Psalms Chapter 145
A Psalm of praise to God for His mighty, righteous, and gracious government of all men, and of His humble and suffering people in particular. (Psa. 145:1-21)
(Compare Psa 30:1).
bless thy name--celebrate Thy perfections (Psa 5:11). God is addressed as king, alluding to His government of men.
(Compare Psa 18:3; Psa 48:1).
greatness--as displayed in His works.
shall declare--literally, "they shall declare," that is, all generations.
I will speak--or, "muse" (Psa 77:12; Psa 119:15).
thy wondrous works--or, "words of thy wonders," that is, which described them (Psa 105:27, Margin).
terrible acts--which produce dread or fear.
memory-- (Psa 6:5), remembrance, or what causes to be remembered.
righteousness--as in Psa 143:1, goodness according to covenant engagement.
(Compare Psa 103:8; Psa 111:4).
over all, &c.--rests on all His works.
bless--as in Psa 145:1, to praise with reverence, more than merely to praise.
The declaration of God's glory is for the extension of His knowledge and perfections in the world.
(Compare Dan 4:3, Dan 4:34).
(Compare Psa 37:17; Psa 54:4).
eyes of . . . thee--or, look with expecting faith (Psa 104:27-28).
holy . . . works--literally, "merciful" or "kind, goodness" (Psa 144:2) is the corresponding noun.
righteous--in a similar relation of meaning to "righteousness" (Psa 145:7).
(Compare Psa 34:7, Psa 34:10).
Those who fear Him (Psa 145:19) are those who are here said to love Him.
(Compare Psa 33:21).
all flesh-- (Psa 65:2). The Psalm ends, as it began, with ascriptions of praise, in which the pious will ever delight to join.
