memory-- (Psa 6:5), remembrance, or what causes to be remembered.
righteousness--as in Psa 143:1, goodness according to covenant engagement. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness - Hebrew, The memory of the greatness of thy goodness they will pour forth. The word rendered "abundantly utter" means to bud forth, to gush out, to flow, as a fountain. Pro 18:4; Pro 1:23; Pro 15:2, Pro 15:28. It is applied to words as poured forth in praise. The meaning is, that the heart is full, as a fountain is full of water, and that it naturally overflows, or seeks to discharge itself. The thought of the goodness of God fills the heart, and makes it overflow with gratitude.
And shall sing of thy righteousness - They shall shout for joy at the displays of thy justice; at the manifestations of thy righteous character. |
1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
