The LORD is Righteous - Psalms 129:4

In Psalms one hundred twenty-nine the Psalmist said, “The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows”, and in chapter one hundred and twenty-nine and verse four of Psalms the Psalmist said, “the LORD is righteous” where we read,

The LORD is righteous: he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

The verse begins, “The LORD is righteous:” The Psalmist began with the words, “the LORD” or “Jehovah who is the existing One and the proper name for the One True God” “is righteous” which means “exists as right, just, lawful and correct”. The Psalmist said Jehovah God exists as right, just and lawful.

The verse goes on to say, “he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.” The Psalmist continued with the words, “he has cut asunder” or “he, Jehovah God, has cut off, hewn in pieces and chopped off” “the cords” which means “the ropes, cordage, chains and foliage” “of the wicked” or “belonging to the people who are criminal, guilty of crimes, evil and hostile to God”. The Psalmist shared how Jehovah God has chopped off the ropes and chains belonging to people who are evil and hostile to Him.

When we consider the words in this verse, we see how the Psalmist declared Jehovah God to be right and just, and He shared how God cut in pieces the binding ropes and chains of evil people who were hostile to Him. God invites everyone to have a personal relationship with Him through His Son Jesus who died on the cross for the sins of all mankind, and when we believe and trust in Him as our “Savior and Lord”, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and cut off the binding ropes and chains of those who are our foes and adversaries.

Next time the Psalmist says, “Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then,

Until tomorrow…there is more…
