This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The works of the Lord; either,
1. The works of creation; or rather,
2. The works of his providence in the world, and especially in and for his church and people, of which he speaks in the rest of the Psalm.
Are great, for the infinite power, and wisdom, and goodness manifested in them. Sought out; highly valued and regarded, as this very word and phrase is used, Deu_11:12 Isa_62:12; or frequently called to mind, and diligently meditated upon, when others either never regarded them, or instantly forget them: or, found out, as this word is taken, Isa_65:1; the antecedent being put for the consequent, which is frequent in Scripture, as Rom_12:2, where proving or trying (for so the Greek word there signifies) is put for approving, which follows after it. And found out, i.e. truly and thoroughly understood, both as to the nature of them, and God’s counsels and ends in them; whereas the works of God are ofttimes not apprehended or minded, or are mistaken and misconstrued, by ungodly men.
Of all them that have pleasure therein; of all them who take delight in observing and considering the works of God.
