Praise ye the Lord
When he shall reign, as Kimchi connects this psalm with the
preceding; the arguments used to engage men to this work are
taken partly from the nature of it, as in the next clauses; and
partly from what the Lord is and does, as in the following
verses; for [it is] good to sing praises unto our
God;
it being agreeably to his revealed will, what he enjoins,
approves of, and accepts, and is profitable to his people, as
well as makes his glory; see ( Psalms 92:1 ) . Some
render it, "because [he is] good", as in ( Psalms 106:1
) ( 107:1
) ; but the accents, and what follows, will not admit of this
sense; for it [is] pleasant;
to our God; with which the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Ethiopic,
and Arabic versions, join this clause; the sacrifice of praise is
more pleasing to the Lord than any ceremonial sacrifice,
especially when offered from a grateful heart in the name of
Christ, and with a view to his glory; and it is pleasant to
saints themselves, when grace is in exercise, and they make
melody in their hearts to the Lord; [and] praise is
comely:
is due to the Lord, and becomes his people to give it to him; it
is but their reasonable service, and a beautiful and lovely sight
it is to see the chosen, redeemed, and called of the Lamb,
harping with their harps, and singing the song of redeeming love.
