His Kingdom is Everlasting

Commentary

This Psalm may have been written near the end of David’s reign when Israel had reached a high point and was blessed with a period of peace and security. It brings out how God is so gracious to:

1. Those who fall (v. 14).

2. Those who hunger (v. 15).

3. Those who pray (vv. 18-19).

4. Those who love him (v. 20).

This is a good life verse for a missionary which is, “To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom” (v. 12).

Application

It is my desire to always have a gracious attitude and spirit toward those who are in need both physically and spiritually.

Psalms 145:10– 21 (NET)

¹⁰ All your works will give thanks to you, Lord. Your loyal followers will praise you.

¹¹ They will proclaim the splendor of your kingdom; they will tell about your power,

¹² so that mankind might acknowledge your mighty acts, and the majestic splendor of your kingdom.

¹³ Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.

¹⁴ The Lord supports all who fall, and lifts up all who are bent over.

¹⁵ Everything looks to you in anticipation, and you provide them with food on a regular basis.

¹⁶ You open your hand, and fill every living thing with the food it desires.

¹⁷ The Lord is just in all his actions, and exhibits love in all he does.

¹⁸ The Lord is near all who cry out to him, all who cry out to him sincerely.

¹⁹ He satisfies the desire of his loyal followers; he hears their cry for help and delivers them.

²⁰ The Lord protects all those who love him, but he destroys all the wicked.

²¹ My mouth will praise the Lord. Let all who live praise his holy name forever.
