1. P Y T L F I I G T S P U O G F I I P A P I C
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 Psalm 92:1). Some render it, “because he is good” (as in Psalm 106:1); 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.
Comely in the verse above, means suitable. Praise ye the LORD could be said in one word, “Hallelujah”. This word is universal. It has the same meaning in all languages. There is nothing more beautiful than a praise service unto the Lord. There is such a beautiful spirit that sweeps over the church and the people. It is as if you could reach out and touch God with your hand. God inhabits the praises of His people. This is a quick way to experience His presence.
