Your Daily Slice


TISHRI 15
Salvation



And You give me the shield of Your deliverance …” (Ps 18:35 ISR)

Many translations use the word “salvation” here in this verse; both are correct.  The word that has been translated from the Hebrew is the word yêsha (Strong’s #H3468), and, among other meanings, is closely related to the name of our Messiah, Yeshua.  This particular word used here is a noun, and includes the sense of safety, well-being, prosperity, victory, and salvation.  All of this taken together is in truth a formidable shield, protecting and insulating us as no one but our Elohim can.

Personally, I believe there is a Messianic implication found in these words, for everything that yêsha provides for us we find in our relationship with our Messiah Yeshua.  He is our salvation (Acts 4:12), He is our deliverance (Luke 4:18, and our victory comes through Him (1Cor 15:57).  Would you suppose that David, the author of this Psalm, was perhaps looking down through the centuries, and recognizing what our Messiah would bring?


See, יהוה has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Tsiyon, ‘See, your deliverance has come; see, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.’ ” (Isa 62:11 ISR)

My deliverance and my esteem depend on Elohim; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in Elohim.” (Ps 62:7 ISR)
