The Lord Will

Psalm 102:15

β€œSo the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 102

Meaning

The restoration of Zion is imagined as revealing God's glory widely. Universal reverence is not a warrant for coerced conversion or political domination.

Enduring God, restored Zion, future praise

God's permanence, compassion for Zion, attention to the destitute, and praise extending to future generations and nations.

Read carefully

It envisions reverence for God; it does not command coercion.

Reflection

Remember the psalm's broad horizon of God's glory.
