Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. Sing praises ] wrmz zammeru: this word is four times repeated in this short verse, and shows at once the earnestness and happiness of the people. They are the words of exultation and triumph. Feel your obligation to God; express it in thanksgiving: be thankful, be eternally thankful, to God your King.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-9 - Praise is a duty in which we ought to be frequent and abundant. But here is a needful rule; Sing ye praises with understanding. As thos that understand why and for what reasons they praise God, and what is the meaning of the service. It is not an acceptable service, if it is not a reasonable service. We are never to forget the end of Messiah' exaltation, so continually do the prophets dwell upon the conversion of the nations to the gospel of Christ. Why do we vainly fancy that we belong to him, unless the Spirit reign in our hearts by faith? Lord, i it not thy glory and delight to give repentance to Israel and remissio of sins, now that thou art exalted as a Prince and a Saviour? Set u thy kingdom in our hearts. Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. And so sweetly constrain all the powers an faculties of the souls of thy redeemed, into holy love, fear, an delight in thee, that praise with the understanding may rise from ever heart, both here and for ever, to Thee, our God _________________________________________________
