The works of the Lord are great.
His work is honorable and glorious.
He has made His wonderful works to be remembered.
He has declared to His people the power of His works.
The works of His hands are verity and justice.
That's a whole lot of references to God's works, all in one psalm. It's so easy to think of God's works primarily as feeding us (verse 5) and powerful acts (verse 6). But the psalm looks entirely different when you start thinking of His work on the cross: His righteousness (verse 3) and His compassion (verse 4) and His promise (verse 5) and the redemption of His people (verse 9).

This Psalm was a favorite Communio (sung during Distribution) in the early years of the Reformation.
ReplyDeleteI will give thanks to the Lord (and when He had given thanks)
He has caused His wonderful works TO BE REMEMBERED (do this in remembrance of me)
He has commanded His covenant (my blood of the new testament) forever.
He provides FOOD for those who fear Him (take and eat).
Oooooh! I like that! Thank you, Pr Weedon.
