My Hiding Place and Shield: A Psalm 119 Song of Trust and Instruction

Psalm 119:111–116 reminds us that the witnesses of Yahuah are not just records of the past—they are our eternal inheritance, a source of joy, stability, and direction in a doubting world. This song draws from those verses and reveals the heart of one who clings to Yahuah’s word, turning away from evil and leaning into trust.
This piece connects the hiding place—Yahuah—as a recurring theme of refuge and strength throughout scripture. It also reflects a pattern Yahuah embedded into our design: just as scripture tells us to look to the good and hold fast to what is true, so too does modern neuro-behavioral science teach that we can retrain our minds away from doubt and fear by focusing on what is true, lovely, and praiseworthy.
This video is for all who wait for His Word and long to find peace in His promises.

🧠 Brief Insight: Neurobehavioral Science & Scripture
Modern neuroscience tells us that thought patterns create pathways. The more we think doubt, fear, or lack, the more our brains are wired to repeat those thoughts. But we can retrain the mind through what’s called "cognitive reframing"—focusing on truth, gratitude, and positive instruction.
Paul, inspired by the Ruach, put it this way:
"Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable… think about these things."
— Philippians 4:8
Yahuah’s Word does exactly that—it reminds us of what we have, not what we’re lacking. Psalm 119 calls His Word an inheritance, a joy, a shield, and a support. That’s the mental posture that defeats doubt.
Instead of focusing on what we lack, we’re taught to focus on what He’s already given, what He’s promised, and how He’s faithful to finish what He started.
