SEV Biblia, Chapter 138:2
Adoraré al templo de tu santidad, y alabaré tu Nombre sobre tu misericordia y tu verdad; porque has hecho magnífico tu Nombre, y has engrandecido tu dicho sobre todas las cosas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 137:2
Verse 2. For thy loving-kindness ] Thy tender mercy shown to me; and for the fulfillment of thy truth-the promises thou hast made. Thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. ] All the Versions read this sentence thus: "For thou hast magnified above all the name of thy holiness," or, "thy holy name." Thou hast proved that thou hast all power in heaven and in earth, and that thou art true in all thy words. And by giving the word of prophecy, and fulfilling those words, thou hast magnified thy holy name above all things-thou hast proved thyself to be ineffably great. The original is the following: ûtrma ûm lk l[ tldgh yk ki higdalta al col shimcha, imrathecha, which I think might be thus translated: "For thou hast magnified thy name and thy word over all," or, "on every occasion." Kennicott reads, "He preferred faithfulness to his promise to the attribute of his power." I believe my own translation to be nearest the truth. There may be some corruption in this clause.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - When we can praise God with our whole heart, we need not be unwillin for the whole world to witness our gratitude and joy in him. Those wh rely on his loving-kindness and truth through Jesus Christ, will eve find him faithful to his word. If he spared not his own Son, how shal he not with him freely give us all things? If God gives us strength in our souls, to bear the burdens, resist the temptations, and to do the duties of an afflicted state, if he strengthens us to keep hold of himself by faith, and to wait with patience for the event, we are boun to be thankful.
