Caption transcript for The Warrior King (2022): “Poetry and Psalms” (7/8)

• 00:01 ♪♪♪ David Hart: Welcome to "Our
• 00:06 Jewish Roots," with insightful Bible teaching by Dr. Jeffrey Seif.
• 00:09 Today we look at the musical side of David as we continue
• 00:14 our series "Warrior King."
• 00:16 ♪♪♪
• 00:31 ♪♪♪
• 00:46 King David: I need more.
• 00:48 ♪♪♪
• 01:03 David Hart: We are so glad you've joined us today.
• 01:05 I am David Hart.
• 01:06 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 01:07 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I am Jeffrey Seif,
• 01:09 and we are taking another look at "The Warrior King."
• 01:12 Kirsten: And today is all about David's,
• 01:15 shall I say, softer side?
• 01:17 He wrote poetry, he wrote songs, ones that we still sing today.
• 01:23 David: Yes.
• 01:26 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Not only do we sing 'em,
• 01:27 you still sing 'em today.
• 01:29 For the last five or six years, just about every morning,
• 01:30 my wife and I wake up, and we go through a psalm among
• 01:32 other things.
• 01:34 We read it, and then we ask what's on our heart.
• 01:36 It tenderizes us.
• 01:38 Kirsten: It does, and it's beautiful because,
• 01:39 when we read through the psalms, there's highs,
• 01:42 there's lows.
• 01:43 King David was a warrior king, but he was real too,
• 01:46 and he expressed what he was going through.
• 01:49 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yes, I think those psalms say things
• 01:51 that we think and feel.
• 01:53 We don't necessarily have vocabulary for it,
• 01:55 but we hear the psalmist speak, and we vicariously enter into
• 02:00 that, and we not only hear the psalmist talk about the
• 02:02 problems, we hear the faith rise up to get to the solutions.
• 02:06 Kirsten: Yeah, it's good.
• 02:08 David: That is good.
• 02:09 We take you now to our dramatic reenactment in Israel,
• 02:11 followed by teaching from Dr. Seif.
• 02:14 ♪♪♪
• 02:19 King Saul: Oh, music of the ten strings,
• 02:22 soothe my troubled soul.
• 02:28 Oh, evil spirit, the tune of David hath pursued thee
• 02:35 for now.
• 02:37 ♪♪♪
• 02:43 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Bible readers are informed that music
• 02:46 has been around since the dawn of creation.
• 02:50 In the Hebrew book Bereshis, Genesis,
• 02:53 in the 4th chapter, readers are informed that one of Cain's
• 02:58 progeny, a fellow named Jubal, was the father of those
• 03:02 who played the harp.
• 03:04 Not only were people into music at the beginning,
• 03:09 but even before the beginning of time,
• 03:11 according to the Hebrew Bible, music was around,
• 03:15 and why do I say that?
• 03:17 Well, I don't say that.
• 03:18 Ezekiel is speaking of Satan, this inherently evil
• 03:23 personality.
• 03:24 Goes by the Latin epithet, Lucifer,
• 03:28 or "light-bearer," who deceives, and we're told in chapter 28,
• 03:33 verse 13, that he, that this personality was in Eden,
• 03:38 the garden of God.
• 03:41 "Paradise" is a Latin word for "enclosed garden," and there
• 03:46 he was, and from there he fell.
• 03:50 The reason why I mention that in conjunction with music is to say
• 03:53 that this same person we're told was--he came unto his own,
• 03:58 in Ezekiel chapter 28:13, he says,
• 04:01 "the workmanship of timbrels and pipes was prepared for him
• 04:06 on the day that he was created," hence,
• 04:10 you have some correlation between this evil personality
• 04:13 and the manufacture and the development of music,
• 04:17 but as the old saying goes, "Why should the devil have
• 04:23 all the good music?"
• 04:26 Enter David.
• 04:28 Actually, we see music before David.
• 04:31 Miriam, after Moshe Rabbeinu, after Moses,
• 04:35 and Israel, they make their way through the sea.
• 04:38 The waters part.
• 04:40 We're told in the book Shemot, in Exodus,
• 04:42 that she comes out with tambourine.
• 04:45 We find primitive starbursts of praise accompanied with
• 04:50 musical instrumentation.
