temple language. When we read from the Aramaic, we’re basically hearing how the passages of scripture were taught.
Through the lens of the history, culture and times, we gain another perspective which can help us understand why the disciples of Yeshua were so effective in their ministries of healing and deliverance, casting out sickness and disease, etc. They had a different level of understanding about their declarations and decrees in the spirit.
Some of us are still trying to really tap in and believe that our words really have power in the spirit. Those that already receive that level of wisdom, need the next step – speaking from a place of faith-believing; filled with wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
Know what your saying and why…
In Aramaic (v10), we can see that GOD is confirming the words that King David is speaking and teaching. We aren’t seeing that in the KJV. In the Aramaic, we find there’s an immediate confirming Word.
Read verse 10 – as Your confirming Word – EVERY TIME YOU READ IT! We have to rehearse this NEW INFORMATION in our spirit until we automatically understand and apply it as we speak!
Make a note in your Bibles of the conversational nature of these passages. When you speak the Psalm, going forward, hear the conversation in your speech as you recite the words. This will shift your perspective greatly and add more power, presence and weight to what the Word is teaching us to speak.
Reciting the Psalms in English – consider that the beginning of wisdom. There’s more beneath the surface. You are no longer just reciting words… your speech will be laced with wisdom, knowledge and understanding!
This is Huge in the Realm of the Spirit!
It takes practice. It’s like learning the Psalm all over again. But, make the effort. This is the only way that you will know if any of these distinctions matter – When you see for yourself! Amen.
Don’t let the fleshly mind cause you to dismiss this. Let your spirit have a say so! Let your spirit lead in this conversation and see if these things be true! Amen.
For those of you who are ready for the next level… practice proclaiming Psalm 91 in the Hebrew language.
