<p class="tab-1">This and all the rest of the psalms that follow begin and end with Hallelujah, a word which puts much of Gods praise into a little compass; for in it we praise him by his name Jah, the contraction of Jehovah. In this excellent psalm of praise, I. The psalmist engages himself to praise God, <a class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.1,Ps.146.2" href="/passage/?search=Ps.146.1,Ps.146.2"><span class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.1">Ps. 146:1</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.2">2</span></a>. II. He engages others to trust in him, which is one necessary and acceptable way of praising him. 1. He shows why we should not trust in men, <a class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.3,Ps.146.4" href="/passage/?search=Ps.146.3,Ps.146.4"><span class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.3">Ps. 146:3</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.4">4</span></a>. 2. Why we should trust in God (<a class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.5" href="/passage/?search=Ps.146.5">Ps. 146:5</a>), because of his power in the kingdom of nature (<a class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.6" href="/passage/?search=Ps.146.6">Ps. 146:6</a>), his dominion in the kingdom of providence (<a class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.7" href="/passage/?search=Ps.146.7">Ps. 146:7</a>), and his grace in the kingdom of the Messiah (<a class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.8,Ps.146.9" href="/passage/?search=Ps.146.8,Ps.146.9"><span class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.8">Ps. 146:8</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.9">9</span></a>), that everlasting kingdom (<a class="bibleref" title="Ps.146.10" href="/passage/?search=Ps.146.10">Ps. 146:10</a>), to which many of the Jewish writers refer this psalm, and to which therefore we should have an eye, in the singing of it.</p>
