Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 145:1-9

I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 145:10-21

The greatness and goodness of him who is optimus et maximus?the best and greatest of beings, were celebrated in the former part of the psalm; here, in these verses, we are taught to give him the glory of his kingdom, in the administration of which his greatness and goodness shine so clearly, so very brightly. Observe, as before, I. From whom the tribute of praise is expected (Ps. 145:10): All God's works shall praise him. They all minister to us matter for praise, and so praise him according... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:5

I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty ,.... Of the majesty of the divine Person of Christ; of the honour due unto him; of the glory of him as of the only begotten of the Father, as he is the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person; of his glory as Mediator, and the honour that belongs to him as such, with which he is now crowned at the right hand of the Majesty on high, angels, authorities, and powers, being subject unto him as the Lord and King of glory; ... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:6

And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts ,.... The terrible things of Christ, which his right hand has taught him, and his mighty power has performed; such as the destruction of a disobedient and ungodly world by a flood, to whom he preached by his Spirit in the days of Noah; the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah by raining on them fire and brimstone from the Lord out of heaven; and the dreadful things he did in Egypt and at the Red sea by the hands of Moses; these, men or saints... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:7

They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness ,.... Not only his essential goodness, or the perfections of his nature; nor his providential goodness only; but his special grace and goodness to his own people in becoming their surety, in assuming their nature, in laying down his life for them, in working out their salvation, in paying their debts, and providing for them food and raiment, and all things pertaining to life and godliness: which goodness is "great", inexpressibly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:8

The Lord is gracious ,.... These are the epithets of our Lord Jesus Christ, and may be truly and with great propriety said of him; he is "gracious", kind, and good, in the instances before mentioned; he is full of grace, and readily distributes it; his words are words of grace; his Gospel, and the doctrines of it, are doctrines of grace; his works are works of grace, all flowing from his wondrous grace and mercy: and full of compassion : or "merciful" F4 רחום "misericors", V. L.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:9

The Lord is good to all ,.... Which is to be understood not of the general and providential goodness of God to all men, to all his creatures, and the works of his hands; but of the special goodness of Christ before mentioned, Psalm 145:7 ; which extends to all the chosen people of God; who are all loved by Christ, redeemed by him, justified and glorified by him; and to Gentiles as well as Jews; for whom he tasted death, laid down his life a ransom for them, and became the propitiation... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:10

All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord ,.... Not all his works or creatures in general; though these do objectively praise him, or are the cause rather of others praising him on their account: but those who are in a special manner the works of his hands, of his powerful and efficacious grace; when he has formed for himself, that they may show forth his praise; such as are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people: these in an eminent sense, in the best way... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 145:8

The Lord is gracious - His holy nature is ever disposed to show favor. Full of compassion - Wherever he sees misery, his eye affects his heart. Slow to anger - When there is even the greatest provocation. Of great mercy - Great in his abundant mercy. These four things give us a wonderful display of the goodness of the Divine nature. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 145:9

The Lord is good to all - There is not a soul out of hell that is not continually under his most merciful regards; so far is he from willing or decreeing before their creation the damnation of any man. His tender mercies - His bowels of compassion are over all his works; he feels for his intelligent offspring, as the most affectionate mother does for the child of her own bosom. And through this matchless mercy, these bowels of compassion, his son Jesus tasted death for every man. How far... read more
