759 views
We continue our study together in chapter 71 of Tehillim passuk 7. Dovid Hamelech - the anointed of Hashem - speaks of the fact that he is a symbol of the way Hashem deals with those who trust in Him. He asks that Hashem always give him strength and success, even as he gets old and his natural strength wanes - so that all will see and take to heart that Hashem is the strength behind all his successes.

you're listening to the 189th edition of
the B
podcast and we're continuing in the next
p which is
in
per
71:7 and it continues from the last week
last week we spoke about and the pre
week before we spoke about
how recalls the level of his and his
sense of trust in hem all the way back
from when he was a youth child a fetus
just
born the says and I'd like to actually
read a little bit further not just this
pic but the pic says that he saw himself
saw himself as a sign for everybody he
was the the interaction that hem would
have with David represented the way that
Hashem deals and hasem interacts with
the sadik the righteous those who trust
in
him you were my
powerful place of strength the place
where I knew I could trust and we're
going to discuss this P but first I just
want to read a few
more says King David my mouth will be
filled with your praise
AEM all of the day with your
Splendor then says and we'll get to this
a little bit later on the podcast this
but it
says don't throw me away when I'm
old don't send me away from
you when I have no power
anymore don't abandon
me my enemies said to
me and those who are trying to wait to
kill my soul to take away my soul
they're
all uh gathering together to plan their
plans
they say that God has abandoned
him grab him run after him right now
there's no one to save
him says my God please don't dist
distance yourself from
me God come to my Aid and the continue
on he repeats this theme of even when
I'm old and I don't have the power let
it not seem like as we'll see together
but let it not seem like the only reason
I was successful in the past to thwart
my enemies was because of my power I
don't want it to look like that I want
it to be clear that it's you I
want I want to be a
symbol for the many those who trust you
those who wish to trust you hasm I want
to be a
symbol that you're
Dependable says
theot here is what is the symbol the
sign the wonder that I
am King David says because I trusted in
you and you held me up I leaned on you
and you held me you made it clear that I
could depend on
you SOB Ezra says I was a symbol for the
many for the General populace who didn't
believe in you right
because can serve as a symbol and as an
encouragement to those who do believe in
Hashem to know that those who believe in
Hashem and depend on him hm will take
care of them but also beyond that says I
had an impact on those who didn't
believe in you in the first place now
they knew to learn now they could
learn that there is upon whom to
rely says
the you were
the strength you were the one who I knew
I could depend upon for
strength because even though says the
Rak I was running away because of my sin
because of the punishment of my sins I
knew it was my
fault you are still the one who I depend
upon and know I can have strength
because you're going to bring me back to
my malus you're going to bring back King
David to his King kingship right d many
times in his
lifetime was chased after first by
eventually by his own son of
Shalom and uh he had to run away from
the palace but he says I always trust in
you and I'm going to come back going to
bring me back to my rightful place
says I was a symbol for the public that
they wondered about
me people looked at me says I had so
many troubles so many difficulties so
many
tribulations and yet I continue to
survive and thrive
different things that have occurred to
me and yet you are my
strength you protect me with incredible
power and you save me from all of them
all of the challenges all the
difficulties everything that I go
through you hasem save
me says the
AL so he brings another dimension of it
besides for the fact that D is saying
that all my challenges and difficulties
you helped me and you saved me from but
there's another aspect going back to my
birth which was that I shouldn't have
been
born there wasn't any allotted time for
me there wasn't a chance that I would be
born the the as a
fetus should have died within his
mother's womb
I should have fallen I should have been
a
miscarriage I didn't even have any a
lotted days for my
life SES tell us that tells that there's
a person who's not going to be born
there's no days for him to be to live
there's no lot of
time Adam gave him the last 70 years of
his life Adam lived to be 9 30 that
would liveed to be 70 together it's a
thousand we're supposed to live to be a
thousand but it was a ace it was a
miracle and then after I was already
born you saved me from so many
difficulties so many times I was chased
so many fears of
death to the point that even if I would
have have had thousands and tens of
thousands of
merits they would have been completely
used up if I would have to depend on my
own merits on my
own on the mitzah that I've done on the
accomplishments that I have on the good
deeds those would have gotten used
up the him because I was a symbol to the
many to the multitudes
King David is saying I didn't deserve to
live I didn't deserve to survive I
didn't deserve to have good things
happen to me in my life I didn't deserve
to escape from my enemies who wanted to
destroy me it was all just a miracle it
was all just a miracle and that's a
symbol that's a sign for the world the
this this is a symbolic way that hasem
taught the world that human beings don't
deserve to have
life we defy
Hashem we what do we deserve what can we
earn what can we say how can we be found
righteous in front of
hem but nevertheless Hashem watches over
