In Psalms one hundred eleven the Psalmist speaking of Jehovah God said, “The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness”, and in chapter one hundred eleven and verse nine of Psalms the Psalmist shared how Jehovah God, “sent redemption unto his people” where we read,
He sent redemption unto his people: he has commanded his covenant for ever:
holy and reverend is his name.
The verse begins, “He sent redemption unto his people: he has commanded his covenant for ever:” The Psalmist began with the words, “he sent redemption” or “he, Jehovah God, dispatched and assigned ransom, distinction and deliverance” “unto his people” which means “toward his, Jehovah God's, human beings both male and female”: “he has commanded” or “he, Jehovah God, has charged, given orders and appointed” “his covenant” which means “his, Jehovah God's, alliance, treaty, pledge, league, constitution and ordinance” “for ever” or “for long duration, unto perpetuity, futurity, everlasting and evermore”. The Psalmist said Jehovah God dispatched His ransom and deliverance toward His people, and He ordered His alliance and pledge to exist unto perpetuity.
The verse goes on to say, “holy and reverend is his name.” The Psalmist continued with the words, “holy and reverend” or “set apart and ceremonially or morally sacred and awed, respected and revered” “is his name” which means “exists his, Jehovah God's, fame, reputation and glory”. The Psalmist said Jehovah God's fame, reputation and glory is set apart, sacred and to be respected and awed.
When we think through the words in this verse, we see how the Psalmist referred to the deliverance Jehovah God dispatched to His “people”, and He recalled that God ordered His alliance and pledge unto perpetuity. The Psalmist said God's reputation and glory were sacred and to be revered, and we are wise when we align with the Psalmist's words. God sent His Son Jesus into the world to die on the cross for the sins of all mankind, 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 be a part of His “redemption, covenant and sacred name”.
Next time the Psalmist says, “the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until tomorrow…there is more…
