Psalm 145:2

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 145:1-9

I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:2

Every day will I bless thee ,.... For new mercies had every morning; for fresh supplies of grace every day, which all come from the fulness of Christ, to whom all grace is given, and from whence it is received, and in whom all spiritual blessings are, and by whom they are bestowed; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever ; as long as he lived in this world, and to all eternity in the world to come. David understood the doctrine of the saints' perseverance, and knew he should not be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 145:1-21

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

God's greatness, goodness, and glory. "Every one who repeats the Tehillah of David thrice a day, may be sure that he is a child of the world to come." I. GOD 'S GREATNESS . ( Psalms 145:1-6 .) 1. Unsearchable . ( Psalms 145:3 .) No searching can reach its bottom ( Isaiah 40:28 ; Job 11:7 ). 2. It is , nevertheless , being continually revealed in history . ( Psalms 145:4 .)

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 145:2

Every day will I bless thee ... - Compare Psalms 92:2; Psalms 55:17. As we receive blessings from God every day (compare Lamentations 3:23), it is proper that we should render to him daily thanks; as God is the same always - “yesterday, today, and forever” - it is proper that he should receive from day to day the tribute of praise; as we are daily dependent on him - one day as much as another - our recognition of that dependence should be daily; and as he will always be unchangeably the same,... read more

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
