In Psalms chapter forty five David said, “Instead of your fathers shall be your children, whom you may make princes in all the earth”, and in chapter forty five and verse seventeen of Psalms David said, “I will make your name to be remembered” where we read,
I will make your name to be remembered in all generations:
therefore shall the people praise you for ever and ever.
The verse begins, “I will make your name to be remembered in all generations:” David began with the words, “I will make your name” or “I, David, shall cause your, Jehovah God's, reputation, fame and glory” “to be remembered” which means “to exist as recalled, called to mind and recorded” “in all generations” or “within each, every, the whole and every period, age, habitation and dwelling place of people”. David said he would cause the reputation, fame and glory of Jehovah God to be brought to mind in every period and age.
The verse continues, “therefore shall the people praise you for ever and ever.” David added the words, “therefore shall the people” or “then, wherefore and on this account will the human beings both male and female” “praise you for ever and ever” which means “give thanks, laud, revere and worship you, Jehovah God, for long duration, everlasting, evermore, perpetually and into the continuing future”. David said the result of him causing generations to remember Jehovah God would be that they would give Him thanks, reverence and worship throughout all eternity.
When we consider the words in this verse, we see how the result of David sharing about the “royal king”, his “daughter” or bride and her offspring would be that people would honor and worship Him forever. God loves people, and His desire is to have a personal relationship with everyone through His Son Jesus. Jesus was sent into the world to die on the cross for the sins of everyone, and when we believe and trust in Him as our personal “Savior and Lord”, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and allow us to live with Him in Heaven forever. There we will give Him thanks, honor, praise and worship forever and ever.
Next time we begin a new chapter and see David say, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until tomorrow…there is more…