• 04:52 We then, as we make our way through the Hebrew Bible,
• 04:54 find that primitive music evolves and becomes more
• 04:59 formalized by the time we get to the book Tehillim,
• 05:02 or Psalms.
• 05:04 The word "psalms" comes from the word "psalter."
• 05:07 They're cut from the same cloth.
• 05:08 It's a prayer book.
• 05:10 The Hebrew, "tehillim," means "praises."
• 05:12 Actually, it's not one book. It's five.
• 05:14 Inasmuch as you have the five books of Moses,
• 05:17 you have five books or worship in the Hebrew Bible,
• 05:20 and some of these worship songs come with what today
• 05:24 are anachronistic, "hard to come to terms with," archaic
• 05:27 expressions, various forms of musical notations that
• 05:31 reflected an antiquity.
• 05:33 We had Levitical choirs in the Old Testament economy that were
• 05:38 given to giving voice to biblical praise because it was
• 05:42 long observed that music enabled individuals to rise above their
• 05:49 vexing circumstances.
• 05:51 Music provides a mechanism to put prayer to song
• 05:56 with instrumentation.
• 05:58 It helps people to pray.
• 06:00 It helps people give expression to things they're thinking
• 06:03 and they're feeling.
• 06:05 It seems that the Lord led David into that world early,
• 06:08 and I'm glad that the Lord did.
• 06:11 We're all the beneficiaries of The Warrior King's
• 06:17 musical proclivity.
• 06:19 David loved the Lord, and he loved to give voice.
• 06:22 There's some-70 psalms that attest to that.
• 06:24 I remember years ago, I was paralyzed from the neck down.
• 06:27 I'd pick up a dread disease called "Guillain Barre."
• 06:31 I couldn't walk.
• 06:32 I could barely move a hand, a finger,
• 06:35 and someone brought me a CD player,
• 06:37 and there was a song in there by Paul Wilbur,
• 06:39 "I will lift up my eyes unto the Lord."
• 06:42 And with my finger, I'd play it and push "replay," and play it
• 06:45 and replay, and why is that?
• 06:48 Because, at that time, this is the only thing I could lift,
• 06:52 and I'd cry, and I'd pray, and I'd sing.
• 06:55 Once, I was in a lawsuit as well,
• 06:57 pressed against the wall in a world gone bad,
• 07:01 dealing with wicked situations, and I have to pray the psalms
• 07:07 every morning, to tell you the truth,
• 07:09 just to get my head above the water.
• 07:11 Well, thank God for God.
• 07:12 Thank God for David.
• 07:14 Thank God for that gift.
• 07:15 Different people have been the beneficiary of it.
• 07:17 Saul himself, we're told in the text,
• 07:19 in 1 Samuel chapter 16, he'd get wrapped around the axle.
• 07:23 He's very disconcerted and depressed,
• 07:24 and David would come and play his music,
• 07:27 and, you know, it tamed the savage beast.
• 07:30 Off we go now to look at David, the psalmist,
• 07:33 a little closer, as we continue with our story on
• 07:36 "The Warrior King," and look at David-like leadership for these
• 07:41 Goliath-like times.
• 07:43 ♪♪♪
• 07:55 King Saul: Oh, spirit of David.
• 08:00 David, oh, it is he that causes me this anguish.
• 08:07 The tune his fingers play had made me mad.
• 08:11 It is he who would take my throne.
• 08:14 No.
• 08:16 ♪♪♪
• 08:21 King Saul: Run, David, run.
• 08:25 If I could only pursue thee, I would,
• 08:28 but I fear even more so the Lord who runs with thee.
• 08:38 ♪♪♪
• 08:45 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I've seen this on more than one occasion,
• 08:47 and what am I talking about?
• 08:49 The aftermath of violence.
• 08:52 What am I referencing? A crime scene.
• 08:55 As a police officer in another career,
• 08:59 I've walked into worlds where they used knives,
• 09:02 pistols, shotguns, and they've killed.
• 09:06 It's horrible at one level what happens when I think
• 09:10 of the pent-up energies.
• 09:12 People can't control 'em.
• 09:15 The rage gets the better, and they unleash it on those round
• 09:20 about them, and it's not pretty.
• 09:23 What they leave in their aftermath is pillage,
• 09:27 and so it is we walk into a world here now,
• 09:30 and now I am speaking as a biblical theologian,
• 09:34 not as a police officer.
