Psalm 21:8
8 Thine hand [yad] shall find out
[matsa'] all thine enemies: ['oyeb] thy right hand [yamiyn]
shall find out [matsa'] those that hate [sane'] thee. KJV-Interlinear
8 Your
hand will find out all your enemies; Your right hand will find out those who
hate you. NASB
The hand is often used as
the instrument of ones work or effort. And
here it is Gods hand that works truth and is able to find out, to discover, to
expose all enemies that oppose God, that oppose truth, that oppose His plan,
that reject God and truth, that are indifferent toward God or truth or His
plan, that are adversaries against God in any and all manner of opposition.
The right side, is the
side of authority. Gods right hand is the work that supersedes all other works
or efforts. God is the sovereign over all
that exists.
Will find out, is
repeated twice indicating that God knows all.
Nothing can be hidden from God, no matter what plans or deceptions are
thought up or attempted in history.
Will, indicates the
certainty of Gods ultimate victory over all that oppose Him. God does not need to discover opposition, He
already knows it from eternity past. Therefore
nothing can ever be hidden or slipped past God.
The certainty is
emphasized here, since truth is going to be the victor when history concludes
and mans efforts and Satan’s efforts are brought to a screeching halt and end, once
and for all in the final days of history.
So, this very important
principle should make you aware that any thoughts that you have toward drifting
away on your own and against God, will end up in certain failure.
There is only one victory
and that is by means of Gods plan and design for history and especially for
your personal life.
