How To Seek The Lord
-
“I sought the Lord, and he heard, and he answered. He delivered me from all my fear.” This is not only a little verse, but it’s from one of the most poetic pieces of literature you could ever study. You see, Psalm 34 is an acrostic poem where they take the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and each one of the verses is the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

You don’t get that from the English because we don’t speak Hebrew. I mean, it’s still beautiful. But imagine how we would be shouting if we really got to see how it was written, where it’s like, “Oh!” Technically, every single… That’s why I once called David the greatest rapper of all time. Some people think it’s Pac. Some people think it’s Biggie. I definitely think it’s David.

I mean, who can do this? Every single verse is a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet. So, there’s a technical component to this psalm that is just beautiful enough to let us know that he really worked on this. He didn’t just throw this together or tear a page out of his diary.
