Psalm 146:5-9

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 146:1-10

The Grand Doxology Psalms 146-150 How could the Book of Psalms end but in this way? Psalms cannot end in prose. Whether the arrangement is mechanical or inspired, it is the best possible. There is a fitness of things, and that fitness is realised in this peroration. It is as if a great broad river had suddenly become a resounding cascade; these five psalms are the final cataract. The Psalmist will have everything pressed into the choir. He will not have a small band. He ranges creation... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 146:5-10

There can be no hesitation to determine to whom these verses refer. The God of Jacob, is God's Covenant name in Christ. And the offices that covenant God hath performed, and is performing, as plainly manifest the Lord Jesus. See Isaiah 61:1 , compared with Luke 4:18-19 . And he that in the days of his flesh opened the eyes of the blind; and now in the day of his power openeth the eyes of the soul, is the King of Zion upon his holy hill; and will be Zion's Husband, Lord, and Redeemer, forever... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 146:5

Power. God the Son. Earthly monarchs are forced to depend on others for the execution of their orders. But God is infinite. (Calmet) --- Number. He knows innumerable things: (Worthington) or rather, (Haydock) the divine wisdom hath no parts, Jeremias x. 6. (Berthier) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 146:8

Clouds. This is represented as something wonderful, (Job v. 9., and xxxvii. 6.) though conformable to the laws of nature. The preservation of things is like a new creation. (Calmet) --- And the herb, &c. Herbam, (Psalm ciii. 14.; Haydock) is now wanting in Hebrew, as it was in the days of St. Jerome and the Chaldean, though the Septuagint, Aquila, &c., read it, and it is not probable that they would borrow it from another psalm. (Berthier) --- Their copies must therefore have varied.... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 146:9

Young. Literally, "the sons of ravens," which may denote those birds in general, as well as their young. God provides for all. Many fables have been recounted concerning ravens, as if they neglected or forgot their young ones; and the Hebrews seem to have entertained some of these opinions, to which the sacred writers conform themselves, Job xxxviii. 41. (Calmet) --- St. Luke (xii. 24.) specifies ravens, though St. Matthew (vi. 26.) has the birds, when relating the same speech. --- Upon him,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 146:5-10

5-10 The psalmist encourages us to put confidence in God. We must hope in the providence of God for all we need as to this life, and in the grace of God for that which is to come. The God of heaven became a man that he might become our salvation. Though he died on the cross for our sins, and was laid in the grave, yet his thoughts of love to us did not perish; he rose again to fulfil them. When on earth, his miracles were examples of what he is still doing every day. He grants deliverance to... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 146:1-10

A Hallelujah to the True Helper. This psalm, whose author is not known, is the first of the five Hallelujah Psalms with which the psalter closes, an invitation to praise the Lord for the merciful and faithful exercise of His power, especially in acts of kindness to the needy. v. 1. Praise ye the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul, this invitation, addressed to himself, placing the poet in the right mood to continue his hymn with all the vigor of a heart charged with the consciousness of God's... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 146:1-10

Psalms 146:01 Praise ye the Lord.Praise the Lord, O my soul.2 While I live will I praise the Lord:I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.3 Put not your trust in princes,Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;In that very day his thoughts perish.5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,Whose hope is in the Lord his God:6 Which made heaven, and earth,The sea, and all that therein... read more
