Psalm 138
"1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee."
We should always be praising Father for all He has done and is doing for us with ALL of our heart. When we praise Him with all of our heart, there is no room for any idols to come in to our heart because we are completely focused on Him alone.
"2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name."
We should always be worshiping Father and looking towards Heaven, towards our Messiah Yeshua, and towards His Kingdom. We praise Him for His grace and mercy, and for His Truth (His Word, His Torah). Father has made His Word (His Torah) even greater than His reputation.
"3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul."
Father always hears our cries to Him and He always answers us. It may not be right away, but He answers us when the time is perfectly right for us according to His timing, and it is always right on time. Father strengthens us in our souls and helps us to be bold in Him, knowing we are safe, secure, cared for, protected, provided for, and strong in Him and through Him.
"4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth."
When anyone truly hears His Word, they will thank Him for His Word, and praise Him for giving it to us. When anyone truly hears Him speaking to us through His Word they will be thankful and full of praise for Him and for how wonderful He is toward us in that He cares about us and loves us so much that He gave us His Word (Torah).
He gave us His Word to teach us how we are to live our lives, how we are to worship Him, how we are to stay in righteousness by reading, learning, keeping, doing, and teaching His Word (Torah) to everyone. Through His Word, we know what sin is and we know the blessings for obeying His Word and the curses if we don't.
We also have Yeshua, His Son, His Word, His Torah made flesh, for our perfect example of how we are to live our lives for our Father in Heaven just as Yeshua did. How wonderful and amazing our Father is for giving us the straight and narrow path on which we are to walk out our lives for Him!
"5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord."
Everyone who truly knows Father's Ways will sing praises to Father for His Ways. Everyone will praise Him for His grace and mercy and for His Truth (His Word, His Torah, His Son Yeshua). Everyone will praise Him because His glory and honor are above all the earth and above all His creation.
"6 Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off."
Even though Father is above all of the earth and His creation, He still looks upon those who are humble and who put themselves in subjection to Him and His Word with favor. He sees that they have a heart for Him and His Ways and love Him dearly and have Him close to them in their hearts. But to those who are proud, haughty, lofty, who place themselves above Father and above His Word, those who do not obey His Word, those people He looks upon and sees that they are far away from Him and don't truly know Him or truly follow Him. He sees they don't truly love Him in their hearts.
"7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me."
Even though we are in the midst of trouble, surrounded by evil wickedness on all sides, Father is walking with us through it all. He gives us the strength we need to walk through. He keeps us alive in the midst of the danger we are surrounded by. Father puts His right hand between us and the danger or trouble and keeps it from ever touching us or harming us in any way.
"8 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands."
Our Father will fulfill His purpose for us, His will in our lives, His will for us. Father's favor (translated as "grace" incorrectly in the kjv) and mercy will continue with His children forever. Father never fails and He will not forsake the work He is doing in our lives.
