1. David praises God for his fame
8. For his goodness
11. For his kingdom
14. For his providence
17. For his justice, holiness, and savings mercy














They will proclaim
The phrase "They will proclaim" suggests a communal and active declaration. The Hebrew root for "proclaim" is "nagad," which means to announce or make known. This implies a public and intentional sharing of information. In the context of Psalm 145, it reflects the collective responsibility of God's people to declare His mighty acts. Historically, this aligns with the Jewish tradition of oral storytelling and the communal recitation of God's deeds, which was a vital part of worship and cultural identity.

the power
The word "power" in Hebrew is "geburah," which denotes strength, might, or valor. This term is often associated with God's mighty acts and His ability to perform miracles and deliver His people. In the biblical narrative, God's power is demonstrated through creation, the Exodus, and numerous other acts of divine intervention. The emphasis on power here is not just about physical strength but also about God's sovereign authority and His ability to accomplish His purposes.

of Your awesome deeds
The phrase "of Your awesome deeds" highlights the extraordinary and awe-inspiring actions of God. The Hebrew word for "awesome" is "yare," which can mean fear, reverence, or awe. This suggests that God's deeds are not only powerful but also evoke a sense of wonder and reverence. Throughout scripture, God's awesome deeds include acts of creation, judgment, and salvation, which reveal His character and inspire worship among His people.

and I will declare
The transition to "and I will declare" shifts the focus from the communal to the personal. The Hebrew root "saphar" means to recount or tell. This personal declaration emphasizes the individual responsibility to testify to God's greatness. It reflects a personal commitment to share one's own experiences of God's faithfulness and power, reinforcing the idea that worship and testimony are both communal and personal acts.

Your greatness
The term "greatness" in Hebrew is "gadol," which signifies magnitude, importance, or majesty. God's greatness encompasses His infinite attributes, including His omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. In the biblical context, God's greatness is often contrasted with human limitations, highlighting His superiority and the reason for our worship. The declaration of God's greatness is a central theme in the Psalms, serving as a reminder of His unparalleled nature and the appropriate response of praise and adoration.

(6) Thy greatness.--Or, according to the written text, greatnesses. So Aquila and Jerome. The parallelism is decidedly in favour of the plural.

Verse 6. - And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts. Men will "speak of the might of God's terrible acts," which are those that attract them most - the plagues wrought in Egypt, the overthrow of Pharaoh's host in the Red Sea, the earth swallowing up Dathan, and the like. And I will declare thy greatness (see above, ver. 3).
