Psalm 145 is the last Psalm by David. Being the composer of half of the Psalms (~75/150), David’s heart had been to follow God since his youth. David didn’t have a generic view of ‘god’. This last song is from an intimate knowledge of the true LORD (Heb. yhwh, ‘self-existent, eternal’) and God. Being Creator, God is great (Heb. gâdôl, ‘exceeding large in magnitude, extent, or importance’) and His greatness is unsearchable (Heb. 'ayin chêqer, ‘unexaminable’). This greatness can’t be fully understood or explained by humans. What cannot be fully understood can still be fully appreciated! From God’s great power comes His mighty deeds in history, which should fill humans with awe and obedience (Ps. 33:8; Rev. 15:3, 4). What is great in your heart influences greatness from your hands!
