Excerpt from Knowing the Scriptures: Rules and Methods of Bible Study

This saying of the Psalmist may primarily refer to some specific word of God, some promise, like that recorded about the future of David's own house (2 Samuel vii:11, 19) but the larger truth it contains and conveys is capable of so much wider scope and broader application that it may well be said to include the whole body of Holy Scripture.

Calvin translates: Thou hast magnified Thy name, above all things, by Thy word; and Luther, Thou hast made Thy Name glorious, above all, through Thy Word. But, with Hengstenberg, the majority of the best Bible students favor substantially the common rendering: Above all Thy Name, thou hast made glorious Thy Word - meaning that, beyond all works of Creation and Providence, or other means whereby God has made Himself known, He has exalted His written Word.

To those to whom it is addressed, it has power to com vict and convert, sanctify and edify; but it has even a higher power and province: it is the mirror of its Author; meant, first of all, to reveal, un'veil, magnify and glorify Him from whom it originally went forth.

About the Author

Arthur Tappan Pierson (18371911), was an American Presbyterian pastor with a wide and varied transatlantic ministry that made him famous in Scotland and England. This pioneer of fundamentalism preached over 13,000 sermons in his lifetime, delivered Bible lectures in venues like Moody Bible Institute, and penned over fifty books. He served as a consulting editor for the original Scofield Reference Bible (1909) for his friend, C. I. Scofield and counted as friends such men as D. L. Moody, George Mller, Adoniram Judson Gordon, and C. H. Spurgeon (whom he succeeded in the pulpit of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London).
