Psalms 48:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

According to thy name ... so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth - As thy manifested character (Psalms 20:1) is one of infinite majesty, power, and goodness, so is thy praise incapable of being adequately set forth; but so far as it is known, so far it is praised "unto the ends of the earth;" yea, 'over х `al (H5921)] the ends of the earth' (cf. Psalms 48:14, note). Hengstenberg takes it, 'As thou hast formerly, by thy deeds, obtained for thyself, far and wide, a glorious name, so hast thou NOW AGAIN filled the whole earth with thy praise. So above (Psalms 48:8); cf. 2 Chronicles 20:29 in confirmation.

Thy right hand is full of righteousness - namely, full of that righteousness whereby thou dost vindicate thy people's righteous cause (Psalms 35:28, note).
