Because the message of this psalm is one of such relevance, every Christian should give it serious and regular attention. The truths and convictions which formed the mind-set of the psalmist, as he looked upward to the Lord and forward to the coming of the Messiah, should characterize every Christian as he or she looks back to the first coming of Jesus Christ and forward to his return.
Dr Jones says that the Psalm is 'most worthy of being called 'the Great Psalm', and not only because of its complex form but its central theme, which is that the Word of God provides 'all things [necessary] to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3)….It is therefore a spiritual as well as a literary tour de force.'
Remarkable poetic skill is wedded to singular piety in order to send a message to the people of God about the Word of God and the way of the godly – in a fallen world'.
