"For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me." Psalm 63:7-8 (NASB)
Figuratively speaking, God’s Right Hand is the means whereby victories are obtained for the people of God. It is also an instrument of punishment for the ungodly. God’s Right Hand sustains his children in the hour of need. God promises to strengthen our right hand when he purposes to help. The way it is often used is in the sense of describing that which is or is done in righteousness. In Isaiah 41 God promises when we are dismayed and fearful He will strengthen us, He will help us and uphold us with His Right Hand (verse 10) and in verse 13 it is our right hand that God holds as He helps us. As a matter of position, the Right Hand of God is the place of majesty and favor in God’s Kingdom. It is where Christ Jesus is (Romans 8:34). In our verse from Psalm 63, David is the author and he knew well the blessings of receiving God’s Right Hand of protection and help in battle. We can depend on our God to do all these things for our benefit and His glory.
