| Geneva Study Bible Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. Wesley's Notes 148:13 Above - Above all the glories which are in earth and in heaven. King James Translators' Notes excellent: Heb. exalted Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 13. Let them-all mentioned. excellent-or, exalted (Isa 12:4). his glory-majesty (Ps 45:3). above the earth and heaven-Their united splendors fail to match His. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 148:7-14 Even in this world, dark and bad as it is, God is praised. The powers of nature, be they ever so strong, so stormy, do what God appoints them, and no more. Those that rebel against God's word, show themselves to be more violent than even the stormy winds, yet they fulfil it. View the surface of the earth, mountains and all hills; from the barren tops of some, and the fruitful tops of others, we may fetch matter for praise. And assuredly creatures which have the powers of reason, ought to employ themselves in praising God. Let all manner of persons praise God. Those of every rank, high and low. Let us show that we are his saints by praising his name continually. He is not only our Creator, but our Redeemer; who made us a people near unto him. We may by the Horn of his people understand Christ, whom God has exalted to be a Prince and a Saviour, who is indeed the defence and the praise of all his saints, and will be so for ever. In redemption, that unspeakable glory is displayed, which forms the source of all our hopes and joys. May the Lord pardon us, and teach our hearts to love him more and praise him better. |
