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.

A Message from the King!

Review this excerpt from Sefaria.com of Psalm 91:1-6

Remember: Aramaic was the common language of the Jews in the 1st Century. As a consequence of their captivity in Babylon for so many years, the majority of the people spoke Aramaic. Hebrew was the language of the Temple (Priesthood, Scribes, Pharisees, Rabbi’s, etc).

The Aramaic translation is important for us to hear because it provides us insight into the 1st Century teachings of the passages. Listen to the 1st six verses of the Psalm from the Aramaic translation. Listen in and see how the language makes it abundantly clar that this Psalm was written for the express purposes of teaching Solomon and the people of GOD how to overcome demonic forces.

Let’s Listen in…

While the KJV is our primary (and much needful) source of translation, the Aramaic makes it plain that this Psalm was written to exorcise demonic forces. The Aramaic sets aside the prose of King James and firmly sets our boots on the ground so that we can know exactly what GOD is saying to us through King David and the message that David is transmitting down through the generations through his son.

Understanding the ORIGINAL languages is paramount to understanding scripture. For all of those seeking greater revelation wisdom and understanding, an English ONLY perspective from the Western lens and perspective of scripture will not suffice any longer.

We have to go deeper.

Many of us know Psalm 91 by heart. However, we know the surface level prose of Psalm 91. This special series of teachings on Psalm 91 is for the purpose of getting you past the literary prose and into the prophetic power of the passages.

Proclaiming Psalm 91 from a position of wisdom, knowledge and understanding strengthens the position from which you speak in the spirit realm. You are gaining a deeper level of knowledge behind the words and that fortifies your position and authority from which you are able to speak.

When you shift into the place of your authority, your words carry more weight!

IN THE FIRST 6 VERSES… King David is decreeing and declaring whose Name, power and authority he is speaking in (and teaching us to do the same). He is identifying the enemy and how the enemy operates. Where the KJV gives us a poetic description of what they do, in the Aramaic King David is naming names and providing confirmation of how they operate in our realm.

King David is instructing his son (and all of us) to stay under the shelter of GOD, under His Wings – don’t let anything separate you from the anointing of GOD! We can all be confident in His truth and faithfulness; TRUST HIM, more than anything you trust in the natural. Trust GOD.

This is a King, carrying a message containing everything that he has learned from the King of Kings, speaking to the soon to be King, His son, and his Kingdom.

Study these passages and learn these precepts sent by the King.

For those of you who are ready for the next level… practice proclaiming Psalm 91 in the Hebrew language.

Spiritual Preparation for Rosh Ha’Shanah – Psalm 27 – Septuagint Version

 Sir Lancelot Charles Lee Brenton’s translation of the Septuagint into English was first published in 1844 and then revised and republished in 1851. This translation, based primarily on the Codex Vaticanus, has remained a long-time standard for the Septuagint and is now in the public domain.

As we continue praying Psalm 27 during the month of Elul, allowing its words to minister unto us, meditate on your consecration to the LORD this year.

What challenges do you want to take on this new season for the LORD?

What do you want GOD to do for you this year?

Is there a new anointing that you are asking for?

A few insights on Psalm 27 (KJV) as you focus on this prayer each day in the Month of Elul.

DAY 4 = Sundown, Wednesday, August 27th through Thursday, August 28th

Psalm 91:4 KJV

The ‘buckler’ moves with you wherever you go. It’s your perpetual impregnable covering to all those who dwelling under the shelter of the Most High!

In English ears, these phrases don’t sound like names to us, just poetic imagery. In Hebrew, they are not just imagery and descriptions. They are the names of the gods of the Canannite Pantheon that was coming against them.

SETTING THE TONE FOR YOUR NEW YEAR….

Keeping the paper work on our Spiritual Workdays…

Write the Vision for 2026. You have to use your voice and your pen to decree and declare a thing, right?