• 09:36 We walk into a world here where we experience David,
• 09:39 who's the victim of someone's malice.
• 09:43 What do I mean by that?
• 09:45 Saul is hell-bent on destroying, and he takes a spear and thrusts
• 09:51 it at him, and, you know, I wonder,
• 09:54 David must have thought, "Why?"
• 09:57 But it wasn't the first time, mind you.
• 10:01 Recall the story when David began his fighting career,
• 10:03 if you will.
• 10:04 He goes to the battle lines to bring food staples to his
• 10:07 brothers, and Goliath shows up, and,
• 10:09 you know, David's "What's up with this?
• 10:11 You know, someone ought to tell him to shut up."
• 10:13 And his brothers say, "Why don't you shut up,
• 10:15 David, and go back to your stupid little sheep."
• 10:19 And David says something that he must've thought on many
• 10:22 occasions, "What did I do?"
• 10:24 The reason why I say that, surely David,
• 10:27 the heroic David, when the world collapses round about him,
• 10:33 David must surely have thought, "What did I do?
• 10:37 What did I do to deserve this?"
• 10:39 Like Jesus, in more than one occasion,
• 10:42 he must've, at the feeling level,
• 10:44 said, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
• 10:49 Because it sure felt like that, and why is that?
• 10:53 Because trusted people roundabout have forsaken him,
• 10:56 to put it mildly.
• 11:00 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: David had to run for his own sake,
• 11:02 if you will, and this is interesting for my money,
• 11:05 and what's that?
• 11:06 David, this guy who's going to go on from Saul,
• 11:09 when he's going to look at his career as he's reflecting on it
• 11:14 at the very end of it, he's going to prove to be Israel's
• 11:17 greatest warrior king.
• 11:19 This is a guy who inhabits real estate that has 6,000 square
• 11:23 miles, and when he's done, Israel has expanded to
• 11:26 60,000 square miles.
• 11:29 This is a winner, not a loser, but what's interesting is that
• 11:34 David spent the beginning of his career on the run.
• 11:38 This forward-moving king spent 13 years--talk about 13 bein'
• 11:44 an unlucky number--13 years on the run from Saul
• 11:49 for no good reason.
• 11:51 Now, I want you to hear me on this,
• 11:53 and there may be some of you that have a Saul in your world,
• 11:56 that is to say, within your webs of relationships,
• 11:58 someone who's not just frustrating but someone who's
• 12:02 detrimental to your health, who's threatening you.
• 12:04 And listen, when I'm reading the biblical story,
• 12:07 I'm reminded of the fact, sometimes you have to put it
• 12:10 in reverse.
• 12:11 David, who was minded to begin his career by serving Saul,
• 12:14 realized he had to get out of dodge.
• 12:16 There may be some within the sound of my voice that you
• 12:20 might construe that as wisdom for you.
• 12:22 I know there's a song, "Something tells me I'm in
• 12:25 for something good," but when it comes to this domestic violence
• 12:28 stuff, when it repeats and goes over and over and over again,
• 12:31 something tells me that you're not,
• 12:33 and I wanna tell you, with a Bible in one hand and a little
• 12:36 Jesus in my heart, that sometimes it's time to say
• 12:39 goodbye, but for fear of an uncertain future,
• 12:43 I've seen people hold on to the very end,
• 12:46 leading to their own death because they didn't know when
• 12:50 to cut and get out of dodge.
• 12:52 And I want you to hear me, please: Uncertain as David's
• 12:57 world was when bad things were happening around him,
• 13:00 I want you to know that he walked by faith in an uncertain
• 13:03 future, and you know what happened?
• 13:05 God raised him up to be something that's greater than
• 13:08 his wildest imagination at the time when he's dodging
• 13:11 these spears.
• 13:13 I want you to know the same God is the God of David.
• 13:16 The same God is the God for you, and I want you to know "The same
• 13:19 Lord is the Lord of all, and he bestows his riches upon all
• 13:23 who call upon him."
• 13:24 I believe that God has a great future for you,
• 13:27 and he can even use the difficulties in the present
• 13:31 to prepare you for it.

• 14:58 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: When soldiers go off to war,
• 15:01 they find themselves in a really lonely place.
• 15:05 Things swirling around them, it is so very precarious.
