• Book 5, Series 4. The Millennium. (““The Placement of the Psalms in Prophecy”” by B. Anstey)
• Having now been delivered from all their distresses, Israel celebrates their full deliverance in praise to the Lord as their Messiah-King. As the Millennium is ushered in, the glory of Christ as King is extended over all the world. Christ leads the praise to God (Ps. 22:22) for His wonderful works (vs. 1-7). (“Book 5.” by B. Anstey)
• This is the last of the alphabetical psalms. The acrostic arrangement is not strictly complete as the letter Nun is omitted. (“Psalms 145” by H. Smith)
• (vv. 1-2) The godly man delivered from all his enemies can look on to an eternity in which he sees no evil to intrude, and no trace of sorrow to dim his joy in the Lord. Thus he can say, “I will bless thy name forever and ever,” “I will praise thy name forever and ever.” (“Psalms 145” by H. Smith)
• Psa. 145 looks back and shows the soul (for I do not speak of dispensation here as such: it is the Spirit of Christ showing what passes in the millennium; but it shows the soul) recounting with praise and thanksgiving, the works and ways of God, where it can look back—the greatness of God. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 143-145” by J.N. Darby)
