Read Psalm 31 here (text coming …) or at Bible Gateway.
The Hebrew paragraph:
31:1-24 {p} Despite sorrows or enemies, trust in YHVH will not lead to shame, but deliverance
Psalm 31:1-24 Chiastic Structure:
David says, “I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel” (vs. 12). The adjective “dead” comes from the Hebrew Strong’s H4191, מות muwth, a primitive verb meaning, “to die, to put to death.” This is its first occurence in the Psalms. In Scripture, it first appears:
And YHVH God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat; for in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die.” Gen 2:16-17
The ancient pictographs are mem + vav + tav.
mem מ ,ם = water, thus chaos, mighty, blood
vav ו = tent peg, thus add, secure, hook
tav ת = crossed sticks, thus mark, sign, signal, monument
The most straightforward reading of the parable the Hebrew Root Word is telling, is of blood, or the life (mem, as the life is in the blood) nailed (vav) to the cross (tav). The Hebrew language itself, in its letters and words, is prophesying from the beginning of creation of the death Messiah Yeshua would suffer in our place. By His death He defeated death forever. If you would like your mind further blown, it was the Assyrians who invented execution by crucifixion, as far as we know, thousands of years after God first spoke to Adam in the Garden, and a thousand years before the Romans adopted it and put Yeshua to death on the cross.
Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure.’ Isa 46:9-10
