The Lord Be Magnified

Psalm 35:27-28

Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication; --

May the people who are glad that God has caused His Truth to win out on my behalf tell of it out loud.

And let them say continually, "The Lord be magnified" --

May they constantly remember that God is the One Who designed how this world is to run, and makes sure that His order prevails over the chaos.

"Who delights in the prosperity of His servant." --

Prosperity: (Hebrew, shalowm; [total] welfare, in [good] health, [financial] prosperity, and [national/political] peace.)

God smiles when His people do things the way He designed in obedience to His rules, and reap the benefits in this world.

And my tongue shall declare Thy righteousness and Thy praise all day long. --

And whenever I realize that the "good life" I am experiencing here is the result of following God's instructions in my daily life and thinking processes; then I will also say out loud to whoever will listen that God is good, every day, to all He has made and everyone who wants to know Him and His ways.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
