The Psalm Project: Psalm 5

by | Oct 1, 2021

Adapted from a Mizmor of David (Psalm 5)

 

Preeminent Musician,

Superintendent of Temple Services:

To be performed on the woodwind instrument (flute)

To the Melody “Behold the Divided Inheritance”

 

Hearken to my words.

Listen,

O, AHAYAH, Self-Existent, Eternal One,

Consider diligently

My murmuring,

My whispered complaint.

Incline Your ears

Unto my voice,

Unto the sound of my cry!

Melek! King and Messenger!

 

I will set my thoughts in order,

I will array myself in battle gear,

Door keeper, Strong Leader,

Keep watch for me.

 

O, ALOHIM, Strong Leader,

Toward You

Do I make supplication.

Hear me.

Consider my meditations;

Incline Your attention.

Mark well

The cry—shevah

The sound of the woodwind,

The song of my heart.

For unto You,

Melek ALOHIM,

Strong Leader,

I do pray.

YAHUAH,

When night ends

And sunrise brings bright joy,

Grant my request.

Hear with interest

My voice as it breaks

At the coming of daylight.

 

Strong Leader,

You do not desire wickedness.

You do not favor crimes

Against Your moral law.

Violence does not please You.

You do not sojourn

With the disagreeable.

You do not inhabit

The tents of the unkind.

You do not dwell

With the malignant

And quarrelsome.

 

The boastful ones

Shall not present themselves

Before Your eye.

You oppose all

Who practice

Systematic and habitual

Falsehood.

Workers of vanity,

Sowers of sorrow

Shall not position themselves

In Your holy court.

 

Destroyed be speakers of untruth.

They vanish,

Those weavers of deceit.

Liars perish.

The man who sheds innocent blood,

The treacherous,

YAHUAH detests.

 

As for me,

In the abundance of Your kindness,

In the excellence of Your favor,

I come into Your family.

Your faithfulness multiplies!

I shelter in Your house.

In the land of Ephraim,

I bow down.

Within Your set-apart dwelling,

Before the Presence,

I reverence You, O, ALOHIM.

 

O, YAHUAH, turn my eyes

Toward tsedek, righteousness.

As one outside, a weary traveler,

Guide me toward your Tabernacle Bestow upon me the inheritance of righteousness,

In order to reveal the purpose of my opponent,

On account of the insidious watchers.

In front of seraphim

And in the faces of cherubim,

Make straight

My path,

My journey,

The course of my life.

 

Their breath is not stable.

Their mouth is not established.

In due time,

Their work shall be revealed.

In the house of man,

Their thoughts shall be made apparent.

Their throat opens into a chasm.

Their tongue devours calamity and ruin.

With breath, they scatter.

With speech, they divide,

With language, they plunder.

These strong who lead into chaos,

Who ensnare, devour, and offend,

O, ALOHIM, cast down these fallen ones

By their own devices.

Ensnare them with their own counsel.

 

Let all rejoice and be glad

That flee for protection,

That seek refuge in ALOHIM.

You lead them to the ancient house.

You establish them,

Fixed,

Immovable,

For this time,

Further than one could see or perceive,

To the edge of the horizon and beyond.

 

Give a ringing cry!

Exult in praise!

Sing for joy!

Fenced about,

Shut in,

Defended,

They dwell triumphant

In Your house.

They rejoice in Your fame.

 

You bestow gifts of righteousness,

A rich inheritance,

Upon those who guard Your torah.

O, YAHUAH, Self-Existent, Eternal One.

You surround the just with goodwill.

You crown the faithful with favor.

As a barbed shield,

As a buckler crafted of scaly dragon hide

That guards with prickliness

And with piercing cold,

You protect all those who wait on You!

The Psalm Project represents my desire for a deeper understanding of the Word of YAHUAH. It is not a mechanical translation, a one-word-for-word exchange from Hebrew to English. We have those. This is is a lyrical adaptation of the many possibilities hidden in the Hebrew, arranged with consideration for the poetic and musical intent of the original writer. I pray you are as enriched in the reading as I was in the transcribing.

2023 Conference Announcement

IT’S happening. Zen Garcia was kind enough to ask me to speak at the upcoming 2023 Sacred Word Revealed conference in Atlanta, Georgia. May 26-28. And I’m going. Somewhere on that wall of fine presenters is my mug, but I’m not telling you which one. I like to play hard to get, and so, you will have to try your best and find me. My arrival is predicated upon me speaking exclusively on the Millennial Kingdom + Mud Flood subject, which has been plastered all over TUC over the last few years. I hope to see my readers there! Once Zen and company release the official schedule I plan on scheduling a TUC meetup. So stay tuned.

Miss Rivqah is born!

AND no, she wasn’t born standing up. That would be totally amazing if true. Rivqah is nearly 4 months old now, her birthdate being on July 7, and as you can see, she loves standing with assistance. Sarah and I are in our 40’s, have been married for over 20 years, and never thought we could have any more children. Rivqah decided to surprise us when we least expected it, and here she is, tada! all smiles. Yahuah is truly amazing. Expect plenty more of her in upcoming announcements. I may throw her in when you least suspect it. You can read her birth story here.

Miss Rivqah.

Rebecca L. Gould: A growing family at TUC!

IN my last newsletter I made mention of Rebecca L. Gould without ever giving a photo reveal. Well, here she is. The lovely Rebecca. Rebecca came to TUC during the summer of 2021 after following the breadcrumb trail from Rob Skiba and Nephelim research and soon thereafter began following the Torah. She has been an enormous help to the TUC ministry ever since that time, editing books for publication as well as running the podcast and administrating the TUC community, among other  tasks. ‘The Earth Not a Globe Review: Volume I’ and ‘The Legends of the Jews: Volumes I-IV’ would not have happened without her. 

New Article Archives

A GREAT deal many of my readers have been asking for a single page where my articles can be accessed and I don’t blame them. The sheer volume has become dizzying. Just know that the list provided here is far from complete, though I do say it’s a good start. It’s not that I’m holding anything back. I have been attempting to convert my catalogue of work into pdf files over the last so many months and that is no small easy task. The greater bulk is published all throughout my website. You’ll have to fish for them until I get around to it.
