Psalms 105:42
For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
BSB
ASV
For he remembered his holy word, And Abraham his servant.
KJV
For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. Here is the secret reason for all this grace. The covenant and he for whose sake it was made are ever on the heart of the Most High. He remembered his people because he remembered his covenant. He could not violate that gracious compact for it was sacred to him, —"his holy promise." A holy God must keep his promise holy. In our case the Lord's eye is upon his beloved Son, and his engagements with him.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
