The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
*Sought* — Diligently meditated upon.

His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
*Work* — Either all his works, or that eminent branch of those works, his providence towards his people.
*Righteousness* — His justice or faithfulness in performing his word.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
*Remembered* — By their own nature, and the lasting benefits flowing from them, which are such as cannot easily be forgotten.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
*Meat* — All necessary provisions for their being and well-being.

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
*The works* — All that he doth on the behalf of his people, or against their enemies.
*Truth* — Are exactly agreeable to his promises, and to justice.
*Commandments* — His laws given to the Israelites, especially the moral law.
*Sure* — Constant and unchangeable.

They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
*Done* — Constituted or ordered.

He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
*Redemption* — The deliverance out of Egypt, which was a type of that higher redemption by Christ.
*Commanded* — Appointed, or established firmly by his power and authority.
*For ever* — Through all successive generations of his people to the end of the world.
*Reverend* — Terrible to his enemies, venerable in his peoples eyes, and holy in all his dealings with all men.

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.
*The fear* — True religion.
*Beginning* — Is the only foundation of, and introduction to, true wisdom.
