Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 145:5-7

Psalms 145:5-7. I will speak of the glorious honour, &c. Here are divers words heaped together, to intimate that no words are sufficient to express the majesty of God.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:1-21

"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."
