Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 1. It is a good thing to give thanks ] This Psalm begins very abruptly. Good to confess unto the Lord. He had been acknowledging God's goodness, and praising him for his mercy; and now he breaks out and tells how good he felt this employment to be.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-6 - It is a privilege that we are admitted to praise the Lord, and hope to be accepted in the morning, and every night; not only on sabbath days but every day; not only in public, but in private, and in our families Let us give thanks every morning for the mercies of the night, an every night for the mercies of the day; going out, and coming in, le us bless God. As He makes us glad, through the works of his providenc for us, and of his grace in us, and both through the great work of redemption, let us hence be encouraged. As there are many who know no the designs of Providence, nor care to know them, those who throug grace do so, have the more reason to be thankful. And if distant view of the great Deliverer so animated believers of old, how should we abound in love and praise!
