What is the meaning of Psalm 105:7? He is the LORD our God Psalm 105:7 opens with a personal, covenantal declaration: “He is the LORD our God.” • “LORD” (YHWH) is the personal name revealed in Exodus 3:14–15, reminding us that the same God who spoke to Moses is actively involved with His people today (Malachi 3:6). • Calling Him “our God” underscores relationship and belonging, echoing Psalm 100:3: “Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His.” • This statement anchors our identity and worship. Because He is “our” God, His faithfulness, power, and promises are not abstract but relational—meant to secure and guide us (Deuteronomy 7:9; 1 Peter 2:9). • The verse ties back to the larger context of Psalm 105, which recounts God’s steadfast works for Israel—such as His covenant with Abraham (Genesis 15:18), deliverance from Egypt (Exodus 12:40–42), and provision in the wilderness (Nehemiah 9:20). His judgments carry throughout the earth The verse continues: “His judgments carry throughout the earth.” • “Judgments” refer to God’s righteous decisions and actions. They are not limited to the final judgment but include His ongoing governance (Psalm 19:9; Isaiah 26:9). • “Throughout the earth” highlights universal reach. God’s standards apply everywhere, not only to Israel (Psalm 96:10; Acts 17:31). • This assures believers that justice is never local or accidental—God rules globally, so no evil escapes His notice (Psalm 33:13–15). • It also motivates mission: because His judgments extend worldwide, His people declare His deeds among the nations (Psalm 105:1; Matthew 28:18–20). • The phrase balances comfort and caution: comfort that wrongs will be righted (Romans 12:19), and caution that we too must live in obedience (1 Peter 1:17). summary Psalm 105:7 proclaims a twin truth: the LORD is personally our God, and His righteous rule spans the entire earth. We belong to a covenant-keeping King whose justice is active and universal. This reality grounds our identity, fuels our worship, and compels us to live and witness faithfully, knowing that His purposes are sure everywhere and for all time. |