• 15:09 We'll see in a moment how David had peace amidst the turbulence
• 15:13 of trying times.
• 15:15 As we go off into battle, one of the things that helps me is
• 15:19 not just the fact that God is with us,
• 15:21 but other people are standing behind us as well.
• 15:25 For those warriors in antiquity, someone made the helmets,
• 15:28 the spears.
• 15:30 They sharpen the sword. They made the arrows.
• 15:34 For every soldier in battle, there was a group that helped
• 15:37 them to get there and gave them the resources they needed
• 15:41 to be successful.
• 15:43 With that said, as we fight the good fight of the faith our way

• 16:17 male narrator: Those of us who fought with David found it
• 16:19 strange that he never feared death.
• 16:23 Even in the midst of the battle, his confidence grew.
• 16:25 He told us that "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about
• 16:29 those who fear the Lord."
• 16:30 "Deliverance," he said, "was in the hands of the Lord."
• 16:35 Ever calm, ever secure, David's faith remained unflinching.

• 16:50 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: And to think I used to be a police
• 16:52 officer in the big city, and now I'm coming to you from Israel
• 16:55 with all of these sheep.
• 16:57 And the reason why I'm doing that is because the hero of our
• 17:00 story, David, cut his teeth, working like this guy
• 17:04 right here, working with these guys right here,
• 17:07 and I think it's perhaps for that reason that David was able
• 17:10 to make the shift and envision that "The Lord is my shepherd,"
• 17:15 that is, inasmuch as he himself was kindly disposed toward
• 17:19 the welfare of those under his charge,
• 17:21 he knew that, difficulties notwithstanding,
• 17:24 God would do similar on his behalf,
• 17:27 and it's for that reason, in part,
• 17:29 where, in Psalm 34--and I really want you to turn there with me
• 17:32 and have a look, if your will, please.
• 17:35 Sheep can be a little pushy as I'm learning right now.
• 17:38 But he says in Psalm 34, in verse 4,
• 17:42 "I sought the Lord, and He heard me,
• 17:44 and He delivered me from my fears."
• 17:49 A moment ago, we considered, in the previous segment,
• 17:53 that David was pressed against the turbulence of trying times,
• 17:57 but he had a good God who was a good shepherd,
• 17:59 and he says, "I sought him, and he delivered me."
• 18:03 He goes on to say, "They looked to him,
• 18:05 and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed."
• 18:09 Our warrior king learned that he could look to God,
• 18:12 even crying out from his difficulties,
• 18:14 and God could take away the shame and the difficulty and
• 18:17 given him a kind of joy.
• 18:20 There is a peace of God that passes all understanding,
• 18:24 and our warrior king learned about that.
• 18:28 He says, "This poor man cried out,
• 18:30 and the Lord heard him, and he saved him from
• 18:35 all of his troubles."
• 18:36 Whether it's Saul, whether it's Goliath,
• 18:39 whether it's his own sins, our hero learned that there's a good
• 18:45 God who loves him, who was willing and able to save him
• 18:49 from all of his troubles, much as a shepherd who
• 18:52 is kindly disposed toward these sheep will lead them
• 18:56 on successful, and when the enemies come roundabout,
• 19:00 snakes, wolves, whatever, that shepherd's gonna take care
• 19:02 of them as well.
• 19:03 "This poor man cried to the Lord,
• 19:06 and he delivered him."
• 19:07 Then he says a statement in verse 7,
• 19:09 that's as true for him as it is for me,
• 19:11 as it is for you, and here we go.
• 19:13 In verse 7, "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who
• 19:17 fear Him, and delivers them."
• 19:21 I believe, by the way, that we don't just have
• 19:24 some philosophical society.
• 19:26 I believe that we have a God who is willing and able.
• 19:30 In John chapter 10, Jesus said, "I am the door.
• 19:34 Anyone who enters by me will be saved and will go in and out
• 19:38 and find pasture."
• 19:40 And the words "save" in the Greek,
• 19:41 means "to deliver, to heal, to make whole."
• 19:46 We have a God who really cares about us.
• 19:50 We have a verse in Scripture, "thanks be to God who always
• 19:53 leads us in triumph," said Paul, who had it in the bad way on
• 19:58 more than one day, but God is good.
