George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 147:9
PSALM CXLVII. (LAUDA JERUSALEM.) The Church is called upon to praise God for his peculiar graces and favours to his people. In the Hebrew, this psalm is joined to the foregoing. or Hebrew Psalm cxlvii. Ver. 20. Them. He hath not announced his decrees to them. This glory was reserved for Israel, Deuteronomy iv. 7. (Calmet) --- The written law was granted to the latter. Yet God had sufficiently manifested his will to all mankind, so that they must also appear before his tribunal. (St.... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 147:1-11
1-11 Praising God is work that is its own wages. It is comely; it becomes us as reasonable creatures, much more as people in covenant with God. He gathers outcast sinners by his grace, and will bring them into his holy habitation. To those whom God heals with the consolations of his Spirit, he speaks peace, assures them their sins are pardoned. And for this, let others praise him also. Man's knowledge is soon ended; but God's knowledge is a dept that can never be fathomed. And while he telleth... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 147:12-20
12-20 The church, like Jerusalem of old, built up and preserved by the wisdom, power, and goodness of God, is exhorted to praise him for all the benefits and blessings vouchsafed to her; and these are represented by his favours in the course of nature. The thawing word may represent the gospel of Christ, and the thawing wind the Spirit of Christ; for the Spirit is compared to the wind, John 3:8. Converting grace softens the heart that was hard frozen, and melts it into tears of repentance, and... read more

Hallelujah to the God of Zion. A Hallelujah Psalm, setting forth God's providential care toward all creatures, but especially toward His people, His holy congregation. v. 1. Praise ye the Lord, the entire congregation of believers raising its voice to that end; for it is good to sing praises unto our God, with whom the believers are joined in the most intimate fellowship and proudly declare their possession of Him; for it is pleasant, and praise is comely, it is fitting and appropriate for... read more

Psalms 147:01 Praise ye the Lord:For it is good to sing praises unto our God;For it is pleasant; And praise is comely.2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem:He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.3 He healeth the broken in heart,And bindeth up their wounds.4 He telleth the number of the stars;He calleth them all by their names.5 Great is our Lord, and of great power:His understanding is infinite.6 The Lord lifteth up the meek:He casteth the wicked down to the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 147:1-11
Why We Praise the Lord Psalms 147:1-11 It has been supposed that this psalm was prepared for use when the new walls of the city were completed in the days of Nehemiah. It contains a further enumeration of God’s present tenses. The psalmist never tires of celebrating the immediateness of God. He will not tolerate the intervention of second causes, which are the artifice of scientific explanation. Laws are, after all, only the convenient statement of the regularity of God’s methods. The... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 147:12-20
Peace and Prosperity Psalms 147:12-20 From Psalms 147:12 on there is a more personal address to Jerusalem and Zion. The thee and thou justify the application of the psalm to the spiritual condition of the Church and the individual. God’s work in nature illustrates His dealings with His children. Are we strengthened against temptation, as a city with bars and bolts, blessed with peace, and filled with the fine flour of gospel truth? It is because He hath so appointed it by His commandment... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 147:1-20
In this psalm, beginning with a call which declares the pleasantness and comeliness of praise (v. Psa 147:1 ), the singer first celebrates the Divine activity in restoring His people (vv. Psa 147:2-6 ). He then proceeds to declare how God provides for all human needs (vv. Psa 147:7-11 ); and finally rejoices in the perfection of His government (vv. Psa 147:12-20 ). In the first movement dealing with the restoration of Israel, there is a very beautiful suggestion of the inter- relation of the... read more
