The Nugget: Psa 9:10  And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. My Comment: This verse furnishes an excellent, instructive illustration of two useful methods of practical Bible study and meditation. It is helpful, when meditating upon a passage of Scripture, to note what it states about "my responsibility," and what it states about "God’s responsibility." The clauses of this verse are marked in the notes below to reflect this analysis. Since nearly every passage of Scripture opens up under this analysis, it is not necessary to furnish further examples, except to mention two additional particularly effective illustrations for this method, Pro 3:5-6; Pro 10:4 with Pro 10:22. It is also helpful to notice expressed or implied cause/effect relationships. The cause/effect relationships are noted below for each clause in this verse: they that know. FS68, +Gen_10:1. FS121C2A1, +Job_19:25. This clause represents "my responsibility." It also reflects the "cause." thy name. Psa 5:11; will put their trust. This clause represents "my responsibility."
