From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Bless the Lord, O my soul -SeePsalms 103:1. O Lord my God, thou art very great -This is a reason why the psalmist calls on his soul to bless God; namely, for the fact that he is so exalted; so vast in his perfections; so powerful, so wise, so great. Thou art clothed with honor and majesty -That is, with the emblems of honor and majesty, as a king is arrayed in royal robes. Creation is the garment with which God has invested himself.
