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

Bless the Lord, O house of Levi. These helped the priests in other things, let them aid them in this also. The house of Israel comprehends all the chosen seed; then we come down to the smaller but more central ring of the house of Aaron, and now we widen out to the whole tribe of Levi.

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.
