They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness,.... Not only his essential goodness, or the perfections of his nature; nor his providential goodness only; but his special grace and goodness to his own people in becoming their surety, in assuming their nature, in laying down his life for them, in working out their salvation, in paying...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, Mark every word in this choice expression: “They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness.” They shall see this goodness, and they shall appreciate it as great goodness; they shall remember it, and so have the memory of God’s great goodness; and then they shall speak of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And shall sing of thy righteousness. The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; He has no passion, but he is full of compassion. What a mercy that is for us! Sometimes we hear persons say that God cannot do this or that,—that he cannot feel, and cannot suffer. That is not true, for he can do anything that he likes. A god who has no feeling is a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. What a beautiful expression! “They shall abundantly utter.” The original has in it the idea of bubbling up, boiling over, bursting out like a fountain; men’s hearts shall get to be so full of gratitude to God that they shall overflow with the memory...

The Lord [is] gracious,.... These are the epithets of our Lord Jesus Christ, and may be truly and with great propriety said of him; he is "gracious", kind, and good, in the instances before mentioned; he is full of grace, and readily distributes it; his words are words of grace; his Gospel, and the doctrines of it, are doctrines of grace; his...

Slow to anger, and of great mercy. Oh, what a blessing it is for you and for me that he is slow to anger!
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD is gracious, — That alone is enough to make us sinners sing, for we need grace, and “the Lord is gracious,” — Psa_145:8. And full of compassion; — There is no “passion” in him, but there is “compassion” in him; what a mercy that is for us! He is full of compassion;” — Psa_145:8. Slow to anger, and of great mercy. Hear that, ye great...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
The Lord [is] good to all,.... Which is to be understood not of the general and providential goodness of God to all men, to all his creatures, and the works of his hands; but of the special goodness of Christ before mentioned, Psalms 145:7; which extends to all the chosen people of God; who are all loved by Christ, redeemed by him, justified and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. Whether you search for the far-distant with a telescope, or peer into the minute with the microscope, the Lord’s tender mercies are found everywhere. Like the light, without which you see nothing, so is the mercy of God; it enlightens everything: “His tender mercies are over...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The Lord is good to all: Even to his enemies. Does not the dewdrop hang upon the thistle as well as upon the rose? Psa_145:9. And his tender mercies are over all his works. He cares for the worm in the sod and for the fish in the sea as well as for men upon the face of the earth.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord,.... Not all his works or creatures in general; though these do objectively praise him, or are the cause rather of others praising him on their account: but those who are in a special manner the works of his hands, of his powerful and efficacious grace; when he has formed for himself, that they may show...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee. “Standing in the inner circle, ‘thy saints’ shall mingle their love with their praise, and so ‘shall bless thee.’ Theirs shall be a choicer, tenderer worship than that of all ‘thy works’ besides.” The works of God are like a great organ, but it is man who puts his finger...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saint shall bless thee. Their voices can reach a higher note and a loftier strain than God’s works can ever reach: “thy saints shall bless thee.”
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,.... That is, the saints who are his special workmanship, in the celebration of his praise; and, while they are blessing him, will take particular notice, and make particular mention of his kingdom, and the glory of it; not only his kingdom of nature and providence, which ruleth over all, angels and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; I wish we did speak more of such subjects, and talk more upon these sacred themes. I do not think there is ever any deficiency of talk; but I am afraid there is a very great lack of such talk as this: “They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, For the saints love God as their King, and they rejoice to remember what the King’s Son said to his disciples, “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom;” so well may they sing of it.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And talk of thy power; to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. What is the use of preaching if it does not glorify God? What is the use of a tongue that does not speak or sing of the glory of God’s...

To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,.... As in Psalms 145:4; the acts of his power in providence and grace; in the salvation of his people, and the destruction of their enemies; which, with others, are made known in the ministry of the word, to those who were strangers to them, to those without the church, who wait at Wisdom's gates,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. See how David keeps to the subject with which he began the Psalm: “I will extol thee, my God, my king.” Ay, and he sings about the King all through this Psalm. His great object is to make us see that there never was such a King as the infinitely-glorious...

Thy kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom,.... So it is opposed to all other kingdoms and monarchies, which have had or will have an end; as the Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, and Roman; with all other states which will be on the spot when this kingdom is set up in its glory, and will continue for ever, Daniel 2:44; and the King of it is opposed to...
