Commenting on Psalm 145:1-21
Whatever the day brings, I will bless God in it; that is the true mark of a holy man, not keeping one holy day a week, but every day alike. And mark the force of it: not merely blessing His name, but blessing Him, drawing near to His very Person. Praise must be your own, not discharged by proxy; there is nothing in it unless you yourself are wholly in it.
AI summary
Whatever others do, I will myself be much in praising God, this is both my duty and my delight. I will speak well of You in solemn devotion and common conversation alike; when the heart overflows with God, the mouth speaks His praise on every occasion. No subject of discourse is more noble, more copious, or more worthy than the glory of God.
