This Psalm is cited in the New Testament as a prophecy of the Messiah’s resurrection. We may not always think of the Psalms as prophetic – Isaiah, Daniel, and Ezekiel would more readily spring to mind, perhaps – but the Psalms are frequently cited as prophecy in the New Testament.
This Psalm is about trusting in the one true God, who will raise all people at the Last Day, and welcome His people into the kingdom prepared for them. Those who follow false gods and do not repent will not be part of this kingdom.
Seeking God and being intellectually honest are important. If we delude ourselves into accepting and staying in a false religion, we are not honest on this point. So many people around the world are trapped still, bound up with these systems because of personal, cultural, and national pressures.
Hope, trust, love, and honesty – these must guide us into the House of the Lord.
All Along the Watchtower 
What a happy Wednesday I’m having.
The Conservative Woman UK has a weekly feature The Midweek Hymn; the author, Margaret Ashworth, shares the biography of the hymn writers and the composers and includes wonderful videos of various presentations of the hymns. This morning it was Rejoice The Lord is King. “Rejoice! And again I say rejoice!”
And now your Psalm offering. I’m now set up for a very good day!

Glad you liked it. Not sure I can keep up the pace but, at any rate you will have seen I’m selecting Psalms to comment on, rather than doing all of them. I’m thinking of doing a series on Romans at some point as Chalcedon is fond of that epistle.

Thank you for another lovely one, Nicholas xx.
It’s so interesting to get different takes on what strikes others about the psalms. They are a regular part of my three prayers offices a day, and often in those ‘watches of the night’ has my mind tried to dwell on the lessons he wishes me to learn. In the beginning and the end, there is him and he is my strong tower and my refuge.
