Study Note
The declaration that 'the secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant' presents intimate divine disclosure as the privilege of those who live in covenant reverence. The Hebrew 'sod' (secret, council) here carries the sense of intimate friendship and shared confidence — the same word Amos 3:7 uses for God's revelatory relationship with prophets, suggesting the God-fearer participates in prophetic-level intimacy. John 15:15's distinction between servants (who do not know what their master does) and friends (to whom Jesus has made known all things from his Father) develops this psalm into a christological promise: discipleship is friendship with the omniscient God. The verse stands within an acrostic psalm of instruction (Psalm 25), giving it a wisdom context: covenant faithfulness and divine disclosure are inseparable.
