Psalms 147:1

PSALM 147 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm may seem, from Psalms 147:2,13, to have been composed by some holy prophet after the return of Israel from the Babylonish captivity. It containeth an ample celebration of God's praises, both for common mercies and for special favors. The prophet exhorteth the people to praise God for his care over his church, Psalms 147:1; his wisdom and government over all, Psalms 147:15; and for his salvation to the faith, Psalms 147:19,20. It is good; it is acceptable to God, and greatly comfortable and beneficial to ourselves.
