A Personal and Eternal God
The psalm concludes with a powerful declaration of faith. Commentators like John Calvin emphasize the phrase "This God," which distinguishes the one true God from all false idols. This isn't a vague deity, but a specific, known, covenant God who is "our God." This personal relationship is not temporary but will last "for ever and ever," providing believers with unshakable certainty and comfort.
