10 ¶ Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all
the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel
our father, for ever and evera.
11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the
power, and the aglory, and the victory, and the majesty:
for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine
is the bkingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as
head above all.
12 Both ariches and honour
bcome of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in
thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make
great, and to give strength unto all.

10a our father, for ever and ever
Now this declaration unto Jehovah of being the father of Israel is that in
that he is and was and ever will be Israel's God. Whether David understood
the full significance of his attribute and what it entailed and did not
entail we must wonder. Certainly as creator of the earth, as the former of
the temporal being into which the spirits of man have been placed in, and in
that as Jehovah he stood as the LORD God of Israel, and as Jesus Christ he
further stands as the Redeemer and Savior of the world, even our very Gospel
Father in the atonement; In all these things he is and has been and will be
our father, for ever and ever. Yet the scriptures and the very words of Jesus
himself has taught us that there is a LORD of our Lord, a Heavenely Father
of Spirits unto whom we are all also the children of in the spirit,
Jesus/Jehovah being the Firstborn in the spirit and in that even our Elder
Brother, we all being the Children of that God whom we have come to know by
the name of Elohim.