• 20:01 We're told here as well, what we're encouraged here in
• 20:04 verse 8, "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.
• 20:07 Blessed is the man or the woman who trusts in Him."
• 20:13 Our warrior king learned that he could come up from nowhere.
• 20:17 He came from obscurity as a young man tending his father's
• 20:21 sheep, a dad that didn't respect him much,
• 20:24 and then he entered into a world where a surrogate dad,
• 20:28 if you will, Saul took him under his charge,
• 20:31 and it wasn't just disrespect.
• 20:33 It was out-and-outright hate.
• 20:35 David cut his teeth in his trials,
• 20:38 and he learned there's a good God who "watches over his word
• 20:42 to perform it."
• 20:44 And David's story, as he makes his way from the womb to tomb,
• 20:48 is so telling because, in so many ways,
• 20:50 he's like us, and he's commended his recipe for success in life.
• 20:55 You know, there can be families today that come from the
• 20:59 old country, and there's grandma's recipes,
• 21:02 and goodness, if we could just learn to cook like that,
• 21:05 we would eat well, when, in much the same way that David's
• 21:08 recipes for success in life are left in his own words,
• 21:12 he says here, "Oh, fear the Lord."
• 21:15 Now, that means revere him, respect him.
• 21:18 "Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints."
• 21:20 That's more than just going to church on Sundays and on
• 21:22 weekends if there's something that interests you.
• 21:25 A reverence for the Lord pays dividends.
• 21:28 Our warrior king learned that.
• 21:32 We're considering David-like leadership in Goliath-like
• 21:35 times, and we're learning about a God who loves,
• 21:37 who saves, and redeems.
• 21:39 He did it for David. He'll do it for you.

• 21:54 David: Kirsten is a cellist.
• 21:57 I have played a little bit of guitar.
• 21:59 This right here is an authentic harp that might've been used
• 22:04 with David, a big part of his life back in the day, yes?
• 22:08 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Well, that type, that is
• 22:11 a new construction, I should say.
• 22:14 The Harraris, our ministry has been involved with them for
• 22:18 years, knows them personally, that made that by hand.
• 22:21 They wanted to bring back the music of the Bible.
• 22:24 Kirsten: Which is beautiful, and we're worship leaders.
• 22:29 That's what we do.
• 22:31 We've been doing our whole lives,
• 22:32 and there's something about singing the words of the Psalms
• 22:36 that soothes the soul.
• 22:39 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: To be sure, David was known for that.
• 22:41 Saul had a problem, and that was a solution.
• 22:44 But love for the stringed instrument goes back to Genesis,
• 22:47 by the way, in the 4th chapter.
• 22:49 Right after Eden, Jubal is noted in verse 23,
• 22:52 as the progenitor of those who played on stringed instruments.
• 22:56 So there's an appreciation for the music that goes way back to
• 23:02 the dawn of recorded history.
• 23:03 David: We were on our tour bus the other day,
• 23:05 and our tour guide was telling us that this is the shape of
• 23:10 Tiberias, the Sea of Galilee, and it looks a lot like it.
• 23:14 It was unbelievable we when he said that.
• 23:16 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yeah, it's known as Gennesaret,
• 23:17 one of the names for the Sea of Galilee,
• 23:20 and it is--really, it comes from the word "kinnor," in Hebrew,
• 23:24 which means "harp," and not only does the Sea of Galilee look
• 23:28 like a harp, but similarly, as the wind blows over it,
• 23:32 sometimes you get a harp-like sound which contributed to
• 23:36 the naming of the place.
• 23:37 Kirsten: Have you heard that?
• 23:39 Have you heard any of that?
• 23:41 Is it the wind? That's fantastic.
• 23:43 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I've never heard it.
• 23:44 But in terms of--Bible readers know,
• 23:45 on occasion, the winds would get--would stir up in the Sea
• 23:49 of Galilee and create problems for there in the vessels,
• 23:52 and when you look at the mountains around it,
• 23:55 you can see where the winds would sweep through.
• 23:58 David: That's great.
• 24:00 Kirsten: As the winds stir up the Sea of Galilee,
• 24:03 may the words of David's psalms and the beautiful songs that he
• 24:07 wrote stir within your heart.
• 24:10 He was a powerful warrior, and he penned many songs that
• 24:14 we still sing today.
