Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 111:1-5

The title of the psalm being Hallelujah, the psalmist (as every author ought to have) has an eye to his title, and keeps to his text. I. He resolves to praise God himself, Ps. 111:1. What duty we call others to we must oblige and excite ourselves to; nay, whatever others do, whether they will praise God or no, we and our houses must determine to do it, we and our hearts; for such is the psalmist's resolution here: I will praise the Lord with my whole heart. My heart, my whole heart, being... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 111:5

He hath given meat - טרף tereph , Prey. This may allude to the quails in the wilderness. The word signifies what is taken in hunting - wild beasts, venison, or fowls of any kind; particularly such as were proper for food. It also signifies spoil taken from enemies. And he may also refer to the wondrous manner in which they were fed and supported during their captivity; and by his support he proved that he was mindful of his covenant. He had promised such blessings; he was faithful to his... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 111:5

Verse 5 5He hath given a portion to them that fear him The Church being a mirror of the grace and justice of God, what the prophet said respecting them is here expressly applied to her; not that he designs to treat of the justice of God, in general, but only of that which he peculiarly displays towards his own people. Hence he adds, that God’s care of his people is such as to lead him to make ample provision for the supply of all their wants. The word טרף, tereph, which we have translated... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 111:1-10

The work of God and the wisdom of man. The uniting thought in the psalm is the work of God. It is evident (see Psalms 111:5 , Psalms 111:6 , Psalms 111:9 ) that the writer has in view those special manifestations of Divine power by which the people of God were delivered and preserved. But we may well give a much wider application to the thought; we therefore think of— I. THE FOURFOLD WORK OF GOD . 1. In the broad field of nature; in the creation and formation of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 111:1-10

The works of the Lord. This is the theme of the psalm. These works are named six times in this short psalm. They are the occasion and cause of the fervent praise, and exhortation to praise, with which the psalm begins. It is one of the nine alphabetical psalms; that is, psalms so arranged for aiding the memory. Psalms 119:1-176 . is the most conspicuous instance of this. In the psalm before us the alphabet is not complete. An interesting and instructive study is to reproduce in English... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 111:1-10

The works of the Lord. I. GOD 'S WORK CLAIMS OUR EARNEST STUDY . 1. His work in nature . Presents three aspects. 2. His work in providence . God in history is working out a righteous government of the world. 3. His work in redemption . This the manifestation of his grandest power—the power of God unto salvation. Three kinds of power. II. GOD 'S WORKS ARE A REVELATION OF THE DIVINE THOUGHT AND NATURE . 1. They reveal his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 111:5

He hath given meat unto them that fear him . The manna may be primarily in the writer's mind, but he is also thinking of the "food given to all flesh" ( Psalms 136:25 ) continually. He will ever be mindful of his covenant . The covenant with Abraham, made "to a thousand generations" ( Psalms 105:8 ). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 111:5

Meat given to them that fear the Lord. I. LITERALLY , THE DECLARATION OF THE TEXT IS TRUE . Each harvest as it comes round, the daily supply of needed food, all are in evidence to support the declaration. Three facts are noted concerning this. 1. It is the Lord who is the Giver . To speak as so many do about nature and law, as if they were the producers of our food, is merely an evasion, and a not always creditable one, of the real truth. 2. The gift is the... read more
