Psalms 145:6

"I will meditate on the glorious majesty of your honor, on your wondrous works."

Key Reflection

In first-century Israel, Psalms 145:6 encouraged the people to reflect on God's greatness and the wonders He performs. The original audience would have recognized this as a call to worship and praise, drawing from their understanding of God’s mighty acts in the Exodus, the establishment of the covenant with Moses, and subsequent deliverances and provision. This verse invites them to contemplate these divine works, fostering a deep sense of gratitude and awe that would enhance their spiritual life and communal worship practices.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts -The force, the power of those things done by thee which are suited to inspire fear or reverence. The great power displayed in those acts shall be a ground or reason for celebrating thy praise. The manifestations of that power will so deeply impress the minds of people, that they will be led to speak of them. And I will declare thy greatness -Hebrew, “And thy greatness, I will declare it.” In respect to that, I will recount it, or I will make it known to others.
