My faithfulness
The Hebrew word for "faithfulness" is "emunah," which conveys a sense of steadfastness, reliability, and trustworthiness. In the context of this verse, it reflects God's unwavering commitment to His covenant promises. Historically, God's faithfulness is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, demonstrating His consistent nature in fulfilling His promises to His people, from the patriarchs to the kings of Israel. This assurance of divine faithfulness provides believers with confidence in God's unchanging character.

and loving devotion
The phrase "loving devotion" is translated from the Hebrew word "chesed," which is rich in meaning, encompassing mercy, kindness, and steadfast love. "Chesed" is a covenantal term, often used to describe God's loyal love towards His people. It is a love that is not based on merit but on God's gracious choice. This concept is central to understanding the relationship between God and His people, highlighting His enduring love and mercy that persist despite human failings.

will be with him
This phrase indicates the presence and support of God with the anointed one, traditionally understood as King David or the Davidic line. The assurance of God's presence is a source of strength and guidance. In a broader theological context, it points to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who embodies God's presence with humanity. The promise of divine accompaniment reassures believers of God's continual guidance and support in their lives.

and through My name
The "name" of God in Hebrew thought represents His character, authority, and power. Invoking God's name implies reliance on His divine attributes and promises. Historically, the name of God was revered and considered powerful, often used in blessings and oaths. In this verse, it signifies that the exaltation and success of the anointed one are attributed to God's sovereign power and authority, not human effort.

his horn will be exalted
The "horn" is a biblical symbol of strength and power, often used to represent military might or royal authority. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the horn of an animal, such as a ram or bull, was a symbol of strength and dominance. The exaltation of the horn signifies the elevation of status and power, suggesting victory and triumph. In the context of the Davidic covenant, it points to the enduring strength and success of the Davidic line, ultimately fulfilled in the reign of Christ, whose kingdom is established forever. This imagery inspires believers with the hope of victory and divine empowerment in their spiritual journey.

(24) Faithfulness and mercy, represented in Psalm 89:14 as God's attendants, are here commissioned to act as a guard to David and his house.

Verse 24. - But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him (comp. Psalm 61:7). And in my Name shall his horn be exalted (see 2 Samuel 7:9).
