Psalm 145:15

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 145:15

The universal dependence and expectation. "Man is master. But there is a great deal in this world besides man. Nature takes a thousand darlings to her bosom. Every evening motherly Darkness puts to bed myriads of unnamed children of the sod, of the leaf, of the tree, bush, moss, and stone. Every morn she sends again to awaken her brood, and troops them forth to their dewy breakfast. We sometimes get nearer to God in proportion as we get far from men. These neglected treasures of Nature are... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 145:15

The eyes of all wait upon thee - Margin, Look unto thee. All creatures, on the land, in the air, in the waters; all in heaven; all throughout the universe. That is, It is as if all directed their eyes to thee imploringly for the supply of their needs. To no one else can they look for those things which are needful for them. A universe thus looks every day, every hour, every moment, to its God! How sublime the scene!And thou givest them their meat in due season - See the notes at Psalms 104:27,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 145:14-16

Psalms 145:14-16. The Lord upholdeth all that fall All that look to him for help; indeed all that are upheld, whose support is not from themselves, or from men, but only from God’s powerful providence and grace. The eyes of all Of all living creatures; wait upon thee Expect their supplies wholly from thy bounty. Expectation is here figuratively ascribed to brute creatures, as Psalms 104:27, on which see note, and Romans 8:22. And givest them their meat in due season When they need it.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:1-21

Psalm 145-146 God is gracious and mercifulThe book of Psalms closes with six hymns of general praise. The first of these is David’s ‘Song of Praise’ and in the Hebrew is an acrostic. The other five have no titles, but each begins and ends with the words ‘Praise the Lord’.God is great and worthy to be the object of people’s praise, day and night, for ever and ever (145:1-3). Those who know God’s greatness should meditate upon it and proclaim it to others (4-7). Not only is God great, but he is... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 145:1-21

Psalms 145This acrostic psalm begins a series of six psalms, the last six in the Psalter, which are especially full of praise to God. The title, "a psalm of praise," occurs only here in the Book of Psalms. The word "praise" appears 46 times in the last six psalms. In this psalm David praised God for His powerful acts, for His mercy and grace, for His everlasting kingdom, and for His response to those who pray to Him. As such it resembles history psalms, but its genre is most similar to the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 145:13-16

The NASB translators did not translate the last portion of Psalms 145:13. It reads, "The LORD is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made" (NIV). The Septuagint translators supplied this verse to fill out the acrostic, the line beginning with the Hebrew letter nun being absent in the Hebrew text.God consistently sustains the fallen, uplifts the oppressed, and provides for all. Therefore, every person looks to God for His provision of his or her needs. Since God’s dominion... read more
