Psalm 147:5-7 ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 147:1-11

Here, I. The duty of praise is recommended to us. It is not without reason that we are thus called to it again and again: Praise you the Lord (Ps. 147:1), and again (Ps. 147:7), Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving, sing praise upon the harp to our God (let all our praises be directed to him and centre in him), for it is good to do so; it is our duty, and therefore good in itself; it is our interest, and therefore good for us. It is acceptable to our Creator and it answers the end of our... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 147:5

Great is our Lord, and of great power ,.... "Our Lord" is our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of the whole earth; the Lord of his own people by creation, by redemption, by marriage, and by the conquest of his grace, and their voluntary submission to him; he is "great" in his person, offices, and grace, and therefore greatly to be praised; see Psalm 145:3 ; and particularly his "power" is very "great", as appears in the creation of all things out of nothing by him; in the sustaining and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 147:6

The Lord lifteth up the meek ,.... The lowly and humble souls, such as are made so by the Spirit of God; he shows them their sinfulness, and want of righteousness; the insufficiency of their own, and need of Christ's; blowing a blast upon all their goodliness, so bringing down their natural pride and haughtiness, and causing them to submit to Christ, that he alone might be exalted; such as learn of him, who is meek and lowly, and become the followers of the humble Jesus; who being partakers... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 147:7

Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving ,.... These are the words of the psalmist unto the Israelites, according to Aben Ezra and Kimchi; but may be an exhortation to all men, especially good men; who are capable of observing the following things concerning providential goodness and special grace, on account of which they are called upon to "sing unto the Lord": or to "answer" F17 ענו "respondete", Montanus, Cocceius; "alternis canite", Tigurine version, Piscator, Michaelis. ; to sing... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 147:6

Verse 6 6.Raising up, etc. The ascription of this to God fitly tends to confirm our hope under affliction, and prevent our souls from fainting under the cross. From this we may infer that although our fathers who lived under the Law were more gently dealt with, they knew something at least of that warfare with which God daily exercises us, in order to make us seek our true rest elsewhere than in this world. Should a doubt steal upon the minds of those who have been brought under heavy... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 147:7

Verse 7 7.Sing to Jehovah in thanksgiving Again he exhorts to sing the praises of God, intimating at the same time that abundant matter was not wanting, since new proofs still meet our eyes of his power, goodness, and wisdom. First he tells us that he covers the heavens with clouds, and this change would awaken our attention, were we not chargeable with so much thoughtlessness. Various as are the marvels to be seen in the heavens above us, were the same serenity always to continue, we would not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 147:1-6

Jehovah the infinitely Mighty and Omniscient One, in the creation and in the human world, worthy, therefore, of all praise and worship. "Celebrates God's almighty and gracious rule over his people, and over the world of nature, but mingles with this a special commemoration of his goodness in bringing back his people from their captivity, and rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem." I. GOD IS ALMIGHTY IN THE WORK OF THE MATERIAL UNIVERSE . 1. He created the... read more
