Transcript of this segment

In Psalm 119, King David writes about the importance of God's word and the Torah, highlighting the richness and depth of each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The section of Psalm 119 that corresponds to the letter Nun is particularly beautiful, as it speaks of God's word being a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. King David swears to keep God's righteous judgments and asks for revival according to God's word. He also speaks of the wicked laying a snare for him, but he has not strayed from God's precepts.

The numerical value of the letter Nun is 50, which represents freedom, liberty, and jubilee. This is reflected in the passage from Psalm 119, where King David speaks of God's testimonies being his heritage forever. The letter Nun is a powerful reminder of the importance of humility, faithfulness, and obedience to God's will and purpose. As we journey through our spiritual purification, we can learn from the example of Yeshua, who was bent in submission to God's will and was later exalted as a righteous king.

For they are the rejoicing of King David's heart. I have inclined my heart to perform your statutes. How long? Till the first coming? No. Till the second coming? No. Forever. To the very end. Amen. Amen. And amen.

My friends, this is one of the most beautiful sections in the Psalms, including Psalm 119, which King David wrote about the letter Nun. He also goes back into the Torah, the instructions of Yah. Many of us claim to follow King David's example, saying, "Your word of God is a lamp to my path." However, how many of us actually live by these words? How many of us say, "I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep your righteous judgment"? How many of us pray, "Oh, Adonai, teach me your judgments"? How many of us can say, "My life is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget your Torah"?

The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I will not stray from your precepts. Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of King David's heart, a man after God's own heart. I have inclined my heart to perform your statutes forever to the very end. These are the convictions that we must have, as written by King David. If people could take Psalm 119:105-112 and truly meditate on it, they would see that he confirms every single thing in the Torah.

King David talks about the word of God, the judgments, the offerings, the statutes, the law itself, and the testimonies. He goes through every bit of the Torah, saying, "Don't let me ever forget this. I will do this forever because it's the rejoicing of King David's heart." We must take this in context, understanding that no one, including Paul, would come against King David's words. Yeshua will confirm what King David said, as he is a prototype of Yeshua.
