1 HalleluYAH, ๐! Throw your hands [in the air to thank]YHVH for being so wonderful! His mercy [endures] forever. Another song David probably wrote for the Ark installation. 1Ch 16. HalleluYAH is a verb, not a mere exclamation. It means: put on a beautiful, wild, embarrassing public show of praise for YAH.
2 ๐, who can recount [all of]YHVH's mighty acts? Who can broadcast songs of acclamation [wild enough to match YAH's greatness]? Thillah = wild applause-filled bursts of spontaneous song.
3[YAH] blesses everyone who guards justice and [who] continually performs [acts of] righteousness, ๐.
David Prays For Resurrection To Dance Forever
4YHVH, please remember me when you show favor to your [chosen] people. Please visit my [grave]. Free [me from death].
5[Let me live] to see your chosen [people experience] abundant [life,] so I can brighten-up your nation with glee. [Let me live] to [jump and shout] โHalleluYahโ with your heritage-people.
The Sinful History Of The Israelites In Song
6 We [repenters admit] we keep sinning, [just] like our fore-fathers. We commit evil. We spread wickedness.
7[Back in the past,] our fathers [likewise] fail to comprehend the wonders you [perform] in Egypt. They forget your countless mercies. [By the time you get them to] the sea (the Red Sea) they're [already] provoking you.
8 Yet, ๐, [YAH] saves [our ancestors] to protect his own reputation, to make known his mighty power.
9So [YAH] rebukes the Red Sea. Its [center] immediately dries up, ๐! [YAH] leads the [Israelites] through the deep's floor like [it's] a desert.
10 So [YAH] frees [his people] from the fists of their haters, ๐. [YAH] redeems the [the Israelites] from the enemy's power-hand.
11 Waters cover the [Israelites'] adversaries, ๐. [YAH] leaves not one [Egyptian soldier] alive.
12 The [Israelites momentarily] believe [YAH's] words, ๐. They song-parade around, applauding [Him]. #7891Shiyr means โsong-paradeโ, not just โsingโ.
13[But] soon the [Israelites] forget [YAH's] feats. They [refuse] to wait for his counsel, ๐.
14 In the wilderness, [the Israelites] plunge into greed, ๐. In [middle-eastern] wastelands, they test Elohim's [patience].
15 So [YAH] gives the [Israelites] the [material stuff] they demand. But [he] sends [them] empty hearts [and wasting diseases]. Like the people around you.
16In the [desert] camp, the jealous [Israelites try to oust] Moses and Aaron, the [priest whom]YHVH separated [from the pack to lead the way to the promised land]!
17[So] the earth opens [up its โmouthโ]. It swallows up [rebel rogue] Dathan. [Dirt] covers the [democracy-pushing political] party [led] by AbiRam {High-Father}.
18[YAH] engulfs the [whole voting-rights] party with fire, ๐. The flame burns up those wicked [politicos]. YAH is not a fan of democracy. Our job is to obey YAH's Laws, not to amend, replace or abolish them.
19*[Beneath Mount] Horeb {Dry}, the [Israelites] forge a molten calf-idol. Then [they] worship it, ๐!
20*The [Israelis] exchange their glorious [YHVH] for a statue of a grass-munching bull, ๐! Just like the bull outside the New York Stock Exchange.
21 The [Jews] forget Elohim their savior, who performed great miracles [to save them from slavery in] Egypt.
22[The Israelites forget the] wondrous works [YAH performed] in the land of Ham {Hot-Head}. [They overlook the] terrifying feats [YAH achieved] on [the shore of] the Red Sea.
23 So [YAH] proposes to destroy the [Israelis]. But Moses, [YAH's] chosen [prophet,] steps between [the Israelites and YAH's angry] face. [Moses] pacifies [YAH's] fire-rage. [So YAH relents] from destroying [Israel].
24 Still the [Israelites] despise the pleasant land, ๐. They fail to build [their lives on YAH's] word. Belief = building (#539 โamanโ), not mere intellectual or emotional assent. The Hebrew language offers no concept of abstract belief. As the Apostle James points out: โfaith without works is dead.โ A true believer builds his life on his theological principles. Actionless faith saves no one.
25 The [hypocrites] murmur [blasphemy] in their tents. They refuse to listen to the voice of YHVH.
26 So [YAH again] lifts up his hand against the [Israelites], ๐. [He offers to] overthrow them in the wilderness.
27[YAH aims his spirit-weapons to] strike-down even the [Israelite] seed-children living in the beast-nations, to scatter their [dead bodies] across the earth.
