Psalm 145:7 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 145:7

They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness ,.... Not only his essential goodness, or the perfections of his nature; nor his providential goodness only; but his special grace and goodness to his own people in becoming their surety, in assuming their nature, in laying down his life for them, in working out their salvation, in paying their debts, and providing for them food and raiment, and all things pertaining to life and godliness: which goodness is "great", inexpressibly... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 145:7

Verse 7 7.They shall speak forth, etc. As the verb נבע, nabang, means properly to gush out, some suppose, that, as applied to speech, it means not simply speaking, but an overflowing utterance, like water rushing from a fountain, and the verb ירננו, yerannenu, in the close of the verse, answers to this, meaning to shout, or sing aloud. To celebrate the memory of the Lord’s goodness, is the same with recalling to memory what we have personally experienced of his goodness. We cannot deny God’s... 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 .) 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 145:6-7

God's greatness is goodness. "God's 'majesty' is his inherent greatness; his 'glory' is the manifestation of that majesty; and its 'splendor' in the brightness of this manifestation is seen by the eyes of men." "God declares his almighty power most chiefly in showing mercy and pity. The contemplation of simple majesty breathes awe; the sense of graciousness in majesty adds to it the glow of thankfulness." "If philosophy is to be believed, our world is but an outlying corner of creation;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 145:7

They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness ; literally, they shall pour forth— as a strong spring— the memory of thy great goodness ; i . e . the tale of all the mercies that thou hast vouchsafed them. And shall sing of thy righteousness ; i . e . shall sing hymns of praise for thy righteous dealings with them. read more
