Psalms 37

1 A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.

22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell forevermore.

28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved forever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever.

30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

In CHRIST,
Garret

Luk 21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. 18 But there shall not a hair of your head perish. 19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

Thank you for giving the verses for the acrostic, I tried to copy your format but wasn't getting it done. I think we are supposed to read also from verse 34 to the end. Verses 7, 20, and 34, each standout because they have 3 stanza's or lines, and are given in the Companion Bible as:

Psalm 37
37:7.... Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him:
. . . . . . .Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,
. . . . . . .Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

13

37:20....But the wicked shall perish,
. . . . . . .And the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs:
. . . . . . .They shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

14

37:34....Wait on the LORD, and keep His way,
. . . . . . .And He shall exalt thee to inherit the land:
. . . . . . .When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

37:35....I have seen the wicked in great power,
. . . . . . . And spreading himself like a green bay tree.

37:36....Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not:
. . . . . . . Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37:37....Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright:
. . . . . . . For the end of that man is peace.

37:38....But the transgressors shall be destroyed together:
. . . . . . .The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

37:39....But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD:
. . . . . . . He is their strength in the time of trouble.

37:40

....And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them:
. . . . . . . He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them,
. . . . . . . Because they trust in Him.

Note also the 3 lines at the end. But this is not why I came here. It is because of what is between 7, 20, and 34, which would be 13, and 14. But not as such, but as 1,314' which is the amount Mt. St. Helens height was reduced by. Now why is this important? Because they are both end time events! One hand washes the other if you will!

We also just posted a thread in Watchman about Mt. St. Helens, how it is now going to sleep! And we are very anxious for it to wake up again.

Garret Thank You, for starting this thread.

i love the whole PSALM

So ...........

(after reading the whole psalm, i take in that hidden message)

posting as i do (i do one verse at a time)
to get that format in (it includes the hotlinks)

i copy and paste (one verse at a time)
-BACKWORDS / from the last verse to first verse (When i do).

- it takes time , but looks good.

can't copy it all at once (because of the hotlinks)
the format won't allow it to work properly.

Hello Everyone:
Wow! God's Holy Spirit is working overtime. I am utterly amazed at how God is revealing so much to His Children. This is a wonderful post and I have truly enjoyed reading it. May Father continue to bless you all. When He blesses you, He is blessing all who will take the time to read.
Thank you Garret, Scooter, and Tom for taking this time to share with us. It's a pleasure to see how God has worked in the lives of His children.
Agape,Your Sister in Christ, Emily

Wow! God's Holy Spirit is working overtime.

Well I couldn't agree with you more, but I feel maybe I need to furnish some more information as to why I feel the numbers 13 and 14 are so important. And mostly it is the number Thirteen, without it there would be no Fourteen. Many of us have Biblical Mathematics by Ed F.Vallowe and it is a very good study but it lacks the following for the number Thirteen. Fourteen is Deliverance or Salvation.

THE CONNECTION OF THE NUMBER THIRTEEN WITH

SUBSTITUTION AND ATONEMENT

The Saviour, though without sin, was "made sin," or a sin offering for His people. He was "wounded for our transgressions," and bruised for their iniquities. He was in fact, "NUMBERED WITH THE TRANSGRESSORS" (Isaiah 53:12).

Therefore this number is not only the all pervading factor of SIN, but also of sin's atonement. It is not only the number which brands the sinner as a rebel against God, but it is the number borne by the sinner's Substitute.

His very names in the Old Testament, before the work of Atonement was entered on or accomplished, are all multiples of 13, just as His names, afterwards in the New Testament and when the work of Atonement was carried out, are all multiples of 8. See these names on p. 204 (not incl.)

The Old Testament names are: -

Yehovah = 26 (13 x 2).

Adonai = 65 (13 x 5).

Ha-Elohim = 91 (13 x 7).

Messiah, as given in Psalm 2, a form in which it occurs 10 times,

"His Anointed" = 364 (13 x 18) the very number of Satan himself (Ha-Shatan).

But note here the marvellous combination of the other factors, 2, 5, and 7, the significance of which we need not dwell upon after all that we have said about them as indicating incarnation, grace, and spiritual perfection.

Truly, it is written, "Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree." Hence the numerical value of the very word ἀνάθεμα (anathema), curse, is 546 (13 x 42), and it occurs 6 times.

