| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
I will speak--or, "muse" (Psa 77:12; Psa 119:15).
thy wondrous works--or, "words of thy wonders," that is, which described them (Psa 105:27, Margin). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
I will speak - That is, in my acts of praise. I will not be ashamed to be known as his worshipper; I will publicly declare my belief in his existence, his greatness, his goodness.
Of the glorious honor of thy majesty - The glory of the honor of thy majesty. This accumulation of epithets shows that the heart of the psalmist was full of the subject, and that he labored to find language to express his emotions. It is beauty; it is glory; it is majesty: it is all that is great, sublime, wonderful - all combined - all concentrated - in one Being.
And of thy wondrous works - Margin, "things," or "words." The reference is to wondrous deeds or acts considered as the subject of discourse or praise. |
27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
