Psalms 9:9

"Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,

A high tower in times of trouble;

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;

For thou, Jehovah, hath not forsaken them that seek thee."

Knowing God's name, as mentioned here, implies something far beyond merely being able to pronounce it. For one truly to know God's name when this psalm was written meant loving and serving him; and in our times, it means to confess his Son Jesus Christ, obey the Gospel, and walk righteously before him. See Luke 6:46.

The blessed promise of these verses is that God never forsakes his children. They may indeed be sorely tried and tempted as was Job, hunted like a wild beast by vicious enemies as was David himself, or even, at times, feel forsaken, as did the Christ himself on Calvary; but nevertheless they are never forsaken. As stated in Psalms 37:28, "Jehovah forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved forever."