Genesis 4:4, which records the first type of this Lamb of God, the sinner's substitute, exhibits the number 13.

"And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and his offering."

The verse amounts to 2093 (13 x 160). *

Verse 7, where we have a further reference to this offering, = 5421 (13 x 3 x 139).

Abel suffered; Cain sinned; Seth was the substitute for Abel. Hence the three names are: -

Abel …. 37}

Cain … 160} = 897 (13 x 69).

Seth … 700}

Their whole history (Gen. 4:1 - 25) amounts to 76,882 (13 x 5914).

The above is quoted from; E.W. Bullinger's book "NUMBER in Scripture" and there are another 4 pages on this subject which also only covers a part of Leviticus 16. We hope this helps. 13 and 14 are very important from the begining, and to the end of this age.

The verse amounts to 2093 (13 x 160). Error in math should be, (13 x 161) * It is in my book wrong!

- The number 14 points to SALVATION

Number in Scripture Its Supernatural Design and Spiritual Significance by
E. W. Bullinger
(1837-1913)

PART II
ITS SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE

THIRTEEN

This number has been considered in connection with the number eight, to which the reader is referred (see pages 205-232).

ADDITIONAL MISCELLANEOUS ILLUSTRATIONS

Thirteen famines are recorded in the Scriptures:-

Genesis 12:10
Genesis 26:1
Genesis 41:54
Ruth 1:1
2 Samuel 21:1
1 Kings 18:1
2 Kings 4:38
2 Kings 7:4
2 Kings 25:3
Nehemiah 5:3
Jeremiah 14:1
Luke 15:14
Acts 11:28

FOURTEEN

being a multiple of seven, partakes of its significance; and, being double that number, implies a double measure of spiritual perfection.

The number two with which it is combined (2x7) may, however, bring its own significance into its meaning, as in Matthew 1, where the genealogy of Jesus Christ is divided up and given in sets of 14 (2x7) generations, two being the number associated with incarnation.

The same principle may be applied to other multiples of seven, and Bible students can find their own illustrations.

ADDITIONAL MISCELLANEOUS ILLUSTRATIONS

Fourteen times in the Book of Proverbs the expression occurs "the fear of the Lord":-Proverbs 1:7, 29, 2:5, 8:13, 9:10, 10:27, 14:26, 27, 15:16, 33, 16:6, 19:23, 22:4, 23:17.

Another wonderful Psalm

The 5th HalleluYah Psalm (...Deuteronomy)

Count the "Praise ye The LORD" ('s)
Notice how DIVERSE they are?

Praise ye THE LORD = 2
Praise GOD = 1
Praise HIM = 9
Praise THE LORD = 1

Psa 150:1

¶

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary:
praise him in the firmament of his power.

Psa 150:2

Praise him for his mighty acts:
praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Psa 150:3

Praise him with the sound of the trumpet:
praise him with the psaltery and harp.

Psa 150:4

Praise him with the timbrel and dance:
praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

Psa 150:5

Praise him upon the loud cymbals:
praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

Psa 150:6

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.

Praise ye the LORD.

From (the Companion Bible) / Appendixes

III. JAH is Jehovah in a special sense and relation.
Jehovah as having BECOME our Salvation
(first occ. Ex. 15:2), He Who IS, and WAS, and IS TO COME.
It occurs 49 times (7 x 7. See Ap. 10). Jah is indicated by type thus: Lord.

(.................&.................)

IV. EL is essentially the Almighty, thought the word is never so rendered
(see below, "Shaddai"). EL is Elohim in all His strength and power.
It is rendered "God" as Elohim is, but El is God the Omnipotent.
Elohim is God the Creator putting His omnipotence into operation.
Eloah (see below) is God Who wills and orders all, and Who is to be
the one object of the worship of His people. El is the God Who knows all
(first occ. Gen. 14:18:22) and sees all (Gen. 16:13) and that performeth all things
for His people (Ps. 57:2); and in Whom all the Divine attributes are concentrated.

El is indicated in this edition by type in large capital letters, thus: "GOD."
It is sometimes transliterated in proper names Immanue-'el, Beth-'el, &c.,
where it is translated, as explained in the margin.
