• Faith has that on which it rests—the Lord's testimonies: they are very sure. God's word may be counted on as Himself, not only for final deliverance but for guidance along the path of difficulty. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 90-93” by J.N. Darby)
• There is a character which is a safeguard against delusion and a means of judgment and discerning the right path: “Holiness becomes God's house.” (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 90-93” by J.N. Darby)
• God’s testimonies are, like Himself, very sure. In the midst of the rising up of evil, His throne remains untouched. God is, and has been from all eternity, and His Word is as sure as Himself. Furthermore the certainty of His Word is linked with the holiness of His house. God will fulfill His Word; at the same time He will maintain His holy character. (“Psalm 93” by H. Smith)
