Psalm 118
1. An exhortation to praise God for his mercy
5. The psalmist by his experience shows how good it is to trust in God
19. Under the type of the psalmist the coming of Christ in his kingdom is expressed














This is from the LORD
This phrase emphasizes divine origin and sovereignty. The Hebrew word for "LORD" here is "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal presence and faithfulness. In the context of Psalm 118, this acknowledgment of God's hand in the events being described underscores the belief that what has occurred is not by human effort or chance, but by the deliberate action of God. Historically, this psalm is often associated with the return from Babylonian exile, a time when the Israelites recognized God's providential role in their restoration. This phrase invites believers to see God's hand in their own lives, acknowledging that He is the ultimate source of all that is good and purposeful.

and it is marvelous in our eyes
The word "marvelous" comes from the Hebrew "pala," which means to be extraordinary or wonderful. This term is often used in the Old Testament to describe the miraculous works of God that are beyond human comprehension. The phrase "in our eyes" suggests a communal recognition and appreciation of God's work. It implies that the people of God collectively witness and celebrate His deeds. In a historical context, this could refer to the awe and gratitude felt by the Israelites as they experienced God's deliverance and faithfulness. For contemporary believers, it serves as a reminder to remain attentive and responsive to the wonders God performs in their lives, encouraging a posture of worship and thanksgiving.

(23) The Lord's doing.--This change of destiny, which made Israel of sudden political importance, is to be ascribed to none but Jehovah Himself.

Verse 23. - This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This fresh elevation of Israel to importance - especially to such great importance - can only be attributed to the work of Divine providence. It is "the Lord's doing" - literally, "from the Lord" - and is one of the most marvelous events of history.
