Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 145:1-4

Psalms 145:1-4. I will extol thee, my God, O King Or, my God, the king; termed so by way of eminence; the King of kings, the God by whom kings reign, and to whom I and all other kings owe subjection and obedience. Every day will I bless thee Praising God should be our daily work. No day should pass, though never so busy on the one hand, or sorrowful on the other, without it. We ought to reckon it the most necessary of our daily business, and the most delightful of our daily comforts.... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 145:1

PSALM 145JEHOVAH EXTOLLED FOR HIS GOODNESS AND POWERThis is the last of the psalms in Book V which are ascribed to David; but it is impossible to determine the occasion of it with any certainty. "Like Psalms 25 and Psalms 34, which are also Davidic, this psalm is an acrostic, and like them it is incomplete, the letter `nun' being omitted."[1] Addis noted that the Septuagint (LXX) supplies the missing line beginning with "nun." "It came after Psalms 145:13 and reads, `Faithful is Yahweh in his... read more

Psalms 145:0. David praiseth God for his fame, for his goodness, for his kingdom, for his providence, and for his saving mercy. David's Psalm of praise. Title. לדוד תהלה tehillah ledavid.— It has been thought that David composed this admirable hymn, after he had obtained those favours of God for himself, and for the nation, which he begs in the foregoing psalm; in the 9th verse whereof it is imagined by some that he promises this psalm; concerning which many of the ancient Hebrews were wont to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 145:1-2

David resolved to praise the Lord daily and forever. The reasons follow."When one has come to the point of knowing the Lord in a personal way, the desire to sing His praise and sing it often becomes very strong." [Note: Leupold, p. 975.] Observant Jews used to repeat this psalm three times a day: twice in the morning and once in the evening. [Note: Ibid.] 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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 145:1-21

This is an alphabetic Ps., but the v. with the letter Nun, which should come after Psalms 145:13, has been lost. It is a noble Ps., celebrating the praise of God as the bountiful Giver of all good things, used in the Jewish church at morning service, and worthy to be used in all the churches. It is the last Ps. ascribed to David in the Psalter.5. RV ’of the glorious majesty of thine honour and of thy wondrous works will I meditate.’13. Here LXX adds the missing v., as follows: ’Jehovah is... read more
