Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
back to:
Psalms
Book: Psalms
Chapter: 133
Overview:
An exhortation to
Bless the
Lord.
- We must stir up ourselves to give
Glory to
God, and encourage
ourselves to
Hope for
Mercy and
Grace from him. It is an
excellent plan to fill up all our spare minutes with pious
meditations, and prayers and praises.
No time would then be a
Burden, nor should we
Murder our hours
By trifling
Conversation
and vain amusements, or
By Carnal indulgences. We need desire
No
more to make us happy, than to be blessed of the
Lord. We ought
to
Beg spiritual blessings, not only for ourselves, but for
others; not only, The
Lord Bless me, but, The
Lord Bless thee;
thus testifying our belief that there is enough for others as
Well as for us, and showing our good will to others.
