Spoke 15

Psalm 15 Speaking Truth

LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Psalm 15

Many of the great themes found on Spoke 15 of the Bible Wheel, and on the Inner Wheels and Cycles are linked to Psalm 15. The question "Who shall abide in thy holy hill?" is answered with the promise "He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness." This last phrase touches upon the great doctrinal issue which is addressed in the supernatural integration of Isaiah 59 with the Book of James, as discussed in the article called Works Righteousness. The set (work*, righteousness) ^[Verify] first appears in Psalm 15 quoted above.

The next verse establishes the great theme of "The Tongue: Its Use and Abuse" that manifests most strongly on Cycle 3 of Spoke 15 in the links between Psalm 59, Isaiah 59, and Book 59 (James). This is discussed in the "Works of Faith" article linked above, and in the article on Psalm 59 called Lying Lips. The emphasis on the right use of the tongue is seen in such statements from Psalm 15 as:

• [he] speaketh the truth in his heart
• [he] backbiteth not with his tongue
• [he] sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

This last item shows how dedicated the man of God is in his adherence to truth and his Word. Who could but think of the Book of James when these words are read? This intuition is confirmed in a KeyLink based upon the set {tongue, evil} in the context^{Note 1} of the word "truth." Searching the entire KJV yields exactly two such passages. I begin with Psalm 15.

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

The other passage is found in James 3.8-14:

But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

Using modnotation we represent this KeyLink between Psalm 15 and James as follows:

	KeyLink Set: {Tongue, Evil, near Truth}
	PPsalms( 151 ) PBible( 153 )

Note in particular Psalm 15 say the righteous "speaketh the truth" and James exhorts that we "lie not against the truth." The latter language, refering to lies, is very strong in the links between James, Isaiah 59, and Psalm 59, all of which reside on Cycle 3 of Spoke 15.
