PSALM 147



THE ARGUMENT



This Psalm may seem, from Psa_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, Psa_147:1-14; his wisdom and government over all, Psa_147:15-18; and for his salvation to the faith, Psa_147:19,20.



It is good; it is acceptable to God, and greatly comfortable and beneficial to ourselves.
