2 Many [rab] there be which say ['amar] of my soul, [nephesh] There
is no help [yashuw`ah] for him in God. ['elohiym] Selah. [celah] KJV-Interlinear
2 Many are
saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in God." Selah. NASB
The taunting of Absalom
and those following him are described in 2 Sam. 16. The attitude of confidence
in the success of evil is described in 2 Sam. 17.
The power of evil is
expressed only in its desire, opinions, and agenda, and goes no further than
that.
All of the worlds
weapons and resources cannot help evil to succeed. The failure of evil is
inevitable.
All of histories
empires, nations, and leaders have failed. All of the contemporary powers that
be, or those who perceive themselves as being in power, will fail. Because
their objectives and agenda and methods which are of evil, will never succeed.
All of those who
subscribe to the policies of evil will suffer along with the failures of the
leadership of evil.
David was the Lords
anointed. David was blessed. The nation was blessed by association with David.
And despite the failures
of David and the nation, blessings would have eventually come out on top, to
benefit everyone.
But the people rejected
truth, and consequently were unable to see the benefits of their lives prior to
rebellion, were unable to see the discipline of their lives due to their rejection
of truth, and therefore turned to evil, which would only make things worse for
all.
When truth is rejected,
then God applies discipline in order to set matters right.
When people respect
discipline, then truth becomes clear and lives are changed for the better.
However, when people
reject truth, and reject discipline, then they pursue evil and make matters
even worse for themselves. Suffering increases as a result.
Negative people, embrace
evil and presume that God will not be able to help anyone that they reject.
Negative people, embrace
lies and presume that lies are their truth. Consequently negative people,
negative toward truth that is, gain a false sense of confidence in their opinions
and views, and policies, and rush to their own objectives without thought of
consequences.
And when things go
wrong, then the obvious answer is to find someone to blame.
The verse ends with a
pause, ‘Selah,’ or a rest.
For as life bounces from
plan to plan for most negative people, Gods plan continues along without even a
hiccup. Grace keeps on going.
