Praise for Jehovah's works
Psalms 111-113 go together as a hallelujah in reference to
Jehovah's ways with Israel in their deliverance. First, Psalm 111,
the works of Jehovah, glorious in themselves, He has made to be
remembered by His mighty intervention in righteousness; yet showing
Him full of compassion, mindful of His covenant also. He has shown
His people the power of His works, to give them the heritage of the
heathen: moreover, His works last. The occasion of the praise, a
knowledge of His name, is that He has sent redemption to His
people. Jehovah being such, the fear of Him is the beginning of
wisdom. This gives good understanding in our walk. Faith knows
this. The Lord's appearing in judgment will indeed prove it to the
world.
