Notes

Psalms 111:6–8

Giving Israel the land of other nations was just and good. The Lord was judging those nations and showing grace to Israel. However, if the Israelites do not live faithfully and with integrity, they will also lose the land. The Lord’s people must reflect his character.

Psalms 111:1–10

This wisdom psalm contains many references to the works of the Lord that reveal his character. God is:

  • righteous,

  • gracious,

  • compassionate,

  • faithful,

  • just,

  • trustworthy,

  • upright,

  • holy, and

  • awe-inspiring (Psalm 111:3, 4, 7, 8, 9).

God's character gives hope in the covenant relationship (Psalm 111:5). God rescued Israel from Egypt (Psalm 111:9). God gave them the land (111:6). God provides for his people (111:5). However, God expects those in this relationship to also be righteous and have integrity.

Psalms 111:1–117:2

The word Hallelujah! is repeated throughout this group of psalms.
