An Invitation to Intimacy
Commentators explain that the Hebrew word for "friendship" (or "secret") implies a deep, confidential relationship, like that of an inner circle of friends sharing counsels. This verse promises that those who revere God are not kept at a distance but are invited into an intimate fellowship with Him, sharing in His plans and presence.
