Commenting on Psalm 145:1-21
A king must speak of his King's majesty, I cannot leave this work to others, even if all generations took it up. My words strain and multiply to express what they cannot fully contain: the glorious honour of Your majesty, the wondrous works of Your grace. These things must not pass silent into the grave; representative men like me are bound to speak them aloud, in public and private both.
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.
