P S A L M S PSALM CXLVI. This and all the rest of the psalms that follow begin and end with Hallelujah, a word which puts much of God's praise into a little compass; for in it we praise him by his name Jah, the contraction of Jehovah. In this excellent psalm of praise, I. The psalmist engages himself to praise God, Psalms 146:1 ; Psalms 146:2 . II. He engages others to trust in him, which is one necessary and acceptable way of praising him. 1. He shows why we should not trust in men, Psalms 146:3 ; Psalms 146:4 . 2. Why we should trust in God ( Psalms 146:5 ), because of his power in the kingdom of nature ( Psalms 146:6 ), his dominion in the kingdom of providence ( Psalms 146:7 ), and his grace in the kingdom of the Messiah ( Psalms 146:8 ; Psalms 146:9 ), that everlasting kingdom ( Psalms 146:10 ), to which many of the Jewish writers refer this psalm, and to which therefore we should have an eye, in the singing of it. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-4" class="com-number"
