This week’s study is from Tehillim / Psalms 34:1-22, the opening verses states א לְדָוִד בְּשַׁנּוֹתוֹ אֶת-טַעְמוֹ לִפְנֵי אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וַיְגָרְשֵׁהוּ וַיֵּלַךְ: Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left. (NASB) providing the context for Tehillim / Psalms 34. David praises the Lord saying ב אֲבָרֲכָה אֶת-יְהֹוָה בְּכָל-עֵת תָּמִיד תְּהִלָּתוֹ בְּפִי: ג בַּיהֹוָה תִּתְהַלֵּל נַפְשִׁי יִשְׁמְעוּ עֲנָוִים וְיִשְֹמָחוּ: ד גַּדְּלוּ לַיהֹוָה אִתִּי וּנְרוֹמְמָה שְׁמוֹ יַחְדָּו: 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 34:2 My soul will make its boast in the Lord; The humble will hear it and rejoice. 34:3 O magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together. (NASB) He says the reason for the praise that he gives to the Lord is ה דָּרַשְׁתִּי אֶת-יְהֹוָה וְעָנָנִי וּמִכָּל-מְגוּרוֹתַי הִצִּילָנִי: ו הִבִּיטוּ אֵלָיו וְנָהָרוּ וּפְנֵיהֶם אַל-יֶחְפָּרוּ: ז זֶה עָנִי קָרָא וַיהֹוָה שָׁמֵעַ וּמִכָּל-צָרוֹתָיו הוֹשִׁיעוֹ: 34:4 I sought the Lord, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. 34:5 They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be ashamed. 34:6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him And saved him out of all his troubles. (NASB) The kind of answer and deliverance is based upon the Lord encamping around those who fear Him (Tehillim / Psalms 34:7, ח חֹנֶה מַלְאַךְ-יְהֹוָה סָבִיב לִירֵאָיו וַיְחַלְּצֵם:).
