    Psalms 146

    This and all the rest of the psalms that follow begin and end with Hallelujah, a word which puts much of God’s praise into a little compass; for in it we praise him by his name Jah, the contraction of Jehovah. In this excellent psalm of praise, I. The psalmist engages himself to praise God, Psalms 146:1, 146:2. II. He engages others to trust in him, which is one necessary and acceptable way of praising him. 1. He shows why we should not trust in men, Psalms 146:3, 146:4. 2. Why we should trust in God (Psalms 146:5), because of his power in the kingdom of nature (Psalms 146:6), his dominion in the kingdom of providence (Psalms 146:7), and his grace in the kingdom of the Messiah (Psalms 146:8, 146:9), that everlasting kingdom (Psalms 146:10), to which many of the Jewish writers refer this psalm, and to which therefore we should have an eye, in the singing of it.MHBCC 625.1
