The Hebrew word for "save" is "hoshi'a," which is the root of "Hosanna," a term used during Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem (<a href="/matthew/21-9.htm">Matthew 21:9</a>). This connection highlights the messianic expectation and the recognition of Jesus as the Savior. The context of <a href="/psalms/118.htm">Psalm 118</a> is one of thanksgiving and victory, often associated with the Feast of Tabernacles, a time when Israel celebrated God's provision and deliverance. The cry for salvation here is both immediate and eschatological, pointing to the ultimate salvation through the Messiah.<p><b>We beseech You, O LORD,</b><br>The repetition of "O LORD" emphasizes the urgency and earnestness of the prayer. It reflects a personal and communal appeal to Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God of Israel. This invocation is consistent with the Hebrew tradition of calling upon God's name in times of need, as seen throughout the Psalms. It underscores the relationship between the people and their God, who is both transcendent and immanent.<p><b>cause us to prosper!</b><br>The request for prosperity is not merely material but encompasses spiritual and communal well-being. The Hebrew word "tsalach" implies success and flourishing, often associated with God's blessing and favor. This prosperity is linked to obedience and faithfulness to God's covenant, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a>. In a broader biblical context, true prosperity is found in alignment with God's will and purposes, ultimately fulfilled in the peace and abundance of God's kingdom. This phrase can also be seen as a type of Christ, who brings spiritual prosperity and fulfillment to His people through His life, death, and resurrection.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal presence and faithfulness to His people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to King David, though the exact author is not specified.
