Commentary on Psalms 73:28

Theological / Devotional

Draw near to God See Heb. 10:22. When we draw nigh to God He draws nigh to us (see James 4:8). There is a beautiful reciprocal relationship between man and God: the closer we draw to Him, the more fully He is able to reveal Himself.

Lord God. The Hebrew reads ’Adonai Yahweh, an unusual combination (see Vol. I, pp. 171–173). Beneath the psalmist’s doubts, there had always been a measure of trust in God. Henceforth there should be no more doubt, only serene trust.

That I may declare. The psalmist recognizes his responsibility to tell others how he has passed from doubt to confidence, how he has solved in the Lord Jehovah the problem that is the theme of the psalm. The psalm closes with this solemn vow.
