Psalm 56
1. David, praying to God in confidence of his word, complains of his enemies,
9. He professes his confidence in God's word, and promises to praise him














In God, whose word I praise
This phrase begins with the profound declaration of trust and reverence for God. The Hebrew root for "God" here is "Elohim," a term that signifies the majesty and power of the Creator. It is a reminder of the omnipotent nature of God, who is worthy of all praise. The psalmist's use of "whose word I praise" underscores the importance of God's word as a source of truth and guidance. The Hebrew word for "word" is "dabar," which not only refers to spoken words but also to God's promises and decrees. This highlights the reliability and faithfulness of God's word, which is worthy of praise and trust.

in the LORD, whose word I praise
The repetition of "whose word I praise" emphasizes the psalmist's deep commitment to honoring God's word. Here, "the LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "Yahweh," the personal name of God that conveys His eternal presence and covenant relationship with His people. This name is a reminder of God's faithfulness and His intimate involvement in the lives of His followers. The psalmist's praise is not just for God's word in a general sense but specifically for the promises and truths revealed by Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God. This reflects a deep-seated trust in God's character and His revealed will.

Verse 10. - In God will I praise his word; rather, through God (see the comment on ver. 4). In the Lord (rather, through the Lord) will I praise his word. Professor Cheyne looks upon this as "a feeble Jehovistic interpolation, which interrupts the refrain." But other commentators see in it a certain force.
