Commenting on Psalm 145:1-21
Every creature praises God by its very being, but the saints do something sweeter: they bless Him with affection, wishing well to His cause and invoking success upon His work. Only the holy can bless the thrice holy God. Let both promises of this verse be fulfilled in you, especially the second.
AI summary
All God's works praise Him, but His saints actively bless Him as children call their parents blessed. They collect the tribute of praise from inferior creatures and pay it to heaven. His saints, the workmanship of His grace, have the most reason to celebrate His kingdom and the control He holds over all earthly powers.
