--- title: "Bullinger" description: "Title. David" image: "/images/missing.jpg" url: "https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/145" --- **Title.** David's [Psalm] of praise. No other Psalm so entitled. An Acrostic Psalm. See App-63 . **God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 . **name.** See note on [Psalms 20:1](../../../kjv/psalms/20/1) . **the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 . **glorious, &c.** Hebrew = the majesty of the glory of Thine honour. wondrous works = instances or examples of Thy wonders. Hebrew - words of Thy wonders. **And men** = And they. See Structure (4-7, above). **terrible.** See note on [Psalms 111:9](../../../kjv/psalms/111/9) . **abundantly utter** = pour forth. **gracious, &c.** Compare [Exodus 34:6](../../../kjv/exodus/34/6) , [Exodus 34:7](../../../kjv/exodus/34/7) . **of great mercy** = great in lovingkindness, or grace. **to all.** Septuagint reads "to them that wait on Him". **tender mercies** = compassions. **saints** = favoured or beloved ones. Compare [Psalms 16:10](../../../kjv/psalms/16/10) . **power.** Sing, of the Hebrew word "mighty acts" ([Psalms 145:4](../../../kjv/psalms/145/4) ). **men.** Hebrew. *'adam* (with Art.) = mankind. App-14 . **an everlasting kingdom** = a kingdom for all ages. Looking backward (eternal, [Psalms 77:5](../../../kjv/psalms/77/5) ) as well as forward (everlasting, [Psalms 77:7](../../../kjv/psalms/77/7) ). These words, "Thy kingdom [O Christ] is an everlasting kingdom", were (up to 1893) to be seen on the wall of one of the largest Mosques in Damascus. Formerly it was a Temple of Rimmon. It was turned into the (Christian) Church of St. John the Baptist by Arcadius, later it was made into a Mosque by Caliph Walid I (705-717). It was destroyed by fire on Oct 14, 1893, and subsequently rebuilt. ( *Enc. Brit* vol. 7, p. 785, Camb. (11th) edition.) **generations.** Following this verse (13) the Primitive Text read: "Faithful is Jehovah in all His words And holy in all His works", the verse beginning with the missing letter (Nun) = *Neeman* (= faithful). It is found in some codices, with Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, Arabic, and Ethiopic Versions. The Structure (13-20, above) thus confirms the Ancient Versions. **fall** = are ready to fall. **raiseth up.** Occurs only here and [Psalms 146:8](../../../kjv/psalms/146/8) . **eyes of all wait.** Figure of speech *Prosopopoeia.* App-6 . **Thou.** This is emphatic in Sept, Syriac, and Vulgate. Compare [Psalms 104:26](../../../kjv/psalms/104/26) . **hand.** Figure of speech *Anthropopatheia.* App-6 . **holy** = gracious. **nigh:** i.e. nigh to help. Compare [Psalms 34:18](../../../kjv/psalms/34/18) ; [Psalms 119:151](../../../kjv/psalms/119/151) .[Deuteronomy 4:7](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/4/7) . **unto all.** Note the Figure of speech *Anadiplosis* ( App-6 ) in the repetition, "to all that call" (for emphasis). **their cry:** i.e. for help in distress. **wicked** = lawless. Hebrew. *rasha.* App-44 . **let all flesh** = all flesh shall, as in [Psalms 145:10](../../../kjv/psalms/145/10) ; thus completing and perfecting the Structure above. **all flesh.** Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of the Part), App-6 , put for all men. **holy.** See note on [Exodus 3:5](../../../kjv/exodus/3/5) . **ever and ever.** Many codices, with one early printed edition, here add: "And we will bless Jah: From henceforth even for ever, Praise ye Jah. "Compare [Psalms 115:18](../../../kjv/psalms/115/18) . ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/145#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 145"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/145#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/145","name":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 145","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/145#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Title.
