Jehovah Guards The Lives Of His Loyal Ones

[Bible Speaks]

Psalm 97:10

• 10 "O you who love Jehovah,  hate  what is bad. He is guarding the lives of his loyal ones; He rescues them from the hand of the wicked."

Jehovah is the rightful Sovereign, worthy of worship and praise. “You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth,” we read at Psalm 83:18.

Several psalms praise Jehovah for his works of creation, such as the starry heavens, the wonders of life on earth, and the marvels of the human body. (Psalms 8, 19, 139, 148)

Others glorify Jehovah as the God who acts to save and protect those loyal to him. (Psalms 18,138) Psalm 97.

Still others exalt him as the God of justice, who brings relief to the oppressed and punishment to the wicked.—Psalms 11,68, 146.

Jehovah brings help and comfort to those who love him. 

Perhaps the most famous psalm is the 23rd, in which David describes Jehovah as a loving Shepherd, who guides, protects, and cares for his sheep. Psalm 65:2 reminds God’s worshippers that Jehovah is the “Hearer of prayer.” Many who have fallen into serious wrongdoing have found great comfort in Psalms 39 and 51, where David puts his repentance over grave errors into heartfelt words and expresses his faith in Jehovah’s forgiveness. Psalm 55:22 contains an exhortation to trust in Jehovah and to put all personal burdens on Him.
