I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart;
in the council of the just, and in the congregation. *

1.1 'The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand'—Jesus uses this verse to demonstrate the Messiah's divinity (Matt 22:41-46).

1.2 If David calls the Messiah 'Lord,' the Messiah cannot be merely David's human descendant; He must be divine.

1.3 This is the most quoted OT verse in the NT, applied to Christ's exaltation and session at the Father's right hand.

2 Great are the works of the Lord:
sought out according to all his wills.
3 His work is praise and magnificence:
and his justice continueth for ever and ever.
4 He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works,
being a merciful and gracious Lord: *

4.1 'Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech'—the Messiah is both king (v. 1) and priest, but not of the Levitical order.

4.2 Hebrews develops this: Christ's eternal priesthood supersedes the Aaronic priesthood. He offers His own sacrifice once for all.

5 He hath given food to them that fear him.
He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:
6 He will shew forth to his
people the power of his works.
7 That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles:
the works of his hands are truth and judgment.
8 All his commandments are faithful:
confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.
9 He hath sent redemption to his people:
he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it:
his praise continueth for ever and ever.
