The righteous runs into it and is safe. (Margin note = "set on high") (NASB: Lockman) Greek (Septuagint - LXX): Ek (out of, marker of origin/cause) megalosunes (greatness, majesty, prominence) ischuos (capability or capacity to function effectively) onoma (name) kuriou (Lord, Master) auto (His) de prosdramontes (AAP) (to run to, toward) dikaioi (righteous) huphosuntai (3PPPPI) (lift up, raise high - see word study on hupsoo) Translation of Greek (my version): Of great strength, power, might is the Name of the Lord, and the righteous who run towards it are continually lifted up, raised high, exalted. Amplified: The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the [consistently] righteous man [upright and in right standing with God] runs into it and is safe, high [above evil] and strong. (Amplified Bible - Lockman) ESV: The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. (ESV) Easy English: God is like a strong castle. Good men are safe, when they trust in God. HCSB: The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are protected.

NET: The name of the LORD is like [supplied for the sake of clarity] a strong tower; the righteous person runs to it and is set safely on high.

Consider taking a moment before you read the comments on Pr 18:10 and listen to the simple vocalization of the Names of God by Laurell Hubick, even as you perhaps recall some of Jehovah's Names that may have been important in your life journey. Consider viewing the video in full screen to allow you to focus more fully on His Names. As an aside, the Names of God would make an excellent backdrop for a time of "remembrance of" Christ, the Name above all names, as you celebrate the Lord's Supper with other brethren in Christ. May God grant us the Spirit's enabling grace and power to daily live our lives as an act of worship to His holy Name in everything we think, say and do for His glory. Amen. THE NAME OF THE LORD: WHAT IS IN A NAME? So what is in a name? Remember to begin your study of a passage with prayer asking your Teacher the Spirit (1Jn 2:20, 28, 1Cor 2:12-16) to illuminate the text as you begin to simply observe what God says (avoiding the temptation to move to what God means [interpretation] before you have accurately assessed what God says! For help see Observation - Interrogation with 5W'S & H) Jamieson - name of the Lord = manifested perfections (Psalm 8:1-note; Psalm 20:2-note), as faithfulness, power, mercy, etc., on which men rely. Safe = literally, “set on high, out of danger” (Psalm 18:2-note; Psalm 91:4-note). Hawker - The name of the Lord, i.e. the Lord, as he hath revealed himself in his works, and especially in his word by his promises, and the declarations of his infinite perfections, and of his good will to his people In who though they live in a gross neglect and contempt of God, will expect salvation from him. A C Gaebelein - The Name (Ha-Shem, in Hebrew) stands for Jehovah Himself. He is the place of refuge, of shelter, protection and safety for all who in faith turn to Him. In Him is our peace and safety. The Hebrew meaning of “is safe” is “set on high.” Even so if we flee to Him and become His, we are exalted in Him, seated in Christ in heavenly places (Eph 2:6-note). Daniel Whedon - Meaning Himself, as He is revealed to man in His faithfulness, love, compassion, power, etc. “May the Name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high!” Psalms 20:1-note. G Campbell
