The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Praise ye the Lord (comp. ; ). O give thanks unto the Lord (so in ). Even in their greatest afflictions, the Israelites were bound to give God thanks. His mercies always exceeded his punishments.

For he is good (see the comment on ). For his mercy eudureth forever. According to Chronicles, this phrase was used at the dedication of David's tabernacle (, ), and again at the dedication of the temple ().

It here first occurs in the Psalms.
