Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 146:2

While I live will I praise the Lord ... - See the notes at Psalms 104:33, where the same language occurs substantially as in this verse: “I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.” The idea is, not merely that he would praise him during this life - short and fleeting as it is - but that as long as he had an existence - in the future world - forever he would praise him.Through every period of my lifeThy goodness I’ll pursue;And after death,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 146:1-10

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 146:1

PSALM 146PRAISE THE LORD FOR WHAT HE DOESWe have already reviewed Psalms 113-118, which are called a "Hallel" in the Jewish tradition; and that collection also includes the last five psalms in the Psalter.[1]Each of these last five psalms begins and ends with the words, "Praise ye the Lord" (KJV), "Praise ye Jehovah" (American Standard Version), "Praise the Lord" (RSV, the Good News Bible), or "Praise the Eternal" (Moffatt). All of these renditions are derived from a single Hebrew word,... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 146:1

Psalms 146:0. The Psalmist voweth perpetual praises to God: he exhorteth not to trust in man. God for his power, justice, mercy, and kingdom, is only worthy to be trusted. THESE five last psalms are particularly stiled the Hallelujahs, because they both begin and end with that word. The Vulgate, LXX, and other ancient versions, ascribe this psalm to Haggai and Zechariah. It was probably written after the captivity, when the Jews found it was in vain to rely upon the favour of princes; some of... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 146:1-10

Psalms 146An anonymous psalmist promised to praise the Lord forever because of His greatness and His grace. His faithfulness to the oppressed of the earth-as Creator-is the particular emphasis in this psalm. Each of the last five psalms in the Psalter (Psalms 146-150) begins and ends with a charge to "Praise the Lord!" ("Hallelujah!")."These five psalms are a short course in worship, and God’s people today would do well to heed their message." [Note: Wiersbe, The . . . Wisdom . . ., p. 377.]... read more
