Psalms 145:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

PSALM 145 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm and the rest which follow to the end are wholly laudatory, setting forth the praises of God. The excellency of this Psalm appears not only from the opinion of the Hebrew writers, but also from the care which the psalmist took to digest it into such accurate and alphabetical order, that it might be more easily fixed in the mind and memory of the reader. David magnifieth God for his greatness and terrible acts, Psalms 145:1-7; for his goodness and everlasting kingdom, Psalms 145:8-13; for his care and providence over all, Psalms 145:14-16; and for his saving mercies to them that fear him, Psalms 145:17-21. O King; or, the King, by way of eminency; the King of kings, the God by whom kings reign, and to whom I and all other kings owe subjection and obedience.

Psalms 145:1

1 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
