LET THE LORD GOD BE MAGNIFIED CONTINUALLY

Proclamation:
“But may all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who long for Your saving help always say, ‘The Lord is great!’”  Psalm 70:4 (NIV)  The King James version of The Bible for this verse reads: “Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; and let such as love Thy salvation say continually, ‘Let God be magnified.’”

Explanation:
The words of this psalm were written under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by King David.  This psalm is a prayer which was to be sung during worship services.  This psalm is almost a repeat of the words at the end of Psalm 40. (Psalm 40:13-17)  Here David repeats himself and says let that those who seek The Lord and want to know His Holy Word rejoice and be glad.  May those who seek Him continually magnify The Lord God.

Application:
Those who truly seek The Lord God will find Him. (Deuteronomy 4:29, Proverbs 8:17, Jeremiah 29:13, and Matthew 7:7-8)  Also, those who believe in Him and diligently seek Him will find Him and will be rewarded. (Hebrews 11:6)  “O magnify The Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” (Psalm 34:3)
