Psalm 45:7, 17 (NAS)
They shall eagerly utter the memory of Thine
abundant goodness, And shall shout joyfully of Thy righteousness…. I will
cause Thy name to be remembered in all generations; therefore the peoples will
give Thee thanks forever and ever.
Psalm 45:17 (NIVUS)
They will celebrate your abundant goodness and
joyfully sing of your righteousness…..I will perpetuate your memory
through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and
ever.
Praises
gush and flow forth from both your mouth and the mouths of your
brethren. You cannot stop the spring that bubbles up from inside when
you remember His greatness and abundant goodness. He has shown
you His favor, causing fairness, beauty, joy, and prosperity to fill your
life. You, therefore, shout for joy and sing in exaltation as you think
and ponder on His justice and righteousness.
As a
minister of the gospel, you have been given the opportunity and privilege to
direct people to the One who is the Author and Finisher of that gospel. You
have been ordained to proclaim His name and to establish His covenant.
You are a sign and a memorial that brings glory and honor to His name, causing
His fame and reputation to be widely known. You remind others, whether old or
young, from generation to generation that He, Emmanuel, has chosen to dwell
with men
Therefore,
the peoples and nations, those who formerly lived in darkness, praise
Him. They throw up their hands and lift their voices in thanksgiving
to the Lord of all. They continuously confess His name and His
word. Forever shall His praise be on their lips.
