Commentaries on Psalms 111:1

This seems to serve as a title to those of the later Psalms, which, like this, set forth God's gracious government and its blessed fruits. This praise claims the whole heart--(Psa 86:12), and is rendered publicly. upright--a title of the true Israel (Psa 32:11).Read the comment
