"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen." v.13
Read chapter 41.
This is the last psalm of the first book of psalms. David ends it by calling blessing of the Lord God of Israel, Yahweh Elohim of Israel. How can a man bless the Lord? Here the word is used for extolling or lifting up. He indeed deserves all exaltation and there's no extolling to high for our Lord God!
"From everlasting to everlasting" is more than just a time but a purposeful outflow of God's character and work. It is always good and praiseworthy and as I like to say "to infinity and beyond!"
Amen is repeated here as a sure emphasized truth that has been set forth in this psalm and this first book of psalms. Everything we read in scripture is true. We need to read and learn and understand. We can learn so many things from truth, why would we go without it! How can you extol the Lord God today?
