“I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame.” Psalm 138:2
The term “bow down” means that wherever they were, ancient Israelites faced in the direction of the temple in Jerusalem to pray.
“Unfailing love and Your faithfulness” is a common word pair in the Psalms, epitomizing the Lord’s care for His people.
“Exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame” is a reference to God’s Word and God’s name. In keeping His word of promise, God exceeded previous deeds done in His name.
God’s name and Word are above everything, including all of the claims of the false gods. He cares for His children, and He will protect them and bring His plans for them to completion. Salvation is not only for David or for the Israelites, but for all nations who will come to faith through God’s Word.
God’s blessings on your day…
