|
<p id="Ps111_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',111,'1-10');">Psa 111:1-10</a>.
|
|
<p>The Psalmist celebrates God's gracious dealings with His people, of which a summary statement is given.
|
|
<p><b>1. Praise ye the Lord</b>—or, <i>Hallelujah</i> (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',104,35);">Psa 104:35</a>). This seems to serve as a title to those of the later Psalms, which, like this, set forth God's gracious government and its blessed fruits. This praise claims the
|
|
<br><br><b>whole heart</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',86,12);">Psa 86:12</a>), and is rendered publicly.
|
|
<br><br><b>upright</b>—a title of the true Israel (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',32,11);">Psa 32:11</a>).
|
|
<p id="Ps111_2"><b>2.</b> His works—that is, of providence and grace are
|
|
<br><br><b>sought</b>—or, carefully studied, by all desiring to know them.
|
|
<p id="Ps111_3"><b>3, 4. honourable and glorious</b>—literally, "honor and majesty," which illustrate His glorious perfections.
|
|
<br><br><b>righteousness</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',7,17);">Psa 7:17</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',31,1);">31:1</a>), which He has made memorable by wonders of love and mercy, in supplying the wants of His people according to covenant engagements.
|
|
<p id="Ps111_6"><b>6-8.</b> His power was shown especially in giving them the promised land, and His faithfulness and justice thus displayed are, like His precepts, reliable and of permanent obligation.
|
|
<p id="Ps111_9"><b>9.</b> The deliverance He provided accorded to His established covenant. Thus He manifested Himself in the sum of His perfections (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',20,1, 7);">Psa 20:1, 7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',22,3);">22:3</a>) worthy of reverence.
|
|
<p id="Ps111_10"><b>10.</b> And hence love and fear of such a God is the chief element of true wisdom (compare <a onclick="return mV('Pro',1,7);">Pro 1:7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Pro',9,10);">9:10</a>).
