O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. The 'works of Yahweh,' which are pronounced "great," are His doings for the deliverance of His people through the destruction of "the wicked," their enemies. The 'depth' of God's "thoughts" consists in their inexhaustible riches of wisdom and goodness, not perceived by the ungodly at all, and comprehended only in part by believers (Psalms 92:6; Psalms 40:5; Job 11:8; Romans 11:33, "O the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God, how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out;" also Isaiah 28:29). The depth of God's thoughts appears in this, that where the unrighteous seem to triumph, and the cause of the godly to be lost, the deliverance of the righteous and the destruction of the ungodly are unexpectedly brought about in vindication of the righteousness of God.
