Commenting on Psalm 145:1-21
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts. If unobservant of other matters these acts of judgment shall seize their attention and impress their minds so that they must talk about them. Did not men in our Saviour's day speak of the falling tower of Siloam and the slaughtered Galileans? Are there not rumours of wars, when there are not even whispers of other things?
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.
