Notes on this text (2)

1 A Psalme of David of Praise. O my God and King, I will extold thee, and will blesse thy Name for euer and euer. 2 I will blesse thee dayly, and prayse thy Name for euer and euer. 3 Great is the Lord, and most worthy to be praysed, and his greatnes is incomprehensible. 4 Generation shall praise thy works vnto generation, and declare thy power. 5 I wil meditate of the beautie of thy glorious maiestie, and thy wonderfull workes, 6 And they shall speake of the power of thy fearefull actes, and I will declare thy greatnes. 7 They shall breake out into the mention of thy great goodnes, and shall sing aloude of thy righteousnesse. 8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great mercie. 9 The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are ouer all his workes. 10 All thy workes prayse thee, O Lord, and thy Saints blesse thee. 11 They shewe the glory of thy kingdome, and speake of thy power, 12 To cause his power to be knowen to the sonnes of men, and the glorious renoume of his kingdome. 13 Thy kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome, and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages. 14 The Lord vpholdeth all that fall, and lifteth vp all that are ready to fall. 15 The eyes of all waite vpon thee, and thou giuest them their meate in due season. 16 Thou openest thine hand, and fillest all things liuing of thy good pleasure. 17 The Lord is righteous in all his wayes, and holy in all his workes. 18 The Lord is neere vnto all that call vpon him: yea, to all that call vpon him in trueth. 19 He wil fulfill the desire of them that feare him: he also wil heare their cry, and wil saue them. 20 The Lord preserueth all them that loue him: but he will destroy all the wicked. 21 My mouth shall speake the prayse of the Lord, and all flesh shall blesse his holy Name for euer and euer.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXLIV)

    The title of this Psalm is brief in number of words, but heavy in the weight of its mysteries. "To David himself against Goliath." This battle was fought in the time of our fathers, and ye, beloved, remember it with me from Holy Scripture....David put five stones in his scrip, he hurled but one.

    Great art Thou, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is Thy power, and of Thy wisdom there is no end.

  3. Quotes verse 145:16 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXI)

    Of this lesson David also lays the foundation from old time, saying enigmatically on this wise, "Thou openest Thine hand, and fillest every living thing with bounty;" and again, "To Him that giveth to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that call upon Him." "Who then," it may be said, "have not taken thought"?

  4. Quotes verse 145:15 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapter V)

    Wherefore to Him all things are turned, looking with irresistible longing and unspeakable affection to "the author" and maintainer "of" their "life," as it is written "The eyes of all wait upon thee," and again, "These wait all upon thee," and "Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing."

    So were there three begging mouths, sighing out their wants one to the other, and waiting upon Thee, that Thou mightest give them their meat in due season. And in all the bitterness which by Thy mercy followed our worldly pursuits, as we contemplated the end, why this suffering should be ours, darkness came upon us; and we turned away …
