Psalm 145:5 NIV

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 145:5

I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty ,.... Of the majesty of the divine Person of Christ; of the honour due unto him; of the glory of him as of the only begotten of the Father, as he is the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person; of his glory as Mediator, and the honour that belongs to him as such, with which he is now crowned at the right hand of the Majesty on high, angels, authorities, and powers, being subject unto him as the Lord and King of glory; ... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 145:1-21

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 .) One generation declares it to another, through all the successive ages. 3. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 145:3-13

The greatness of God. In this exquisite psalm the greatness and the goodness of God are celebrated, and the writer passes so freely from one to another, that it is very difficult to keep them separate. Nor is there much need to do so; for God's greatness, his glory, is in his goodness ( Exodus 33:19 ), and the two are really inseparable. Endeavoring, however, to look at them apart, we are here reminded of— I. HIS MAJESTY . We read of "the splendor of the glory of his majesty" ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 145:5

I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works (comp. Psalms 26:7 ; Psalms 71:17 ). It was the duty of every faithful Israelite to set forth God's majesty, and to "declare his works with rejoicing" ( Psalms 117:2 ). David proclaims himself ready to perform this duty. Then, he thinks, others will join in. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 145:5-6

The one and the many. It is interesting to note the alternations in this psalm, as in numerous others, of the one and the many. The psalmist declares what he himself will do, and then he tells also what the people at large will do. So it is here. The psalm opens with a personal declaration, "I will extol," etc.; "Every day will I bless," etc. Then in Psalms 145:4 he speaks of all the generations of men; then ( Psalms 145:5 ) he returns to himself and his own purposes; Psalms 145:6 ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 145:5

I will speak - That is, in my acts of praise. I will not be ashamed to be known as his worshipper; I will publicly declare my belief in his existence, his greatness, his goodness.Of the glorious honor of thy majesty - The glory of the honor of thy majesty. This accumulation of epithets shows that the heart of the psalmist was full of the subject, and that he labored to find language to express his emotions. It is beauty; it is glory; it is majesty: it is all that is great, sublime, wonderful -... read more
