Psalm 89:52 :
Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
Commentary on this verse:
Blessed be the Lord for evermore - Praise to God always. So Chrysostom was accustomed to say, even when driven out as an exile and a wanderer, "Blessed be God for everything." The passage here denotes entire acquiescence in God; perfect confidence in him; a belief that he was right, and faithful, and true. It is an instance of the faith which those who are truly pious have in God, in all circumstances, and at all times; of their belief that he is worthy of entire confidence, and ought always to be praised. Compare Job 1:21. At the close of all kinds of trouble - and in the midst of all kinds of trouble - true piety will enable us to say, "Blessed be God." In the midst of lamenting the apparent defeat of the Davidic line, the psalmist concludes with a powerful affirmation of praise. This verse encapsulates the heart of worship, even in times of despair, reminding believers that God's goodness and sovereignty persist despite outward circumstances.
Our prayer:
Dear Yahweh, we come before You today to claim the promise that You have given us in Your word. We declare that You are blessed forevermore and we thank You for Your unending love and faithfulness towards us. We pray that You will continue to pour out Your blessings upon us and that we will always remember to give You the honor and glory that You deserve. May Your name be exalted above all else and may we always trust in Your promises. Amen and Amen.
Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
