This promise is an
encouragement to those who are oppressed or needy (which I think we all
experience at various points in our life). God promises to set us in safety and
to keep us. I also find verse six fascinating, which talks about how the words
of God are pure...
...I'm thinking that its
referring to verse five, in which the promise is a direct quote from God...God
spoke the promise that He will keep us safe, and that promise was spoken with
pure words. In other words, God is using the purity as of His words as a
reminder that His promise is pure and not corrupt.
Just what I'm thinking,
but I believe some research into the Hebrew is required :)
""For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now I will arise," says the LORD; "I will set him in the safety for which he yearns." The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. You shall keep them, O LORD, You shall preserve them from this generation forever."
