George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:1

Of, &c. This addition of the Septuagint intimates that these prophets would thus exhort the people to trust in Providence, and to prefer his service before worldly cares. See Psalm cxxxvi. (Worthington) --- They might compose this psalm after Cyrus had revoked the permission to build the temple, (ver. 2., and 1 Esdras i. 3., and iv. 4.) as the following psalms seem all to have been sung at the dedication of the walls. (Calmet) --- This might be the case, but the titles afford but a slender... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:3

Children. Hebrew, "sons of Adam." the greatest prince is of the same frail condition as other men. He is not always willing, nor able to save. He must die, and all his project cease. (Haydock) --- If we could have depended on any, Cyrus seemed to be the person. Yet he has been deceived, and now forbids the building of a temple. We must, however, be grateful for the liberty which we enjoy by the goodness of God. (Calmet) --- In one Son of man (Christ) we may trust; not because he is the Son of... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:4

Forth. From the body, which shall be consigned to the earth from which it was taken, Ecclesiastes xii. 7. --- And he. Man, (Calmet) or each of the princes, (Haydock) with respect to the body. (Worthington) --- It does not refer to the spirit, which in Hebrew is feminine. (Calmet) --- It is the want of faith, which causes people to confide in great ones, rather than in Providence. (St. Augustine) --- Thoughts. Projects of ambition, &c. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 145:1-9

1-9 Those who, under troubles and temptations, abound in fervent prayer, shall in due season abound in grateful praise, which is the true language of holy joy. Especially we should speak of God's wondrous work of redemption, while we declare his greatness. For no deliverance of the Israelites, nor the punishment of sinners, so clearly proclaims the justice of God, as the cross of Christ exhibits it to the enlightened mind. It may be truly said of our Lord Jesus Christ, that his words are words... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 145:1-9

God’s Unsearchable Greatness Psalms 145:1-9 This psalm is an acrostic, the verses beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The couplet for the fourteenth letter, Nun, between Psalms 145:13-14 , has no place in the text. Some versions have supplied the omission as follows: “The Lord is faithful in all His words and holy in all His works.” This is virtually a repetition of Psalms 145:17 . The word all is characteristic of this psalm. It was the Te Deum of the Hebrew... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 145:1-21

This is a great psalm of praise standing alone, and serving as an introduction to the last five, which constitute the final anthem of thanksgiving, the expression of perfected praise. It is a solo, but the singer is singing not for himself alone, but for others. The peoples are in mind. It has three movements; an introduction (vv. Psa 145:1-4 ); a statement of theme (vv. Psa 145:5-9 ); and the full exercise of thanksgiving (vv. Psa 145:10-21 ). The introduction speaks of determination to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 145:1-21

CXLV. The Nature of Yahweh.— This Ps., which borrows from very late sources ( Psalms 145:13, e.g. is translated verbally from the Aramaic of Daniel 4:3), is a useful summary of the Divine attributes, as a pious Jew conceived them. For God is mighty and glorious, kindly and compassionate. At the same time, He will destroy the wicked. The Ps. is alphabetical, each verse beginning with a letter of the Heb. alphabet in due succession. By some accident the letter Nun is omitted, but the lost... read more
