My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,.... Always, at all times, as long as he lived; and particularly when all the Lord's people shall be brought safe to glory, and the wicked destroyed; when,
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 145:21
Psalms 145:21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.Ver. 21. My mouth shall speak, &c.] This he had oft before promised; but engageth again, that he may not start back. And let all flesh] But especially men, good men; for high words beseem not a fool. But it well becometh the saints to be thankful, nec servire Deo solum sedet adulari, as Tertullian speaks.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 145:21
(21) Holy name.—As in Psalms 33:21; Psalms 103:1; Psalms 105:3.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 145:21
Verse 21. Let all flesh bless his holy name] He is good to all, wants to save all, actually feeds and preserves all. And as near as שמר shamar is to שמד shamad, so near is he a Saviour to those who stand on the brink of destruction, if they will look to him. For the application of all this Psalm to the Church of Christ, see the analysis. ANALYSIS OF THE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIFTH PSALM This hymn is most excellent, both as it regards matter and style. The matter is praise to God; the style, the Hebrew alphabet, the better to assist our memories in recording God's praise. This Psalm contains, - I. A proem, or protestation to praise God, Psalms 145:1-2. II. A celebration of Divine praises through the whole Psalm, from these arguments: - I.
From the greatness of God, Psalms 145:3. II. From his wonderful works, Psalms 145:4, which he distinguishes under the following heads: - 1. They are glorious and beautiful, majestic and wonderful, Psalms 145:5. 2. Marvellous, and full of terror, Psalms 145:6. 3. Amiable, and full of goodness, Psalms 145:7-9. But all wonderful. III. From his kingdom, and government of it, and in it, Psalms 145:10-21. IV.
A conclusion, Psalms 145:21, in which he performs his protestation of praising God. I. In the two first verses the psalmist acquaints us what he will do with the whole. 1. "I will extol, I will bless, I will praise." 2. "Thee, my God, my King." I am thy servant, though an earthly king. 3. "Every day," c. No day shall pass without my praising thee. 4. "For ever and ever." I shall now begin, and a succession of men will continue to hymn and praise thee till the consummation of all things. II. The first thing he praises God for is his essence.
Great. I. "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised." Of course this follows: - "And his greatness is unsearchable." Past our weak capacity to comprehend higher than the heavens, deeper than hell, having no end. Or if great here refer to him as King, then in respect to the extension of his empire over every living creature, he is great; he rules over the hearts of the children of men, over their thoughts and affections, and nothing is hidden from his sight. II. From the essence of God the psalmist passes to his works and effects, which yet set forth his praise: "One generation shall praise," c. Each age is an eyewitness of thy mighty acts and mercy. From a general consideration of these works he then particularizes: - 1. "For the heavens declare," c. The sun, moon, and stars, in their splendour, magnitude, and perpetual motion, show forth God's honour and majesty. 2.
A second kind of works are the terrible acts of his justice, such as the deluge, the fire of Sodom, Pharaoh's overthrow in the Red Sea, the earth opening to swallow up Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 145:21
21. Israel’s own resolution is fixed; but nothing less can satisfy its aspirations than a universal and unending chorus of praise from all mankind, evoked by the revelation of His absolute and perfect holiness.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 145:21
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord - That is, I will utter his praise. In view of all these things, in view of his character and doings, I will praise him.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 145:21
21. David comes to the end of the Hebrew alphabet, but not to the end of his gratitude and praise. All flesh, here, means all the human race.
