Notes

Psalms 111:9

The people of the exodus generation went free because of God’s grace.

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.
