8. O Lord God of hosts, who
is a strong Lord like unto thee? Or, “Jehovah, God of Hosts, who is like thee, Mighty Jah?” Here we have the name which displays his self-existence, the title
which denotes his dominion over all his creatures, and an adjective which sets
forth the power with which he exercises his sovereignty. Yet this great and
terrible God has entered into covenant with men! Who would not reverence him
with deepest love? Or to thy faithfulness round about thee. He dwells in
faithfulness; it is said to be the girdle of the loins of his only-begotten
Son, who is the express image of his person. People often fail in truth because
their power is limited, and then they find it easier to break their word than
to keep it; but the strong Jehovah is equal to all his engagements, and will
assuredly keep them. Unrivaled might and unparalleled truth are wedded in the
character of Jehovah.
