INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 103 A Psalm of David. The Targum adds, "spoken in prophecy,'' as doubtless it was, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Bless the Lord, ye his angels,.... For their creation, being made by him; for their preservation, living, moving, and having their being in him; and for their happiness, in which they are continued, owing to their being chosen of God in Christ, and to their confirmation by Christ. These are always employed in the work of blessing and praising the Lord nor are they in the least backward to it, nor...
Matthew Henry
This psalm calls more for devotion than exposition; it is a most excellent psalm of praise, and of general use. The psalmist, I. Stirs up himself and his own soul to praise God (ver. 1, 2) for his favour to him in particular (ver. 3-5), to the church in general, and to all good men, to whom he is, and will be, just, and kind, and constant (ver. 6-18), and for his government of the world, ver. 19....

Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. I think, before we pray, we must bless and magnify the Lord by singing Milton’s version of Psalms 136 :-“Let us...

Bless the LORD, ye his angels that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. Magnify him more than ever, if that is possible, ye mighty hosts who,-“ Day without night Circle his throne rejoicing.”

Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. David calls in the angels to help him to praise the Lord; he wants to do it well, but feels that he is weak and feeble, so he calls in the best of help. We also sing, — “Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes, His...

Charles H. Spurgeon
And his kingdom ruleth over all. Bless the LORD, ye his angels, — As if he could not do it well enough himself, and so he called in the angels to help him. Ye bright spirits that behold him day and night, and circle his throne, rejoicing with your never-ceasing symphonies, lend me your harps end tongues. “Bless the Lord, ye his angels.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
That excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto this voice of his word. Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; Sun, moon, and stars, the hosts of heaven, and all creatures that dwell in this lower sphere of whatever form ye be, burst forth into song and extol him; and oh! men—the beasts that should be the hosts of God—when ye are made willing in the day of his power, go forth to...

Lead thou the song, and may the...

Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. “Bless the Lord, ye his angels.” We cannot do it well enough yet; help us, then, ye angels that excel in strength; put out all your strength when ye praise him, “ye that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his Word.” Your actions are your praises, O ye angels!...
