As we close this anniversary year we reflect once again the grace and mercy of God to allow us to see 100 years! What an enormous feat to celebrate and commemorate a centennial anniversary. I commend our anniversary committee for choosing this theme and scripture because its exactly what we should be doing. One generation commending HIS works to another. Its doesn’t stop there we are to declare HIS greatness. This word declare means to make clearly known. Its no secret what God can do. Yet I’m concerned today because we are not declaring his greatness to this generation. We are failing this current generation. We are not making clear that if had not been for the Lord on my side where would we be! I ask you this world this question with their resolve not to proclaim God greatness and not insisting this generation get to know him How is it working out for you? Our young men are shooting and killing each other and then we insist on dragging them into the church for a funeral when they were living they never would even come to church. Then the insult is the folks he was beefing with has no respect for the church. There was a time the church was sacred. This generation has no regard for the church or the Lord! We need to get back to sharing about God’s greatness! The Psalmist uses 21 verses to build his testimony of the Lord!

Celebrate God’s Perfection. (v.1-6) How often do you brag on God? The psalmist opens this Psalm bragging on God.

1 I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever.

and bless your name forever and ever.

2 Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever.

and praise your name forever and ever.

3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.

and his greatness is unsearchable

Bragging on the Lord is extolling praise! It easy to do because we serve a perfect God who is perfect in all his ways. The challenge we have is understanding God is perfect. He gives us cause every day to bless his name. What we don’t realize is in our relationship with him requires us to rejoice in him. The psalmist said in

11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;

let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them,

and spread your protection over them,

that those who love your name may exult in you.

We should be like David who said I will praise you forever. Great Praise for ever because He is God (v. 1-3) David encourages us to do as he does to offer to God the praises due to his name. We must cultivate a pious gratitude. How grateful are you?

Great Praise for ever because He is God (v. 1-3) Commentary on the Book of Psalms Psalm 145David does not so much tell what he would do himself, as stir up and urge all others to this religious service of offering to God the praises due to his name. The design with which he declares God to be beneficent to the children of men is, to induce them to cultivate a pious gratitude. AV 18731 I will extol thee, my God, O king; And I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 2 Every day will I bless thee; And I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; And his greatness is unsearchable. Commentary on the Book of Psalms Psalm 145This is made still more manifest in the verse which follows, where, in speaking of the greatness of God as unimmeasurable, he intimates that we only praise God aright when we are filled and overwhelmed with an ecstatic admiration of the immensity of his power. This admiration will form the fountain from which our just praises of him will proceed, according to the measure of our capacity. Declaring God is praise to God (v. 4-7) AV 18734 One generation shall praise thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty acts. AV 18734 One generation shall praise thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty acts. 5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, And of thy wondrous works. 6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: And I will declare thy greatness. 7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness. Commentary on the Book of Psalms Psalm 145Here he insists upon the general truth, that all men were made and are preserved in life for this end, that they may devote themselves to the praise of God. And there is an implied contrast between the eternal name of God, and that immortality of renown which great men seem to acquire by their exploits. Human excellencies are eulogized in histories; with God it stands differently, for there is not a day in which he does not renew remembrance of his works, and cherish it by some present effect, so as indelibly to preserve it alive upon our minds. : AV 18735 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, And of thy wondrous works. 6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: And I will declare thy greatness. 7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness. ps 145:5 As a church we are to pass our faith to the next generation, with conviction and praise. This will produce in them Celebrate His provision and protection (v. 7-16)Gracious, Compassionate, Long-suffering, Merciful, Good, (V. 8-9). AV 18737 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness. AV 18737 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness. 8 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; Slow to anger, and of great mercy. 9 The Lord is good to all: And his tender mercies are over all his works. 10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; And thy saints shall bless thee. Gushing Praise coming out in singing (v. 7) AV 18737 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness. PS. Commentary on the Book of Psalms Psalm 145As the verb נבע, nabang, means properly to gush out, some suppose, that, as applied to speech, it means not simply speaking, but an overflowing utterance, like water rushing from a fountain, and the verb ירננו, yerannenu, in the close of the verse, answers to this, meaning to shout, or sing aloud. AV 18738 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; Slow to anger, and of great mercy. 9 The Lord is good to all: And his tender mercies are over all his works. 10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; And thy saints shall bless thee. AV 18738 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; Slow to anger, and of great mercy. 9 The Lord is good to all: And his tender mercies are over all his works. 10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; And thy saints shall bless thee. The Lord is good to all!David has borrowed this language from . AV 18736 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, The Lord is good to all!Commentary on the Book of Psalms Psalm 145The truth here stated is of wider application than the former, for the declaration of David is to the effect, that not only does God, with fatherly indulgence and clemency, forgive sin, but is good to all without discrimination, as he makes his sun to rise upon the good and upon the wicked. (.) Forgiveness of sin is a treasure from which the wicked are excluded, but their sin and depravity does not prevent God from showering down his goodness upon them, which they appropriate without being at all sensible of it. The works of God declare His majesty. AV 187311 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, And talk of thy power; 12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. Care fo His people (v. 14-16)The Lord preserves and protects. AV 187313 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. 14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall, And raiseth up all those that be bowed down. 15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; And thou givest them their meat in due season. 16 Thou openest thine hand, And satisfiest the desire of every living thing. : Communication of His Truth (v. 17-21)Close in proximity, close in powerlessness (v. 17-18). AV 187317 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, And holy in all his works. 18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth. The Bible Knowledge Commentary 145:17–21145:17–21. David extolled the LORD for being righteous and loving. (On all He has made; cf. vv. 9–10, 13.) Therefore God answers the prayers of the needy—those who fear Him and love Him—when they call to Him. Therefore all should praise His … name (v. 21; cf. v. 1). Once again God’s greatness and grace are reasons for praise. If any church has reason to praise and thank the Lord, it is us. He has allowed us to be here as a testament and praise to His name for 131 years. The continued longevity of this ministry finds its source in fear of God. AV 187319 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them. 20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him: But all the wicked will he destroy. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. : AV 187318 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

