851 views
We study together the 64th chapter of Tehillim, and focus in on the last passuk. Dovid Hamelech speaks of the great joy of the tzadik as he watches the downfall of his hidden enemies who try to covertly shoot their arrows at him - Hashem personally takes them down. This triumph is not only his, but belongs also to all of those who walk on the straight path.

you're listening to the 183rd edition of
the podcast and we're continuing inim
from we're in now in chapter
64 the last of the
chapter and the p
is let the righteous individual rejoice
in
God and trust in
him and all those who are straight of
heart
let them all not just the individual
sadic but anybody who sees the Salvation
let them all praise either praise the
pup praise Hashem or let them all praise
their own faith rejoice in their
faith before we actually get to the on
thek I'd like to share with
you um the whole par of before I do I
just want to mention that it is raining
out here and I am holding a an umbrella
as you might see so if it gets in the
shot
just uh
understand it's also why I'm a little
close to the camera because I'm trying
to protect myself and the camera from
the rain it's just a drizzle but we love
the rain here we rejoice in hashem's
Bounty so here's the
chapter to the conductor a song of King
David let God hear my voice as I speak
to him
let my in the fear of my enemy let my
life be
[Music]
protected protect me from the plans of
the evil ones
mayen from the thoughts and the and the
and
the from the thoughts and their plans of
those who do
evil they sharpen their tongues like a
they prepared their
arrows with uh with a very bitter word
meaning they say certain things in order
to hurt
me what they're trying to do they're
trying to cover up the fact that they're
rash that they're Wicked and the way
that they do that is by hiding
themselves
hiding their their true intentions
but what they plan to do is to shoot to
shoot their arrows at me at the innocent
one from
hiding they'll suddenly shoot at us and
we and there's not even a chance either
can mean we won't even know to be afraid
or we won't even be able to see
it and this reminds me very much of
what's going on here in Israel right now
where we're being shot
ATM has given us incredible wisdom that
we can know many times not always before
it happens but we can know that it's
being shot and we can be able to shoot
it
down they strengthen themselves to do
evil they speak of all of the traps that
they wish to set they say who's going to
even see it who will even notice it we
can we can get our enemies our enemies
say about us they can get
us they do all kinds of ways they they
keep uh masking themselves in mask after
mask in order to present themselves as
righteous it's hard to be able to tell
what's going on inside of their
hearts but Hashem strikes them suddenly
might be in helicopter that crash
might be through the wisdom of our own
Army our own intelligence to through
beepers but suddenly they get knocked
down their own
mouths give them away I'm thinking about
Biden and his own
fall the fall of the ran the fall of the
wicked his own mouth gave him away
everybody saw all of those who were
inclined perhaps to follow in the ways
of the wicked they saw they saw what
happened and they realized it's not a
good way to go and finally
our let the righteous individual rejoice
in God and trust in
him
call and let all those who are straight
of heart let them say praise let them
praise Hashem or let them praise their
own righteous
ways okay the Jal has stopped I'm going
to actually put down the
umbrella if need be we'll bring it back
those are the PIM in 70 the 64th chapter
of amazing
beautiful now I'd like to read to you
from the
MIM they explain like this
brings down
says this is a reference to Danel the
Prophet
Daniel in the Merit of the people of
Israel right we have two aspects here in
this P we have the individual righteous
individual thead who is trusting in hem
and then we have
the we have the praise of a greater
number of people all those who are
straight of heart so Mish understands
that there was aad which was
Daniel he was thrown into the the Lion's
Den but there were two there were two
parts to what happened there one is that
he was saved because of his own because
of his own trust in hem but also there
was a Salvation and there was a
rejoicing on the part of the Jewish
people generally
call you that's what it means when it
says in
the the righteous individual rejoices in
hm and he trusts in him and then all of
those who are straight of heart also
give
praise says as
follows right we're speaking in in this
peric about the evil ones the wicked and
how they cover up their true intentions
and they're ready to shoot at the right
individual in the dark in in a place
where they won't be seen but they
ultimately fall Hashem brings them down
we need not be
afraid so the righteous individual is
excited he's joyous as the wicked ones
fall an amazing thing is that the evil
individual the wicked individual causes
his own downfall through his own
speech why do our enem enemies need to
speak so much about how they want to
destroy the Jewish people how they want
to they have all of these weapons ready
to
go their own speech is what causes their
own
downfall and so that's a tremendous joy
for for the to
see a lot of times when we're doing
what's right it seems like we might not
be successful as a result those who are
evil seem to be winning
But
ultimately when we see the downfall of
the wicked so it gives us gives us a
boost in our we can trust hm
more and all of those who are righteous
of heart straight of heart they can
Rejoice they can praise their
straightness right now that we see that
it worked out they can
say so if this Revenge
if really the word revenge is an
interesting word but it's a revelation
of truth it's it's Vengeance it's mid
it's measure for
measure if this was done by Hashem on
behalf of the righteous individual
K soem certainly if it's done for an
individual says certainly it's going to
be done for all of us as a nation
because as a nation hasm always looks at
us generally as we saw previously
generally hasm looks at the rim with a
more sympathetic
eye says
the the says he trusts in
him again our our is strengthened when
we
see that Hashem brings about vengeance
for us upon our enemies
that strengthens and helps us know that
hm is taking care of us it's going to
work out in the end all those who
threaten us they fall they fall and it's
going to continue as we
rise they fall
down the evil ones fall down
say right the the righteous individual
says he rejoices in God it means he
rejoices in the salvation of
God and he Trust
