How preachers through history handled this text
11 public-domain excerpts on Psalm 145, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“All God's works show forth his praises. He satisfies the desire of every living thing, except the unreasonable children of men, who are satisfied with nothing. He does good to all the children of men; his own people in a special manner. Many children of God, who have been ready to fall into sin, to fall into despair, have tasted his goodness in preventing their falls, or recovering them speedily by his graces and comforts. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Psalm 145:10–30 (Public Domain)
