Psalm 145:15

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

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 145:1-21

The True Conception of God Psalms 145:4 It is needful to the understanding of this Psalm and its lesson that we should realize that the religion of separation has no place whatever in the spirit of it. The conception of God here is not a being whom men can obey while they separate themselves from all human interest. It is a conception of a God who brings man back again into human interests and uplifts and dignifies all that they have to do day by day. I. This Psalmist sees God where some of us... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:1-21

Psalms 145:1-21This is an acrostic psalm. Like several others of that kind, it is slightly irregular, one letter (Nun) being omitted. The omission is supplied in the LXX by an obviously spurious verse inserted in the right place between Psalms 145:13 and Psalms 145:14. Though the psalm has no strophical divisions, it has distinct sequence of thought, and celebrates the glories of Jehovah’s character and deeds from a fourfold point of view. It sings of His greatness (Psalms 145:1-6), goodness... read more

Psalm 143-145 In Psalms 143:1-12 the enemy is mentioned again, the enemy who pursued David. “For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have long been dead.” How this again reminds us of the death experience of the pious remnant when the man of sin, the Antichrist will rule in Israel’s land. Prayer for deliverance follows. Hear me speedily--Hide not Thy face from me--Cause me to hear Thy... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:1-21

Psalms 135:0 Praises God for choosing Jacob (Psalms 135:1-4 ), extols His power in the natural world (Psalms 135:5-7 ), and in the deliverance of His people from Egypt (Psalms 135:8-9 ) and bringing them into the promised land (Psalms 135:10-12 ). All this is in contrast to the vanity of idols (Psalms 135:13-18 ). Psalms 136:0 Is of the same character as the preceding, but is notable for the chorus attached to each verse a chorus with which we have become familiar in other psalms (Psalms 106:1... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 145:15-16

Here again I only detain the Reader to remark, that while we read these scriptures, which point out Jehovah as the universal parent of nature; what a glorious addition to the subject doth it become, to take into the contemplation Jehovah under those endearing characters, as the Father of mercies, and the God of all grace. What titles are these! And what a blessed thing, when we know him under those characters in our own experience. Reader! think of God the Father under those precious titles. As... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 145:10-21

10-21 All God's works show forth his praises. He satisfies the desire of every living thing, except the unreasonable children of men, who are satisfied with nothing. He does good to all the children of men; his own people in a special manner. Many children of God, who have been ready to fall into sin, to fall into despair, have tasted his goodness in preventing their falls, or recovering them speedily by his graces and comforts. And with respect to all that are heavy laden under the burden of... read more
