Psalm Ps. 111. This hymn of praise celebrates the great works the Lord has done for his people. He has called them to be his own, and has cared for and protected them. Singing the psalm reminds the people of these deeds and encourages them to respond with a “fear of the Lord” (v. 10). Psalms 111–112 go together. Psalm 111:10 closes with the reference to the “fear of the Lord” and Ps. 112:1 begins with “the man who fears the Lord.”
Ps. 111:2 works (see vv. 6, 7). These are God’s deeds in creation (e.g., 8:3; 6; 104:24), and especially in redeeming his people (e.g., 145:9; Ex. 34:10; Deut. 3:24; Dan. 9:14).
Ps. 111:3 his righteousness endures forever. See 119:142; Isa. 51:8. God shows his righteousness, his uprightness, and his faithfulness to his promises in his great deeds. See note on Ps. 112:3.
Ps. 111:4 gracious and merciful. See Ex. 34:6.
Ps. 111:5 remembers his covenant. See notes on 25:6–7; 105:8. Just as God “remembers,” so should his people remember (111:4).
Ps. 111:6 This describes the taking of the Promised Land.
Ps. 111:7–8 God’s precepts (instructions; see 19:8; 119:4) express his love and faithfulness as much as the works of his hands do.
