This awesome psalm concludes with some amazing promises.

In verse 14, God promises to deliver those who love Him from their lowest point and to lift them up to the highest peak. The verse also teaches us this tremendous truth: To know God, life’s supreme aspiration, is to ascend life’s utmost height.

In verse 15, God doesn't promise those who love Him that they will have no need of prayer, but that He will answer all of their prayers. Of course, we must remember that an answer to prayer is not always an acquiescence—God granting us what we have requested—sometimes it is a refutation of our request and a revelation of God’s preferable and perfect will.

Also, in verse 15, God doesn't promise those who love Him that they will have trouble-free lives, but nary a trouble without Him. In addition, He promises them eventually deliverance from all their troubles and that He will ultimately honor them, because they have honored Him.

Finally, in verse 16, God’s true intimates—those with the deepest affection for Him and a deeper acquaintance with Him—are promised by God a satisfying end to their lives in the here-and-now and the subsequent realization of their complete salvation in their endless lives in the hereafter!

To preach the promises of God, like the precious ones contained in this phenomenal psalm, without specifying to who they are made is like putting a letter into the mail without an address. The content may be excellent and any included remittance most valuable, but its intended is unknown and the parcel undeliverable. The remarkable promises of this remarkable psalm are clearly addressed to its intended recipients, who are clearly identified. They are those who wholeheartedly love God, intimately know God, and constantly call upon God. Are you one of the recipients of the remarkable promises of this remarkable psalm?
