Salmos 146:1-4 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 146:1-4

David is supposed to have penned this psalm; and he was himself a prince, a mighty prince; as such, it might be thought, 1. That he should be exempted from the service of praising God, that it was enough for him to see that his priests and people did it, but that he needed not to do it himself in his own person. Michal thought it a disparagement to him to dance before the ark; but he was so far from being of this mind that he would himself be first and foremost in the work, Ps. 146:1, 2. He... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 146:1

Praise ye the Lord ,.... Or, "hallelujah"; which, in the Greek and Vulgate Latin versions, is the title of the psalm; but is rather the beginning of it; and is an exhortation to men, especially to the saints, to praise the Lord, the Lord Christ, the Lord of the world, who has created it and upholds it; the Lord of lords, David's Lord; and the Lord of all his people, by creation, redemption, and grace; and from whom they receive all blessings and mercies, temporal and spiritual, and are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 146:2

While I live will I praise the Lord ,.... As he had good reason to do, since he had his life from him, and was upheld in it by him; who also favoured him with the mercies and comforts of life; and that every day, being renewed to him every morning, and continued all the days of his life; which determined him throughout the whole of it to praise the Lord: nay, he had his spiritual life from him, with all the blessings of it; which are lasting, everlasting ones, and had hope of eternal life... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 146:3

Put not your trust in princes ,.... Not in foreign princes, in alliances and confederacies with them; nor in any at home. David did not desire his people to put their trust in him, nor in his nobles and courtiers; but in the Lord Christ, who, as he is the object of praise, is also the proper object of trust. Princes, though ever so liberal and bountiful, as their name signifies, and therefore called benefactors, Luke 22:25 or ever so mighty and powerful, wise and prudent, yet are not to be... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 146:4

His breath goeth forth ,.... That is, the breath of a son of man, of any and everyone of the princes; it goes forth continually, and is drawn in again as long as a man lives; but at death it goes forth, and returns no more till the resurrection: the breath which the Lord breathed into man, and which is in his nostrils while he lives, and is very precarious. And when it is taken away, he dies, and he returneth to his earth ; from whence he was taken, and of which he was made; upon which... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 146:2

While I live will I praise - The true feeling of a heart overpowered with a sense of God's goodness. While I have any being - בעודי beodi , in my continuance, in my progression, my eternal existence. This is very expressive. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 146:3

Put not your trust in princes - This may refer, as has been stated above, to Cyrus, who had revoked his edict for the rebuilding of Jerusalem. Perhaps they had begun to suppose that they were about to owe their deliverance to the Persian king. God permitted this change in the disposition of the king, to teach them the vanity of confidence in men, and the necessity of trusting in himself. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 146:4

His breath goeth forth - His existence depends merely, under God, on the air he breathes. When he ceases to respire he ceases to live; his body from that moment begins to claim its affinity to the earth; and all his thoughts, purposes, and projects, whether good or evil, come to nought and perish. He, then, who has no other dependence, must necessarily be miserable. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 146:1

Verse 1 1.Praise Jehovah. The five last Psalms close with the same word with which they begin. (286) But having in general called upon all to praise God, he addresses himself, or, which is the same thing, his soul, only that under the name of soul he addresses his inward self more emphatically. We may infer from this, that the influence which moved him was not volatile and superficial, (as many will blame themselves with remissness on this point, and then immediately lapse into it again,) but a... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 146:3

Verse 3 3.Trust not in princes This admonition is appropriately inserted, for one means by which men blind themselves is that of involving their minds through a number of inventions, and being thus prevented from engaging in the praises of God. That God may have the whole praise due to him, David exposes and overthrows those false stays on which we would otherwise be too much disposed to trust. His meaning is, that we should withdraw ourselves from man in general, but he names princes, from... read more
