Psalm 48
1. The ornaments and privileges of the church














Your name, O God,
The "name" of God in biblical terms often signifies His character, reputation, and authority. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a name was more than a label; it encapsulated the essence of the person. God's name is revered and represents His holiness and power. In Exodus 3:14, God reveals His name as "I AM," signifying His eternal existence and unchanging nature. The invocation of God's name in worship and prayer is a central theme throughout the Psalms, emphasizing His sovereignty and the relationship between God and His people.

like Your praise,
The comparison of God's name to His praise suggests that both are vast and far-reaching. Praise in the biblical sense is not just verbal acknowledgment but a lifestyle of worship and obedience. The Psalms frequently call for all creation to praise God, as seen in Psalm 150. This phrase underscores the idea that God's renown and the worship due to Him are inseparable and expansive.

reaches to the ends of the earth;
This phrase highlights the universal scope of God's influence and the call for all nations to recognize His sovereignty. It reflects the biblical theme of God's dominion over all creation, as seen in Psalm 24:1, "The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it." The phrase also anticipates the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19, where Jesus commands His disciples to make disciples of all nations, indicating the global reach of God's kingdom.

Your right hand
In biblical symbolism, the right hand represents power, authority, and action. It is often associated with God's deliverance and protection, as seen in Exodus 15:6, "Your right hand, O LORD, was majestic in power." The right hand signifies God's active involvement in the world and His ability to execute justice and salvation.

is full of righteousness.
Righteousness in the biblical context refers to God's moral perfection and His commitment to justice and truth. It is a key attribute of God's character, as seen in Psalm 11:7, "For the LORD is righteous, He loves justice." This phrase assures believers of God's just rule and His faithfulness to His covenant promises. It also points to the ultimate fulfillment of righteousness in Jesus Christ, who embodies God's righteousness and offers it to humanity through faith, as articulated in Romans 3:22.

What Does Psalm 48:10 Mean
Your name, O God,

• “Name” points to God’s revealed character and unchanging reputation. When Moses asked for God’s name, He said, “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14-15), declaring identity and faithfulness.

• Trusting the name of the LORD is equal to trusting the LORD Himself: “Those who know Your name trust in You” (Psalm 9:10).

• His name is a refuge: “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” (Proverbs 18:10).

• Because God’s character is flawless, His people confidently exalt His name (Psalm 34:3).


like Your praise,

• Praise rises in proportion to revelation; as His name is great, so must the praise be great (Psalm 145:3).

• God “is enthroned on the praises of Israel” (Psalm 22:3); His people’s worship publicly affirms who He is.

• He refuses to share the glory due His name: “I will not give My glory to another” (Isaiah 42:8); authentic praise keeps Him central.

• In heaven that praise is unending: “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power” (Revelation 4:11).


reaches to the ends of the earth;

• The psalmist celebrates God’s global reign. “Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You” (Psalm 67:3).

• Salvation is offered universally: “Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth” (Isaiah 45:22).

• Jesus commissions His church, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19), fulfilling this vision.

• The climax is pictured in eternity: “a great multitude... from every nation and tribe and people and tongue” praising the Lamb (Revelation 7:9-10).


Your right hand is full of righteousness.

• God’s right hand represents His active power. “O sing to the LORD a new song, for He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have worked salvation for Him” (Psalm 98:1-2).

• Every exercise of that power is perfectly just: “The Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are justice” (Deuteronomy 32:4).

• He upholds His people: “I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).

• Christ embodies that righteousness: “In righteousness He judges and wages war” (Revelation 19:11).


summary

Psalm 48:10 celebrates God’s unmatched character (His name), the fitting response of His people (praise), the worldwide scope of His fame, and the righteous power by which He acts. The verse invites believers to proclaim His greatness everywhere, confident that every deed from His mighty right hand is righteous and worthy of praise to the very ends of the earth.

(10) According to thy name . . .--"Name" here has plainly the meaning we give it in the phrase, "name and fame." God's praise was up to the reputation His great deeds had won. (Comp. Psalm 138:2.)

Thy right hand is full of righteousness.--Not like Jove's, as heathen say, full of thunderbolts, but of justice.

Verse 10. - According to thy Name, O God, so is thy praise. The "Name of God," i.e. the character that he has established for himself by former mighty deeds, and the praise which he has now won by the recent deliverance, are coextensive. Both of them reach unto the ends of the earth; i.e. over all the regions known to the writer. Thy right hand is full of righteousness. Thou hast dealt out a righteous judgment by thy right hand and thy stretched-out arm, thereby showing how full thy right hand is of justice and judgment.
