Psalms 111:2-4

2 Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.

4 He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.

Psalms 111:2-4 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 111

This psalm, though without a name, is thought to be penned by David; it is composed in an artificial manner, in an alphabetical order, each clause or sentence beginning with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet in course, till the whole is finished; this perhaps was done to recommend the psalm, to make it more observed, and to help the memory; the general design of it is to excite to praise the Lord, from the consideration of his great and wonderful works.
