| From
Exposition
on the Psalms, Augustine
(354-430).
 | "What then, brethren,
if we have already heard of those humble things which are in heaven,
lifted up from the mire, that they might be set with the princes of the
people; have we by consequence heard nothing of the humble things which
the Lord beholdeth on the earth? For those friends who will judge with
their Lord are fewer, while those whom they receive into everlasting
habitations are more in number. For although the whole of a heap of corn
compared with the separate chaff may seem to contain few in number; yet
considered by itself, it is abundant." |
|
| From the Geneva Notes
(1599).
| "If God's glory shines
through all the world, and therefore of all ought to be praised, what
great condemnation were it to his people, among whom chiefly it shines,
if they should not earnestly extol his Name?" |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.(c. 1700)
| "How vast his love in
taking upon him the nature of man, to ransom guilty souls! God sometimes
makes glorious his own wisdom and power, when, having some great work to
do, he employs those least likely, and least thought of for it by
themselves or others." |

|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole
Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "God's majesty
contrasted with His condescension and gracious dealings towards the
humble furnish matter and a call for praise. The Jews, it is said, used
this and Psalms 114-118 on their great festivals, and called them the Greater
Hallel, or Hymn." |
