Psalms 67 TLV

Let All Peoples Praise You

Psalm 67

For the music director, with stringed instruments, a psalm, a song.
May God be gracious to us and bless us.
May He cause His face to shine upon us—Selah
so that Your way may be known on earth,
and Your salvation among all nations.
Let the peoples praise You, O God.
Let all the peoples praise You.
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for You will judge the peoples fairly,
and guide the nations on the earth. Selah
Let the peoples praise You, O God.
Let all the peoples praise You.
The earth has yielded its harvest—
God, our God will bless us.
God will bless us,
and all the ends of the earth will fear Him.

YHWH/Yeshua/Torah: Our spiritual transformation 49th word for reflection from Psalm 67 is אֹ֝תֹ֗ו (o’toe). This pronoun is translated as “him” in v. 8. The psalmist prays that ALL the people of the earth will fear HIM!  Yeshua means YHWH is Salvation. Psalm 67 is also recited daily because it is composed of exactly 49 Hebrew words, which correspond to the 49 days of the Omer count. The Psalm is seasonally appropriate because of its harvest motif. It is spiritually appropriate because it speaks clearly of God’s salvation (Yeshua) being made known over all the earth.

That’s the last word! 49th!! HIM — KING YESHUA reigns eternity of eternities! It’s all about HIM! The last 49 days were all about HIM!!! This season is all about HIM! Our lives are all about HIM!  Excellent article: Yeshua Himself Light

By Rabbi Simon Jacobson    DAY 29    CHESED OF HOD: Lovingkindness in Humility
Saturday evening, May 14  we count twenty-nine days of the Omer.
Examine the love in your humility. Healthy humility is not demoralizing; it brings love and joy, not fear. Humility that lacks love has to be reexamined for its authenticity. Sometimes humility can be confused with low self-esteem, which would cause it to be unloving. Humility brings love because it gives you the ability to rise above yourself and love another. Does my humility cause me to be more loving and giving? More expansive? Or does it inhibit and constrain me? Am I humble and happy or humble and miserable?

Exercise for the day: Before praying with humility and acknowledgment of G-d, give some charity. It will enhance your prayers.
