Psalms 138 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

The gods — Before kings and princes.

Temple — Where the ark was. He was not permitted to enter into it. Magnified — For thou hast glorified thy word or promise unto me more than any other of thy glorious perfections.

The kings — A prophecy of the calling of the Gentiles. Hear — The gospel preached among then.

The ways — His wonderful counsel and gracious providences.

Perfect — Will finish the great work of my deliverance. Forsake not — Or, do not give over, the work of my salvation, which is thus far advanced, not by any human help, but by thy power and providence.
