Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-36 - Let God be glorified in our praises. Let others be edified and taught that strangers to him may be led to adore him. Let us ourselves triump and trust in God. Those that give glory to God's name are allowed to glory in it. Let the everlasting covenant be the great matter of ou joy his people of old, be remembered by us with thankfulness to him Show forth from day to day his salvation, his promised salvation by Christ. We have reason to celebrate that from day to day; for we dail receive the benefit, and it is a subject that can never be exhausted In the midst of praises, we must not forget to pray for the servants of God in distress.
