Subject: God values His words more than His Name. |
Bible Note: Hi Tune2Him, Welcome to the forum. I would point out some alternate readings for the verse that magnifies His word yet expresses His authority and name also. The NASB Study Bible has alternate readings in the margin. For "word" the note says [Or, promise]. Instead of "above all" the note says [Or, together with]. So the alternate reading suggested would go, "For Thou hast magnified Thy promise together with Thy name." Or paraphrased it says to my mind "For Thou hast magnified Thy promised word along with Thy name." Or, "For Thou hast magnified Thy promised spirit according to Thy authority and name."
