The small g gods who covet a capital G will have to listen
while the psalmist sings praise of the Lord exalted above all things especially
small g gods. The kings of the earth, accustomed to people bowing down to them,
will have to bow down to a higher power and join the song whether they like it
or not. And so you might expect the Lord of all the earth, who puts little g
gods in their place and is King above all kings, to act the part. But this One
who knows no equal, no rival, no one worthy of comparison, regards the lowly,
preserves the powerless, and delivers the needy. Therefore, the whole heart of
the psalmist gives thanks despite walking in the midst of trouble for the Lord
is near and not far off. We too, when strengthened in soul by the steadfast love
of the Lord, trust that purposes for us which may or may not be immediately
apparent will in fact be fulfilled for the capital G God and the King above all
kings hears the words of our mouth and knows the needs of our soul.
