Puritan Board Doctor
This noble close of the Psalter rings out one clear note of praise, as the end of all the many moods and experiences recorded in its wonderful sighs and songs. Tears, groans, wailings for sin, meditations on the dark depths of Providence, fainting faith and foiled aspirations, all lead up to this. The Psalm is more than an artistic close of the Psalter; it is a prophecy of the last result of the devout life and, in its unclouded sunniness as well as its universality, it proclaims the certain end of the weary years for the individual and the world. "Everything that hath breath" shall yet praise Jehovah.
Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910), quoted by A. F. Kirkpatrick (1849-1940), in volume 3 of his commentary on the Psalms (1901).
