The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
The secret of the Lord. "The secret;" the Hebrew (sod) is often used of a privy council met for deliberation (Job 29:4): here it means the familiar intimacy of Yahweh (Proverbs 3:32; John 15:15).
His covenant. The way in which, especially, God shows His 'familiar intimacy' with his people, is by communicating to them by His Spirit inwardly the covenant of salvation not to be known by carnal reason (Isaiah 54:13; John 6:45; John 7:17; Revelation 2:17).
