Commenting on Psalm 145:1-21
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.

Commenting on Psalm 145:10-21
Only those born again love Christ truly, love that flows from His Spirit, bears itself in worship and obedience, and marks the genuine believer. The Lord keeps such from sin's dominion, from Satan's destruction, from final apostasy, unto His kingdom. But the wicked He will consume utterly from the earth; every enemy of Christ, every opposer of His Gospel, shall be burned up like chaff, cast into eternal fire, root and branch destroyed.
