17. For his justice, holiness, and savings mercy














He fulfills
The phrase "He fulfills" emphasizes God's active role in the lives of His followers. The Hebrew root for "fulfills" is "עָשָׂה" (asah), which means to do, make, or accomplish. This word conveys the idea of God not only hearing but also acting upon the desires of those who are faithful to Him. It reflects God's sovereignty and His ability to bring to completion the hopes and prayers of His people. Historically, this assurance of God's action would have been a source of comfort and strength to the Israelites, who often faced uncertainty and adversity.

the desires
The term "the desires" refers to the deep, heartfelt longings and requests of the faithful. In Hebrew, the word "רָצוֹן" (ratzon) is used, which can also mean will or favor. This suggests that the desires in question are aligned with God's will and are not merely selfish wishes. Theologically, this implies a relationship where the believer's heart is in tune with God's purposes, echoing the sentiment found in Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart."

of those who fear Him
"Of those who fear Him" highlights the condition for the fulfillment of desires. The Hebrew word for fear, "יָרֵא" (yare), encompasses reverence, awe, and respect. This fear is not about being afraid but about recognizing God's majesty and authority. In a historical context, this reverence was central to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where obedience and worship were expressions of fear. For the conservative Christian, this fear is foundational to a life of faith, reflecting a deep respect for God's holiness and commands.

He hears their cry
The phrase "He hears their cry" assures believers that God is attentive to their prayers. The Hebrew word "שָׁמַע" (shama) means to hear or listen, implying not just passive hearing but active attention. This is a recurring theme in the Psalms, where God is depicted as a compassionate listener to the cries of His people. In the ancient Near Eastern context, where gods were often seen as distant and capricious, the personal and attentive nature of the God of Israel was revolutionary and deeply comforting.

and saves them
Finally, "and saves them" speaks to God's deliverance and protection. The Hebrew root "יָשַׁע" (yasha) means to save, deliver, or give victory. This salvation is both physical and spiritual, encompassing deliverance from enemies, sin, and eternal separation from God. Historically, this would remind the Israelites of God's past acts of salvation, such as the Exodus. For the conservative Christian, it points to the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ, who delivers believers from sin and grants eternal life. This assurance of salvation is a cornerstone of Christian hope and faith.

Verse 19. - He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him (comp. ver. 16). What he does for "every living thing," he will do more especially for men, if they truly" fear" him, and love him (ver. 20), and draw near to him in sincerity and truth. He also will hear their cry, and will save them; i.e. deliver them out of their troubles.
