Contextual Overview

¹Thank God because he's good, because his love never quits. Tell the world, Israel, "His love never quits." And you, clan of Aaron, tell the world, "His love never quits." And you who fear God , join in, "His love never quits." ⁵Pushed to the wall, I called to God ; from the wide open spaces, he answered. God 's now at my side and I'm not afraid; who would dare lay a hand on me? God 's my strong champion; I flick off my enemies like flies. Far better to take refuge in God than trust in people; Far better to take refuge in God than trust in celebrities. Hemmed in by barbarians, in God 's name I rubbed their faces in the dirt; Hemmed in and with no way out, in God 's name I rubbed their faces in the dirt; Like swarming bees, like wild prairie fire, they hemmed me in; in God 's name I rubbed their faces in the dirt. I was right on the cliff-edge, ready to fall, when God grabbed and held me. God 's my strength, he's also my song, and now he's my salvation. Hear the shouts, hear the triumph songs in the camp of the saved? "The hand of God has turned the tide! The hand of God is raised in victory! The hand of God has turned the tide!" ¹⁷I didn't die. I lived! And now I'm telling the world what God did. God tested me, he pushed me hard, but he didn't hand me over to Death. Swing wide the city gates—the righteous gates! I'll walk right through and thank God ! This Temple Gate belongs to God , so the victors can enter and praise.

Bible Verse Review

Psalms 134:1-3, 1 Peter 2:5, Revelation 1:6, Revelation 4:7-11, Revelation 5:8-10

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. The priests and Levites that blessed the people, and taught them the knowledge of divine things; but not these literally, at least not only these, since the priesthood of Aaron is changed, and the law of it abrogated, and all believers are now priests unto God, and offer up spiritual sacrifices to him; and particularly the sacrifice of praise for his grace and mercy, the perpetuity of which they should publish and proclaim all abroad.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Let the house of Aaron now say ... - Compare Psalms 115:10. The ministers of religion. They are appointed to serve God; to lead in his worship; to defend his truth; to keep up faith in the truth of religion. They are, therefore, interested in my case, and may derive from it a new proof of the merciful character of God which they may employ, not only for their own encouragement in personal piety, but in the duties of their office. My case furnishes a new argument, of which they can make use in defending the truth, and in illustrating the power of religion.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 118:3. The house of Aaron — The priesthood is still preserved, and the temple worship restored.