28[YAH sees] the [Israelites] join themselves to Baal-Peor {Lord-Of-The-Slit}. They gobble [meat] sacrificed to dead [non-gods].
29 The [Israelites] keep on plaguing [YAH] with their schemes. So plague breaks out over them, ๐.
30Then Phinehas {Snake-Mouth}stands up. He executes justice. [He sees two junkie witches fornicating in front of children, right in front of Moses at the sanctuary-tent! So Phinehas spikes the witches to the ground through their privates.] So [YAH] stops the plague. Under Hebrew Law, if two bona-fide eyewitnesses see criminals commit a death-penalty crime, anyone can kill the criminals with impunity.
Phinehas saw two occult-sex-god worshippers putting on an all-ages smut-show in a public phallic shrine they stubbornly erected right in front of Moses' holy sanctuary.
Under 'modern law', such pornography is โfreedom of expressionโ.
Under Hebrew Law, that's at least 3 death-penalty crimes.
Under โmodern lawโ, you can worship the devil, but you can't personally punish criminals.
31[YAH] counts the zeal of [Phinehas] as [a symbol of] righteousness [worthy of remembrance] for all generations throughout time. The zeal, not the killing, is what's righteous.
32 But the [Israelites go on to] anger [YAH again] at the โwaters of Meribah {Strife}.โ So Moses [again] suffers because of the [ingrates].
33 The [Israelites] provoke Moses' spirit. They goad him to speak rash words with his [aged] lips.
34[Time passes, ๐. Again and again] the Israelites fail to [obey] YAH's command to banish [all unrepentant] beast-nationals [from Hebrew society]. #8045 (shaman) should be interpreted here as a holiness command, not a command to kill. If people die via supernatural power when you praise-sing, you didn't murder them, heaven executed them.
35*Instead the [Israelites] mingle among the beast-nations. [The โbelieversโ] learn the [pagans' sinful] actions. Just like the Judeo-Christians around you.
36 So the [Israelites] serve the [pagans'] idol-gods. [So demons] ensnare the [pagans and the Hebrews alike].
37Yes, [some Israelites even] slaughter their sons and their daughters to [appease] demons! Just like modern parents sacrifice their children to the god of war.
38[Some Israelites] shed innocent blood! They [spill] the red [life-wine] of their sons and daughters. The [rebels] sacrifice [everything] to [appease] the demon-idols of Canaan {Lowland}. So, ๐, the [promised] land [fills] with blood-pollution. Human sacrifice = sending your boy to kill and die in rich peoples' wars.
39 The [Israelites'] own actions defile them, ๐. Still they rush on whoring and running their scam-schemes.
40[So]YHVH's fire-rage flares up [hot] against his [corrupted] people. [YAH] abhors his [fallen] โheritage-family.โ
41 So [YAH] hands the [Israelite sinners] into the fist[s] of the beast-nationals. [Heathen jerks] who hate [YAH's people] rule over the [Israelis].
42 The [Israelites'] enemies [rise to] oppress them. [Soldiers] drag the [rogue Israelis] into subjection under their [wicked rulers'] fists.
43 Many times [YAH] rescues the [Israelites]. Yet they keep scheming rebellion, ๐. So their evil drags them down.
44 Still, [YAH] hears the [Israelites] crying, ๐. [He looks on them with pity.] He sees them [bleeeding] in a death-squeeze.
45 So, ๐, to [renew] his covenant, [YAH] remembers the [Israelites]. [YAH] relents because he's infinitely merciful.
46 So YAH makes the [Israelites] pitied by all the [oppressors] who'd carted them [off] as captives.
A Prayer For Freedom To Wildly Dance & Sing
47YHVH our Elohim, please free us. Gather us [exiled believers] from among the beast-nations, [so we can] throw [our unchained hands in the air to thank] your sacred name. [Get us dancing in] triumph, shouting [wild spontaneous clapping songs to honor you]. thillah = wild improvisational-applause-praise. Get free from your fear of wildly praising in public.
48 ๐, kneel [and adore] the Adonai{Sovereign}Elohim of Israel from eternity past to eternity future. All [you] people [shout] โAmรฉn.โ HalleluYAH [is a verb]!
