Commentary on Psalms 111:4

Theological / Devotional

To be remembered. The clause reads literally, “He made a memorial [or “remembrance,” or “mention”] for his wonderful works.” The Sabbath is a memorial of creation (Gen. 2:2, 3). The memorial was held sacred by patriarchs and prophets. God reiterated and re-emphasized the sanctity of the Sabbath when He proclaimed His holy law from Sinai (Ex. 20:8–11). When here on earth Christ worshiped in the synagogue on the Sabbath day (see Mark 1:21; Luke 4:16). The apostle Paul, years after Christ’s resurrection, observed the seventh-day Sabbath (see Acts 13:14 ; 17:2).
