Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 5. Many-are thy wonderful works ] The psalmist seems here astonished and confounded at the counsels, loving- kindnesses, and marvellous works of the Lord, not in nature, but in grace; for it was the mercy of God towards himself that he had now particularly in view.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-10 - The psalmist foretells that work of wonder, redemption by our Lor Jesus Christ. The Substance must come, which is Christ, who must brin that glory to God, and that grace to man, which it was impossible the sacrifices should ever do. Observe the setting apart of our Lord Jesu to the work and office of Mediator. In the volume, or roll, of the boo it was written of him. In the close rolls of the Divine decrees an counsel, the covenant of redemption was recorded. Also, in all the volumes of the Old Testament something was written of him, Joh 19:28 Now the purchase of our salvation is made, the proclamation is sen forth, calling us to come and accept it. It was preached freely an openly. Whoever undertook to preach the gospel of Christ, would be under great temptation to conceal it; but Christ, and those he calls to that work, are carried on in it. May we believe his testimony, trus his promise, and submit to his authority.
