PSALMS ..... CHAPTER 111 ..... 1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. 5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. 7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. *** *** *** COMMENTARIES *** *** *** David loved to praise his Lord in the sight of men and king David had fallen in love with receiving glory from men. Those who worship their Lord to be seen in the sight of men are actually worshipping king David. It is an illusion in the minds of the delusional to think that God dwells in temples made with hands. Those who think that God dwells in fancy church buildings make the gross error of praising their false god which dwells in the midst of their gatherings at their fancy assemblies among their christian congregations. These are the same which the Son of God rebuked for praising the Lord that they might be seen as holy in the sight of men. They have their reward. See Matthew 6:5.
