The psalmist declares a personal and communal claim to God, reflecting the covenant relationship established with Israel. This echoes the Abrahamic covenant (<a href="/genesis/17-7.htm">Genesis 17:7</a>) where God promises to be the God of Abraham and his descendants. The phrase "forever and ever" underscores the timelessness of God's sovereignty and faithfulness, aligning with passages like <a href="/isaiah/40-28.htm">Isaiah 40:28</a>, which speaks of the everlasting God. It also points to the eternal security believers have in God, a theme reiterated in the New Testament (<a href="/hebrews/13-8.htm">Hebrews 13:8</a>).<p><b>He will be our guide even till death.</b><br>This part of the verse highlights God's role as a guide throughout the entirety of life, suggesting His providential care and wisdom. The imagery of God as a guide is prevalent throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23:1-3</a>, where the Lord is depicted as a shepherd leading His flock. The assurance of guidance "even till death" provides comfort and hope, affirming that God's presence and direction do not cease at life's end. This can be seen as a foreshadowing of the New Testament promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ (<a href="/john/14.htm">John 14:1-3</a>), where believers are assured of His guidance into eternity. The phrase also reflects the cultural understanding of God as a constant companion, a theme that resonates with the journey motif found in the Exodus narrative, where God led His people through the wilderness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, representing the eternal and unchanging deity who guides His people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/z/zion.htm">Zion</a></b><br>While not mentioned directly in this verse, <a href="/bsb/psalms/48.htm">Psalm 48</a> as a whole celebrates Mount Zion, symbolizing God's presence and protection.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to the sons of Korah, who were Levites and temple musicians, expressing trust in God's eternal guidance.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/e/eternal_relationship_with_god.htm">Eternal Relationship with God</a></b><br>The phrase "forever and ever" emphasizes the eternal nature of our relationship with God.

Dr. Kay translates "even <span class="accented">over</span> death," and understands that God's loving protection is promised to the faithful even in the land beyond the grave. But he stands alone in this interpretation. Host moderns question whether the words <span class="hebrew">על־מוּת</span> are any part of the psalm, and, comparing them with the <span class="hebrew">על־מוּת לבּן</span> of the title to <a href="/psalms/9.htm">Psalm 9</a>, suggest that they are a mere musical notation. But the psalm would end abruptly without the words, and the meaning, "he will be our Guide unto death," is quite satisfactory (so Hengstenberg and the Revised Version). <p> <p> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/48-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">For</span><br /><span class="heb">כִּ֤י</span> <span class="translit">(kî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> </span><span class="str2">A relative conjunction</span><br /><br /><span class="word">this</span><br /><span class="heb">זֶ֨ה ׀</span> <span class="translit">(zeh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Pronoun -
