The concept of blessing in the Old Testament often includes prosperity, protection, and divine favor. This blessing is not just a wish but a declaration of God's active involvement in the lives of His people. The LORD is the source of all blessings, as seen in the Aaronic blessing in <a href="/numbers/6-24.htm">Numbers 6:24-26</a>, where the LORD's face shining upon His people signifies His favor and peace. The use of "LORD" in all caps indicates the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, underscoring the sacred and personal nature of God in Israel's history.<p><b>the Maker of heaven and earth</b><br>This phrase acknowledges God's sovereignty and creative power, affirming His role as the Creator of all things. It reflects the biblical worldview that God is not a distant deity but actively involved in His creation. This is a common theme in the Psalms, as seen in <a href="/psalms/121-2.htm">Psalm 121:2</a> and <a href="/psalms/124-8.htm">Psalm 124:8</a>, where the psalmist finds help and refuge in the Creator. The phrase also serves as a polemic against the pagan gods of the surrounding nations, who were often seen as limited to specific domains or regions. By declaring God as the Maker of heaven and earth, the psalmist affirms His universal authority and power. This understanding of God as Creator is foundational to the biblical narrative and is echoed in the New Testament, particularly in <a href="/john/1-3.htm">John 1:3</a> and <a href="/colossians/1-16.htm">Colossians 1:16</a>, where Jesus Christ is identified as the agent of creation, further revealing the unity and continuity of God's redemptive plan through Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal existence and faithfulness to His promises. In this context, He is the source of blessing.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/h/heaven_and_earth.htm">Heaven and Earth</a></b><br>Represents the entirety of creation, highlighting God's sovereignty and creative power.
