What is the meaning of Psalm 111:3? Splendid and majestic is His work “Splendid and majestic is His work” (Psalm 111:3a) invites us to pause and look at everything God has done and is still doing. • The brilliance of creation: From the ordered heavens (Psalm 19:1) to the intricate details of every creature (Genesis 1), His handiwork puts beauty and power on display. • Mighty acts in history: Think of the Red Sea parting (Exodus 15:11), the walls of Jericho falling (Joshua 6), and the resurrection of Jesus (Acts 2:24)—each event radiates splendor that no human effort could match. • Ongoing providence: He “sustains all things by His powerful word” (Hebrews 1:3), guiding governments (Daniel 2:21), caring for sparrows (Matthew 10:29), and numbering every hair on our heads (Luke 12:7). • Personal transformation: Believers are called “His workmanship” (Ephesians 2:10). When He rescues sinners and shapes them into Christ’s likeness (2 Corinthians 3:18), that too is majestic work. All of this reinforces Revelation 15:3, where the redeemed sing, “Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God Almighty!” Every glance at His works should stir worship, confidence, and joyful obedience. His righteousness endures forever “His righteousness endures forever” (Psalm 111:3b) assures us that God’s moral perfection and covenant faithfulness will never fade. • Steadfast standard: Unlike shifting human values, God’s righteousness “is an everlasting righteousness” (Psalm 119:142) and “will never be abolished” (Isaiah 51:6). • Perfect justice: He cannot be bribed, misled, or wearied. Abraham was confident, “Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (Genesis 18:25). Daniel affirms, “The LORD our God is righteous in everything He does” (Daniel 9:14). • Covenant faithfulness: The cross shows His righteousness upheld and His mercy poured out (Romans 3:25-26). In Christ, God “made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). • Eternal security: Because His righteousness is everlasting, so is the salvation He gives (Hebrews 7:25). We are kept by the same unchanging character revealed at Calvary and promised to hold us fast (Jude 24-25). When we anchor our hope in His unending righteousness, daily worries shrink. No injustice, disappointment, or cultural upheaval can erode what God has declared right and lasting. summary Psalm 111:3 urges us to lift our eyes to God’s breathtaking works and settle our hearts in His never-ending righteousness. Every sunrise, every page of redemption history, and every transformed life testifies to His splendor. And because His righteousness is forever, we can trust Him completely—today, tomorrow, and for eternity. |
