Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Ver. 1. Hallelujah] See Psalms 111:1 .
Praise, O ye servants of the Lord] None but such can do it, or are fit for it; and for such praise is comely, Psalms 147:1, as unthankfulness is an ugly sin, but especially in ministers, those servants of the Lord, by a specialty.
Praise the name of the Lord] Ter repetit, Trinitatem subindicando, saith one; others note that by this threefold Praise ye, the psalmist taxeth men's dulness, and exciteth their diligence to this divine duty.
