Psalms 145:1-3. I will extol thee, my God, O king, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
Such as the Lord is, such should his worship be. If he were a little God, he would deserve little praise; but the great God is "greatly to be praised." There is no fear of going to any excess in our praises; we must never laud him too highly, however lofty our expressions may be. "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable." David knew what it was to be himself searched by God and he prayed, "Search me, O God;" but he could not search the greatness of his God. There, he was utterly lost, the utmost range of his faculties could not compass the greatness of Jehovah: "his greatness is unsearchable."
