• This leads to a sweet and earnest conclusion. It is good for me to draw near to God. There we learn truth; there we find comfort. He has put his trust in the Lord Jehovah, in One, sovereign in power, abiding and faithful in promise. He who does will surely have to declare all His wondrous works. He will be in the place to see and experience them, have the heart to notice and understand them, the joy of testifying the faithfulness of One the heart has trusted. In verse 20 we have only sovereign power; in the last verse, covenant faithfulness also. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 64-77” by J.N. Darby)
• Those who draw near to God will surely find that God is good to Israel (vs. 1). (“Psalms 73” by H. Smith)
