Key Reflection

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

In God will I praise his word -Luther renders this, “I will praise the word of God.” The phrase “in God” means probably “in respect to God;” or, “in what pertains to God.” That which he would “particularly” praise or celebrate in respect to God - that which called for the most decided expressions of praise and gratitude, was his “word,” his promise, his revealed truth. So inPsalms 138:2, “Thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name;” that is, above all the other manifestations of thyself. The allusion in the passage here is to what God had “spoken” to David, or the “promise” which he had made - the declaration of his gracious purposes in regard to him.
