Psalm 150

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 150:6

Psalms BLESSEDNESS AND PRAISE Psa_1:1 - Psa_1:2 . - Psa_150:6 . The Psalter is the echo in devout hearts of the other portions of divine revelation. There are in it, indeed, further disclosures of God’s mind and purposes, but its especial characteristic is-the reflection of the light of God from brightened faces and believing hearts. As we hold it to be inspired, we cannot simply say that it is man’s response to God’s voice. But if the rest of Scripture may be called the speech of the... read more

the Praise-Songs of God’s People Psalms 149:1-9 ; Psalms 150:1-6 Israel was formed into a nation and delivered from Babylon, that her singers should lead the praises of mankind, and her teachers provide the metaphors and phrases for the world’s religious nurture. “This people have I made for myself,” said the Most High, “that they might show forth my praise.” Is it not also our Christian duty to be joyful in our King? Our religious life has not enough ecstasy and gladness in it to attract... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 150:1-6

This psalm which concludes the book, and all the Psalter as final doxology, is the most comprehensive, and illuminative illustration of perfect praise in the whole Psalter. In our analysis of it as doxology at the beginning of the book, its essential values are stated. The central place of prayer is the sanctuary, that is, the place of Divine manifestation, whether the earthly temple or the heavenly, matters nothing. The circumference is the firmament of His power which is the outer confine of... read more

HALLELUJAH!‘O praise God in His holiness: praise Him in the firmament of His power,’ etc.Psalms 150:1-Leviticus :; Psalms 150:6 (Prayer Book Version) I. Consider the nature of praise.—(1) From such passages as Isaiah 6:1-Leviticus :, Revelation 4:8; Revelation 14:1-Leviticus :, we collect with certainty thus much: that praise is the main element of the homage of saints and angels in the eternal world. And indeed it is difficult to imagine what besides it could be. The worship which created... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 150:1-6

CL. Each book ends with a doxology. Here we have a much longer doxology, which closes Book V and the whole Psalter also. The praise of God begins from His sanctuary, i.e. probably from His sanctuary in heaven, not from the Temple on Zion.( See also Supplement) read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 150

Psalms 150:0 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm agrees much with the former, and is an invitation to all men to praise God, and especially to the Levites, or those of them who were appointed to this work, as may be gathered both from the place in which they are to praise him, which is, according to our translation, in his sanctuary, Psalms 150:1, and from that great variety of instruments here mentioned, all which were frequently used in their temple service, and seldom elsewhere. An exhortation to praise... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 150:1

In his sanctuary; in his temple, where this work was to be performed constantly and solemnly. Or, who dwelleth in his sanctuary. So it describeth and limiteth the object of their praises. Or, for (as this particle is used in the next verse) his sanctuary, for this great favour of placing his sanctuary and dwelling-place amongst men. In the firmament of his power; in his heavenly mansion, there let the blessed angels praise him. Or, who dwelleth in the firmament, or spreading forth of his power,... read more
