Nehemiah 9:5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Then the Levites, Jeshua, &c., said, Stand up, and bless the Lord for ever and ever Praise him and give him thanks, as long as you have any being; and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise The super-excellent perfections of which, the noblest creatures cannot worthily magnify. The Levites, it is likely, praised him in these or such like words, in which all the people joined, either with their lips, or in their hearts.
