I will extol thee, my God, O King ,.... Or "the King" F1 המלך "rex", Tigurine version, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. , the King Messiah, who is by way of eminency called "the King", as in Psalm 21:1 . This is the foundation of this whole psalm, as Aben Ezra observes; and shows who is intended and who is the subject of it that is spoken of throughout, even the Messiah, who is the King of the world, the King of the kings of it, the King of Zion, of his church and people, the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 145:1

I will extol thee - I will raise thee on high, I will lift thee up. I will bless thy name - ועד לעולם leolam vaed , for ever and onward, in this and the coming world. This sort of expressions, which are very difficult to be translated, are on the whole well expressed by those words, in a hymn of Mr. Addison: - Through all eternity to thee A joyful song I'll raise But O, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise! This contains a strong hyperbole; but allowable in such cases. read more

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

Verse 1 1.I will extol thee, my God and my king. David does not so much tell what he would do himself, as stir up and urge all others to this religious service of offering to God the praises due to his name. The design with which he declares God to be beneficent to the children of men is, to induce them to cultivate a pious gratitude, he insists upon the necessity of persevering in the exercise; for since God is constant in extending mercies, it would be highly improper in us to faint in his... read more

Our response to God. What feeling should the greatness and the goodness of God call forth from us, and how should we utter it? We will praise God in every way that is open to us. I. CONTINUALLY . ( Psalms 145:2 .) "Every day" will we bless him: his praise shall be "continually" in our mouth ( Psalms 34:1 ). Not that a man is necessarily more devout because the Name of God is always on his lips, but that the spirit of thankfulness should be always in the heart, and should... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 145:1-21

The Te Deum of the Old Testament. So this glorious psalm has been fitly named, and it is the germ of that great Christian hymn. "It is one, and the last, of the acrostic, or rather the alphabetic psalms, of which there are eight in all. Like four other of these, this bears the name of David, although some are of opinion that in this case the inscription is not to be trusted" (Perowne). One letter of the Hebrew alphabet—nun—is omitted; how this came to be, we cannot tell; the Septuagint,... read more
