The Power of God's Name
Commentators explain that "the name of the Lord" refers to God Himself. This was a powerful statement against pagan nations who worshipped physical idols. The verse affirms that God's power is real and active, even when He cannot be seen. Some scholars even see this phrasing as an early hint of the New Testament's description of Jesus as the Word (Logos) of God.