human beings and he cares about us he
does good for
us and King David says he continued to
cause me to allow me to exist and not by
my own
Merit only in order to show his his
Divine
Providence says the
may we said earlier that depended on hem
from the time he was in his mother's
womb he's mentioning that which our
sages tell us in
the he's reminded of the fact that there
are incredible Miracles that hasem does
for a baby for a fetus inside of the
mother's
womb because really you should just fall
right
out fall right out the opening but he
doesn't who holds him
in that's one of the Miracles of the
human
existence we don't fall out when we're
developing inside of our mother's
womb it's in your power Hashem to to
bring about amazing powerful
results and I am a symbol of this
and this is the idea where is saying I
was a symbol for everyone that you are
the one who has all the
power my mouth is going to be filled
with your
Praises I recognize that everything is
from
you and therefore my mouth is full with
your Praises I'm constantly saying over
your
Praises that you are the one who gives
me strength you protect me you provide
for me i' like to mention it's kanuka
right now as I'm saying this you might
be listening to this
and is all about thanking AEM and
praising
AEM and it could be for a
miracle the salvations but could also be
for the simple things the fact that I
made it here as is telling us I'm
thanking hem and I'm recognizing I'm
recognizing means gratitude it means
recognizing the good it's been there all
along Hashem is helping us protecting us
taking care of us sometimes in a
miraculous way and sometimes in a
natural way but even the natural ways
are
miraculous says the
iitz right like we saw last
week he was the most hated of all the
kids he was left by his father and
mother he was the least important of
them
all like we're saying in
Hollow the
stone that was found to be disgusting by
the builders became the Cornerstone
speaking of himself
us this is from hasem it's an
unbelievable
thing fulfills
this Hashem proves this Hashem shows by
choosing
David that he although he was rejected
is the chosen one
all of this is so that I should be
filled with the Praises of
God like we said in the
next here he brings the
Mal I know that I could trust in you I
trusted in you in the past you took care
of me
before not just when I was young
not just when I was a young person but
even before I was
born not only that you took me out of my
mother's
womb and it means to say every single
thing I have in my life fact that I
exist fact that I continue to exist the
fact that I go from one stage to another
it's through you it's
you this is what it means
my
praise is in is for you
constantly I'm only praising you not
praising anybody else anything
else so because of the fact that I'm the
one depending on you Hashem and because
of the fact that I'm not depending on
anybody else so if you don't take care
of me people will say that can't do it
and
therefore the general populace when they
saw me they saw something
unbelievable they saw an incredible
sign my power My Success is not
something natural It's
Supernatural it's beyond anything that
can be
imagined You Are My Strength my mouth
will praise you
my mouth was fulled of your
praise my strength doesn't come from me
it's you hasem it's only you the power
is
yours I did not give any praise to
myself anything that I accomplished I
said it's only you Hashem it's only your
accomplishment
like we read at the beginning that's
says don't send me away when I get old
don't throw me
away I'm not going to have any strength
left when I get old that's the that's
the nature of the human being when he
gets old he has no no strength left
and if when I get
old I have no more strength I have no
more
success so then it will look like what
was going on all along was just me my
natural human strength my natural human
ability but if Hashem you still protect
me take care of me when I'm old so it
will
prove
retroactively that everything that I did
everything that I accomplished
was all only because of you if even when
I'm old I don't have the power I don't
have the drive I don't have the strength
still hasem you take care of me so it
proves that all along it was you doing
it no one will make any mistake and
think that I did it all by
myself says the
is speaking about the fact that he wants
to be able to take away the power from
asov he wants the asov is the one who
with his with his strength of his
hands the strength of the hands of asov
he wants to control the world the
West America's incoming
president power strength
businessman I can accomplish I can use
my power and my
ability DAV says
look take away the power from asov let
asov not have that power let of not be
representative of how you succeed in the
world let me be the example of what
succeeds in the world the spiritual path
You Are My Strength you are the
protector the strong
protector you promised me and you
said like we saw previously as long as
the voice is the voice of
Jacob in the study
hall in the besses in the Sho in the
synagogue as long as we're praying as
long as we're
learning and the as shus be so then the
hands of as don't have power over
me there can't be any destruction of am
Israel in any way in any shape when we
are attached to Ty we are using our
voices to sing the sweet song of Tyra to
sing the sweet song of
prayers you are my protor You Are My
Strength the word o which means
strength only refers to T the strength
that we have when we fulfill the
T God gives strength to this nation what
is the strength that hasem gives to us
where is our strength what is our power
our power is our T power is the yes
sitting and learning power is the
sitting and learning our power is me and
you studying
together trying to understand how we can
depend
on and come close

strength one who gives the Tyra thank
