In Psalms one hundred fifteen the Psalmist said, “O Israel, trust you in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield”, and in chapter one hundred fifteen and verse eleven of Psalms the Psalmist said, “you that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD” where we read,
You that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
The Psalmist began with the words, “You that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD:” The Psalmist began with the words, “you that fear the LORD” or “you, the people with the following trait, who are afraid, in awe and morally and spiritually reverent to Jehovah who is the existing One and the proper name for the One True God”, “trust in the LORD” which means “have faith, security and confidence within Jehovah who is the existing One and the proper name for the One True God”. The Psalmist called upon people who are spiritually and morally reverent to Jehovah God to put their faith and confidence within Him.
The verse goes on to say, “he is their help and their shield .” The Psalmist added the words, “he is their help” or “he, Jehovah God, exists as their, the people who fear the LORD's, aid, succorer and assistant” “and their shield” which means “and their, the people who fear the LORD's, buckler, protector and defense”. The Psalmist said Jehovah God exists as the aid, assistant and protector of people who revere Him.
When we consider the words in this verse, we see how the Psalmist called upon the people who revere Jehovah God to put their faith and confidence in Him because He exists as their assistant and protector. God loves people, and His desire is to have a personal relationship with everyone through His Son Jesus who died on the cross for the sins of all mankind. When we yield our lives to Him, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and be our protector and provider as we revere and put our faith in Him.
Next time the Psalmist says, “the LORD has been mindful of us”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until tomorrow…there is more…
