The Hebrew term for "flawless" can also mean "tested" or "refined," suggesting that God's word has been proven true and reliable. This aligns with Psalm 12:6, which describes the words of the Lord as "pure words, like silver refined in a furnace." The idea of God's word being flawless underscores its authority and trustworthiness, a central tenet in the belief that the Bible is the ultimate guide for faith and practice.

Teaching Points The Perfection of God's WordGod's word is described as flawless, meaning it is without error and completely trustworthy. This should encourage believers to rely on Scripture as the ultimate authority in their lives. God as Our Protector The verse portrays God as a shield, offering protection to those who seek refuge in Him. This imagery encourages believers to trust in God's protection and guidance in all circumstances. The Importance of Trust Taking refuge in God implies a deep trust in His character and promises. Believers are called to place their confidence in God rather than in human wisdom or strength. Application of Scripture Since God's word is flawless, it should be applied to every aspect of life. Believers are encouraged to study and meditate on Scripture regularly to align their lives with God's will.(5) Every word of God is pure.--Comp. Psalms 19, where first (Proverbs 30:1-6) the glories of God as revealed in nature are described, and then (Proverbs 30:7 sqq.) the excellence of the revelation of Himself in His word is extolled. Every word of God is "pure," i.e., tested and proved in the furnace of experience; e.g., His promise to be a "shield" (Genesis 15:1) to those that trust in Him. (Comp. Psalm 18:30.)Verse 5. - Every word of God is pure. "Word" is here imrah, which does not occur elsewhere in our book, which is the case also with Eloah, the term used for "God." Every declaration of God in the inspired record, the Torah, is pure, as if refined in the fire (Psalm 18:30). Vulgate, Omnis sermo Dei est ignitus; Septuagint, "All the words of God are tried in the fire (πεπυρωμένοι)." God's words are true, sincere, with no mixture of error, certain of accomplishment (comp. Psalm 12:6; Psalm 119:140). He is a shield. He is perfect protection to all those who, relying on the word of revelation, fly to him for refuge (see on Proverbs 2:7). The knowledge of God is obtained in two ways - by his revelation in his Word, and by the experience of those who trust in him. Parallel Commentaries ...
