The Hidden Sentence
When you read only the opening word of each verse, a sentence emerges from the letter Hey:
"Teach me — give me understanding — lead me — incline my heart — turn away my eyes — establish — remove reproach — BEHOLD!"
The Teaching
After running through the door (Dalet), I arrive at a window — but I cannot open it myself. Every word is a request: teach me, lead me, incline me, turn away what is false. After full surrender, the window opens and the breath of Yahuah fills you: BEHOLD. This is why Yahuah added the Hey to Abram and Sarai — revelation changes everything.
- Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
- Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
- Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
- Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
- Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
- Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
- Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
- Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
