The term "Blessed" signifies a deep reverence and adoration for the LORD, acknowledging His supreme authority and goodness. The title "the God of Israel" emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and the nation of Israel, highlighting His faithfulness to His chosen people throughout history. The phrase "from everlasting to everlasting" underscores God's eternal nature, affirming His existence beyond time and space, which is a central tenet of biblical theology. This eternal aspect of God is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/psalms/90-2.htm">Psalm 90:2</a> and <a href="/isaiah/40-28.htm">Isaiah 40:28</a>, which speak of God's unchanging and everlasting nature. The phrase also points to the continuity of God's promises and His unending reign, which is fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ, who is described as the Alpha and Omega in <a href="/revelation/1-8.htm">Revelation 1:8</a>.<p><b>Let all the people say, “Amen!”</b><br>The call for all the people to say "Amen" is an invitation for communal affirmation and agreement with the praise offered to God. "Amen" is a Hebrew word meaning "truly" or "so be it," and it is used throughout the Bible to express assent to prayers and declarations. This communal response reflects the unity and collective worship of God's people, as seen in other biblical instances such as <a href="/nehemiah/8-6.htm">Nehemiah 8:6</a>, where the people respond with "Amen, Amen" to the reading of the Law. It signifies the congregation's acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and their commitment to His covenant. The use of "Amen" also connects to the New Testament, where it is frequently used by Jesus to emphasize the truth of His teachings (e.g., <a href="/matthew/5-18.htm">Matthew 5:18</a>).<p><b>Hallelujah!</b><br>The term "Hallelujah" is a transliteration of the Hebrew phrase "Praise the LORD" and is a call to worship and exaltation of God. It is a compound word combining "Hallelu," meaning "praise," and "Yah," a shortened form of "Yahweh," the personal name of God. This exclamation is a fitting conclusion to the psalm, encapsulating the theme of praise that runs throughout. "Hallelujah" is used extensively in the Psalms and is a key feature of the "Hallel" psalms (Psalms 113-118), which were sung during Jewish festivals such as Passover. In the New Testament, "Hallelujah" appears in <a href="/revelation/19.htm">Revelation 19:1-6</a>, where it is part of the heavenly worship celebrating God's ultimate victory and the marriage supper of the Lamb, symbolizing the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan through Jesus 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 nature and faithfulness to Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_god_of_israel.htm">The God of Israel</a></b><br>Highlights God's special relationship with the nation of Israel, chosen as His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_people.htm">The People</a></b><br>Refers to the congregation of Israel, who are called to affirm God's eternal praise.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/e/everlasting_to_everlasting.htm">Everlasting to Everlasting</a></b><br>A phrase denoting God's eternal existence and unchanging nature.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/a/amen_and_hallelujah.htm">Amen and Hallelujah</a></b><br>Liturgical responses of affirmation and praise, respectively, used in worship.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/e/eternal_praise.htm">Eternal Praise</a></b><br>God's nature is unchanging and eternal, deserving of our continuous praise.
