Commenting on Psalm 145:1-21
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised. Worship should be somewhat like its object—great praise for a great God. There is no part of Jehovah's greatness which is not worthy of great praise. In some beings greatness is but vastness of evil: in him it is magnificence of goodness.
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.
