Psalm 145:1 through Psalm 145:8 (NIV)
1 I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you
and extol your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.
4 One generation will commend your works to another;
they will tell of your mighty acts.
5 They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
6 They will tell of the power of your awesome works,
and I will proclaim your great deeds.
7 They will celebrate your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in love.
Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
VERSES 1-9
Those who, under troubles and temptations, abound in fervent prayer, shall in
due season abound in grateful praise, which is the true language of holy joy.
Especially we should speak of God’s wondrous work of redemption, while we
declare his greatness. For no deliverance of the Israelites, nor the punishment
of sinners, so clearly proclaims the justice of God, as the cross of Christ
exhibits it to the enlightened mind. It may be truly said of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that his words are words of goodness and grace; his works are works of
goodness and grace. He is full of compassion; hence he came into the world to
save sinners. When on earth, he showed his compassion both to the bodies and
souls of men, by healing the one, and making wise the other. He is of great
mercy, a merciful High Priest, through whom God is merciful to sinners.
