Commenting on Psalm 145:1-21
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts. These glorious deeds ought to be known to all mankind; but yet few reckon such knowledge to be an essential part of education. As the State cannot teach these holy histories the people of God must take care to do it themselves.
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.
