John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

The Psalmist calls on all God's servants, whether those who stand in the temple itself or in its courts, to praise His name, not as a vague sentiment, but as praise of God in His actual infinite essence: His being, holiness, goodness, and truth. We praise what He truly is.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist @princeofpreachers

All Israel, every tribe from Reuben to Benjamin, has cause to praise the one Jehovah and show loyalty to their sovereign Lord. The house of Aaron especially, drawn near to His divine presence, must be foremost in adoration and speak well of His name before all the congregation.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

The heathen carved gods with eyes, ears, mouths, nostrils, yet could neither see, hear, speak, nor breathe. The foolishness is that reasonable creatures should expect anything from such mock-deities, and the worshippers become as senseless as the idols they trust. We who worship the true God in Spirit must be spiritual and wise.