AV 187311 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. Great Praise for ever because He is God (v. 1-3) Commentary on the Book of Psalms Psalm 145David does not so much tell what he would do himself, as stir up and urge all others to this religious service of offering to God the praises due to his name.

He literally says , in speaking of the greatness of God as immeasurable!

This is when praise really flow freely when you see God as a mind blowing God. So great you cant wrap you mind around it. When we are filled and overwhelmed with an ecstatic admiration of the immensity of his power. This admiration will form the fountain from which our just praises of him will proceed, according to the measure of our capacity. That’s when you say if I had 10 tongues I couldn’t praise HIM enough. That’s when you really say if I couldn’t say a word I would just waved my hand! But it does not end there you cant keep it to yourself.

The Lord is good to all!David has borrowed this language from . AV 18736 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, The Lord is good to all!Commentary on the Book of Psalms Psalm 145The truth here stated is of wider application than the former, for the declaration of David is to the effect, that not only does God, with fatherly indulgence and clemency, forgive sin, but is good to all without discrimination, as he makes his sun to rise upon the good and upon the wicked. (.) Forgiveness of sin is a treasure from which the wicked are excluded, but their sin and depravity does not prevent God from showering down his goodness upon them, which they appropriate without being at all sensible of it. The works of God declare His majesty. AV 187311 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, And talk of thy power; 12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

AV 187317 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, And holy in all his works. 18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth. The Bible Knowledge Commentary 145:17–21145:17–21. David extolled the LORD for being righteous and loving. (On all He has made; cf. vv. 9–10, 13.) Therefore God answers the prayers of the needy—those who fear Him and love Him—when they call to Him. Therefore all should praise His … name (v. 21; cf. v. 1). Once again God’s greatness and grace are reasons for praise. If any church has reason to praise and thank the Lord, it is us. He has allowed us to be here as a testament and praise to His name for 100 years. The continued longevity of this ministry finds its source in fear of God. AV 187319 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them. 20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him: But all the wicked will he destroy. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. : AV 187318 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

AV 18734 One generation shall praise thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty acts. 5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, And of thy wondrous works. 6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: And I will declare thy greatness. 7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness. Commentary on the Book of Psalms Psalm 145Here he insists upon the general truth, that all men were made and are preserved in life for this end, that they may devote themselves to the praise of God. And there is an implied contrast between the eternal name of God, and that immortality of renown which great men seem to acquire by their exploits. Human excellencies are eulogized in histories; with God it stands differently, for there is not a day in which he does not renew remembrance of his works, and cherish it by some present effect, so as indelibly to preserve it alive upon our minds. : AV 18735 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, And of thy wondrous works. 6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: And I will declare thy greatness. 7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness. ps 145:5 As a church we are to pass our faith to the next generation, with conviction and praise.

Gushing Praise coming out in singing (v. 7) AV 18737 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness. PS. Commentary on the Book of Psalms Psalm 145As the verb נבע, nabang, means properly to gush out, some suppose, that, as applied to speech, it means not simply speaking, but an overflowing utterance, like water rushing from a fountain, and the verb ירננו, yerannenu, in the close of the verse, answers to this, meaning to shout, or sing aloud. AV 18738 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; Slow to anger, and of great mercy. 9 The Lord is good to all: And his tender mercies are over all his works. 10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; And thy saints shall bless thee.
