Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
Ver. 6. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord] Or, Let every breath praise the Lord. Tam Dei meminisse opus est quam respirare, saith Chrysostom. We have all as much reason to praise God as we have need to draw breath; our breath should be like the smoke of the tabernacle, or those pillars of incense therehence ascending. Tremellius rendereth it, Tota ipsa anima laudet Iah, Let the very whole soul of us praise the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord] The psalmist had made an end, and yet he hath not done. When we have said our utmost for God's praise we must rest uusatisfied, and begin anew.
Hoc primum repetas opus, hoc postremus omittas.
