Great Is the Lord, and Greatly to Be Praised (Psalm 145) | Charles Spurgeon

Deep Dive into The Treasury of David by Charles Spurgeon - Psalm 145Psalm 145 is uniquely designated as David's own psalm of praise, representing his personal and most treasured adoration of God. The text outlines David's unwavering resolution to extol and bless the Lord's name eternally, demonstrating that genuine worship should be a daily, ongoing practice regardless of a person's circumstances. David emphasizes that God's greatness is unsearchable, requiring believers to pass down the tradition of praise from one generation to the next. Worshipers are encouraged to speak extensively of God's majesty, His wondrous works, and even His terrible acts of judgment, while abundantly uttering the memory of His goodness and righteousness.The commentary highlights God's intrinsic character as gracious, compassionate, and patient, noting that His tender mercies generously extend to all His creations. Because of this universal kindness, all of God's works praise Him through their very existence, but His saints lovingly and intentionally bless Him. These saints enthusiastically declare the glory, power, and eternal nature of God's kingdom, which outlasts all temporary human empires.Despite His infinite majesty, God exhibits profound condescension and tenderness by upholding those who fall and raising up those who are depressed or burdened. Furthermore, God acts as the universal provider, opening His hand to satisfy the physical and spiritual desires of every living thing in due season. The psalm affirms that the Lord is completely righteous in all His ways and intimately near to all who call upon Him in sincere truth. While God preserves those who love Him and fulfills the desires of those who fear Him, He will ultimately destroy all the wicked. Ultimately, David commits his mouth to continual praise and invites all flesh to bless the Lord's holy name forever.Reformed Theologian GPT: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-XXwzX1gnv-reformed-theologianYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ReformedExplainerSpotify Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1t5dz4vEgvHqUknYQfwpRI?si=e-tDRFR2Qf6By1sAcMdkdwhttps://buymeacoffee.com/edi2730
