Psalm 145:4-6

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 145:4

145:4 One generation shall praise thy works to {c} another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.(c) Even as the reason for man’s creation and his preservation in this life is to praise God, therefore he requires that not only we ourselves do this, but cause all others to do the same. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:1-21

Psalms 135:0 Praises God for choosing Jacob (Psalms 135:1-4 ), extols His power in the natural world (Psalms 135:5-7 ), and in the deliverance of His people from Egypt (Psalms 135:8-9 ) and bringing them into the promised land (Psalms 135:10-12 ). All this is in contrast to the vanity of idols (Psalms 135:13-18 ). Psalms 136:0 Is of the same character as the preceding, but is notable for the chorus attached to each verse a chorus with which we have become familiar in other psalms (Psalms 106:1... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 145:3-7

I do not think it necessary to enlarge upon the several perfections of Jehovah, which the prophet celebrates through this Psalm; for in this case I should amplify the subject to an extent very great indeed. And moreover the hymn itself so beautifully and plainly sets forth these perfections of our God, that I cannot but conclude the Holy Ghost intimates, from the manner and method in which they are spoken of, as if his gracious intention were, while the people are reading or singing them, to... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:4

Forth. From the body, which shall be consigned to the earth from which it was taken, Ecclesiastes xii. 7. --- And he. Man, (Calmet) or each of the princes, (Haydock) with respect to the body. (Worthington) --- It does not refer to the spirit, which in Hebrew is feminine. (Calmet) --- It is the want of faith, which causes people to confide in great ones, rather than in Providence. (St. Augustine) --- Thoughts. Projects of ambition, &c. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 145:1-9

1-9 Those who, under troubles and temptations, abound in fervent prayer, shall in due season abound in grateful praise, which is the true language of holy joy. Especially we should speak of God's wondrous work of redemption, while we declare his greatness. For no deliverance of the Israelites, nor the punishment of sinners, so clearly proclaims the justice of God, as the cross of Christ exhibits it to the enlightened mind. It may be truly said of our Lord Jesus Christ, that his words are words... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 145:1-9

God’s Unsearchable Greatness Psalms 145:1-9 This psalm is an acrostic, the verses beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The couplet for the fourteenth letter, Nun, between Psalms 145:13-14 , has no place in the text. Some versions have supplied the omission as follows: “The Lord is faithful in all His words and holy in all His works.” This is virtually a repetition of Psalms 145:17 . The word all is characteristic of this psalm. It was the Te Deum of the Hebrew... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 145:1-21

This is a great psalm of praise standing alone, and serving as an introduction to the last five, which constitute the final anthem of thanksgiving, the expression of perfected praise. It is a solo, but the singer is singing not for himself alone, but for others. The peoples are in mind. It has three movements; an introduction (vv. Psa 145:1-4 ); a statement of theme (vv. Psa 145:5-9 ); and the full exercise of thanksgiving (vv. Psa 145:10-21 ). The introduction speaks of determination to... read more