and when the person sees hm's salvation
so it encourages him to trust in hm
always and there's a certain sense of
satisfaction when we realize that Hashem
is is the God we we re we we had that
recognition we realize that everything
that's going on in the world is from him
and there's there's a feeling of joy and
and praise praise of God and praise of
our our own ASU how lucky we are that we
had this
Insight
says I already explained to you
the sometimes hem brings difficulties
and challenges upon the
righteous so that they will strengthen
their belief in Hashem after they get
out of the situation of Oppression of
difficulty that's why our P
says he will
rejoice he will rejoice because he's
going to get out from Darkness to great
light and from then on will trust in him
more I'm sorry the sadic will trust in
hasem more
and those who are straight of heart
those who have chosen and continue to
try to choose to do the will of Hashem
so
they will be praised or they will praise
themselves or they will praise Hashem
because Hashem recognizes or Hashem will
praise them right because because Hashem
sees the hearts of the
righteous and that's what he wants
that's what's desired by
him says
the we said that after brings about the
downfall of the wicked so the wicked
have their all of their kinds of plans
that they wish to do but in the end
Hashem instead of the wicked being able
to shoot their arrows at the righteous
Hashem shoots as it were his Arrow at
the wicked right and then everybody sees
even those who thought in their mind
perhaps I should be wicked as well maybe
I can get away with doing wrong things
so they have a change of
heart they're afraid says the they're
afraid now to do their evil ways like
the evil ways of their
wicked they'll tell each other what we
see is that Hashem the way that he be
that interacts with humans is measure
for measure it's not worth
it they were able to recognize in every
Matter's
ways to protect themselves from God's
retribution just like hem did with these
Wicked people I don't want to be the
recipient of that kind of negative
result
now it's it's better okay that's that's
a certain positive thing that comes out
of the fall of the of the wicked and
that is that the other people who might
have done something wrong may also
repent because of their fear but the
sadic is on a higher level because the
sadic the righteous
individual way back when there was no
you know he didn't cross his mind that
he should do something wrong and
therefore and and not only didn't it
cross his mind but he also doesn't
challenge the fact that it seems like
those who are wicked maybe they're doing
things in a way which makes them look
righteous but he knows what's going on
the sadic doesn't challenge the fact
that why is hashm allowing this person
to get away with it so to speak why do
they seem to succeed
you to him love he's not waiting for
them to get paid back the sadic doesn't
doesn't think in his mind well where's
where's Justice that's not going
on he trusts in hm because hhm is
trustworthy thead knows that it's going
to work out in a way that all of those
who are rightous of heart straight of
heart will praise him
these are the people who they are
straight of heart it means that these
are the people who if somebody seems to
be getting away with it things seem to
be going well for the wicked it doesn't
bother them they don't think about it
they're not worried about the wicked who
have good in this
world they know that hem doesn't give up
when a person has done something wrong
they're going to get paid off for that
they're going to get paid back
and those who are straight of heart also
know that they're going to receive their
just reward for not
questioning so this is the aspect of of
the payment the the I'm sorry the
praise of all of those who are straight
of heart for this very for this very
aspect
we're so lucky the righteous will say we
didn't we didn't question God so lucky
we didn't question God because we see in
the end everything worked out correctly
everything worked out as it's meant to
Hashem is righteous there's nothing to
be worried about there was nothing to be
worried about and that's an incredible
feeling of
satisfaction he brings here a beautiful
beautiful piece from
short a short uh paragraph about a hasem
about loving Hashem our relationship
with God our love for
God person should make his soul hang
upon God's love should feel like this is
this is what my spirituality is about
loving
Hashem when a person should trust in
God's compassion
and is in these are a few different
words for compassion and and and and
mercy when a person has a feeling of
Love forem be careful not to mix it up
with a love for anybody else or anything
else and when you have a fear of hem you
have a sense of a of hem don't allow
that awe to be mixed up with awe and
fear for anybody or anything
else never allow to be out of your
thoughts and let not be removed from in
front of your
eyes
yet let Hashem be your company when
you're all alone you're sitting out on
the
mountain sense that Hashem remember that
Hashem is there with you
sit with you in the
wilderness and if you're in a very
inhabited place where there's lots of
people let it be like there's nobody
there just you and
Hashem
re and if there's nobody there let it be
not empty let it be like again is with
you don't be afraid when nobody's there
with you and don't don't worried when
they're not there don't be don't be
overwhelmed by a large amount of people
and don't be worried when there's nobody
there with
you always be joyous with hm your
God rejoicing in your
creator joyous in his will and Desiring
to have a have an interaction with
him like our says
let the sadic rejoice in God and put
one's one's faith in
him okay two more small pieces and then
we'll
end when hasem saved Daniel from the
mouth of the Lions everybody was able to
see everyone was able to know and they
were able to trust in hem the the
righteous
the righteous individual and all those
who see his salvation they Rejoice
because they know they have upon whom to
rely and all those who are straight of
heart will praise
Hashem last thing from the
Mal there's a great joy for the
righteous individual when he does that
which is
right and he trusts him
because he sees that hem saves those who
trust
him and
those and and those who are straight of
of heart they will be praised in this
that they serve Hashem and the fact that
they are saved a person feels an
incredible satisfaction as as we keep
saying by the fact that I trusted in
Hashem and I was
saved and they praise hashem's name
thank you so much for listening we'll
see you again next time
