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














O LORD
The phrase "O LORD" is a direct invocation of Yahweh, the covenant name of God revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14. In Hebrew, this is "YHWH," often vocalized as Yahweh. This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. The use of "O LORD" here is a personal and communal cry, acknowledging God's sovereignty and His role as the ultimate authority and protector of Israel. It reflects a deep, covenantal relationship between the psalmist and God, emphasizing trust and reliance on His divine intervention.

save us
The Hebrew word for "save" is "yasha," which is the root of the name "Yeshua" (Jesus), meaning "The LORD saves." This plea for salvation is both immediate and eschatological, reflecting a desire for deliverance from present troubles and a longing for ultimate salvation through the Messiah. Historically, this cry would resonate with Israel's experiences of deliverance from Egypt, Babylon, and other oppressors. It is a reminder of God's past faithfulness and a hopeful anticipation of His future acts of salvation.

we pray
The phrase "we pray" indicates a communal supplication, suggesting that this psalm was likely used in public worship or during festivals such as Passover. The Hebrew word "anna" conveys a sense of urgency and earnestness in the request. It is a humble acknowledgment of human dependence on divine grace and intervention. This collective prayer underscores the unity of the community in seeking God's favor and intervention.

give us success
The request for success, or "prosperity," in Hebrew "tsalach," implies more than material wealth; it encompasses well-being, peace, and fulfillment of God's promises. In the context of ancient Israel, success was often seen as a sign of God's blessing and favor. This plea reflects a desire for God's guidance and blessing in all endeavors, aligning personal and communal goals with His divine will. It is a call for God to establish the work of His people and to bring their efforts to fruition according to His purposes.

(25) Save now.--This is not the adverb of time. Render, Save, we pray. (See Matthew 21:9.)

Verse 25. - Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord; or, "we beseech thee." The interjectional אנא is as suitable to the several speakers as to one. O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity; i.e. continue to save, continue to send prosperity. Israel feels its constant dependence upon God, and that if the Divine care were remitted for a day, or for an hour, all would be lost. Tears, as Professor Cheyne observes, continually mingle with Israel's laughter.
