/ATCH [TOWER AND HERALD OF CHRISTS PRESENCE Vor, LIL Apri 1, 1931 HIS FAVORED PEOPLE “T will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.’’—Ps. 34:1. EHOVAH has declared his purpose to bring reJ lief to the people upon whom he will bestow his special favor. He also shows that when this people would be particularly made manifest it would be at a time when there is great infidelity amongst the peoples of the world and when most of them would be blind to an understanding of the truth. Such prophecy he caused Isaiah to write. Now he has brought to pass the events by the facts of which he proves to those who are watching that the prophecy is being fulfilled. 2Now only a few know the great Jehovah God. Many false prophets speak in his name and because their speech is false they turn the people away from God. Jehovah further declares that he will have a people on earth at this time whom he will appoint as his witnesses to tell the people that he is the only true God. To be appointed to such position is a wonderful favor. Therefore those on the earth who are his witnesses are the most favored people that have ever been on the earth. They are not speaking with each other so much concerning the exalted place to be oceupied by them in the kingdom, however, but they are deeply concerned with and speaking of the duties and privileges God has bestowed upon them. The thirty-fourth Psalm shows this favored people of God performing their duties and privileges, and doing so joyfully. God has put a new song in the mouth of such as constitute his ‘‘servant’’, and these continually sing HIS praises. * The words of the prophet are not properly applied to individuals, as many are prone to apply the Psalms. The Psalm is not of private interpretation, but is given for the aid, comfort and encouragement of the church, and particularly for the remnant, composing a part of the ‘‘servant’’. *The psalmist sings of a time of judgment when the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and his face against them that do evil. This fixes the time of the full application of the Psalm as when the Lord appears at his temple and gathers together unto himself those whom he designates as the remnant. The remnant becomes a part of the ‘elect servant’ and therefore is properly described as the remnant which 99 is of the ‘‘servant’’ class. The ones referred to as righteous must be those who are brought under the robe of righteousness, and which denotes God’s approval granted to them because of their faithfulness. The psalmist discloses a class that opposes and persecutes the faithful remnant, and speaks of the end of such. The deliverance of the faithful is shown and the place of their security is revealed to them and they are shown that they may be safe while delivering the testimony committed to them. Seeing the great favor thus bestowed upon them by Jehovah, the ‘‘servant’’ or remnant continues to sing the new song of praise unto the Most High. With an appreciation of the great favor bestowed upon the ‘‘servant’’ he says: “‘T will bless Jehovah at all times: Is praise shall continually be in my mouth.’’ 5 The writers of the various Psalms disclose at different places the various reasons for the song of praise to Jehovah. In Psalm 29 the reason is given as because of God’s mighty strength manifested to his people, In Psalm 92 he is praised because of his lovingkindness. In Psalm 95 he is blessed because he is the great God. In Psalm 98 Jehovah is praised because he establishes his righteous kingdom on earth. While in the 34th Psalm special praise is given to God because he has shown his favor to his servant, delivered him from the influence of the enemy, and made him a witness for the Lord. The speaker does not express pride or boastfulness in what he has accomplished, but he exults over his favored position in which the Lord has placed him. He says: ‘‘My soul shall make her boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear thereof and be glad.’’ (Vs. 2) With authority it is written: “‘Knowledge pufis up, but love builds up.’’ (1 Cor. 8:1, Diag.) The ‘‘servant’’ has received a knowledge of the truth; but he has received more than that: he has received the love of the truth. The truth he properly appreciates, and it has had the proper influence upon him. *Many have received a knowledge or mental conception of the truth and, being called to the high calling, have responded thereto, but have not received the love of the truth. The motive of such has been a selfish desire to be in the kingdom for self-benefit and
