And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
Men shall speak of the might of God's terrible, awe-inspiring acts and declare His greatness. This speaking belongs to the praise of a Lord who is great and greatly to be praised, whose greatness is unsearchable and cannot be searched out. It is joined with meditating on the glorious honor of His majesty and His wondrous works, with one generation commending and lauding His works to another. It abundantly recalls and utters the memory of His great goodness and sings of His righteousness.
The same praise includes all His works praising Him and His saints blessing Him, speaking of the glory of His kingdom and His power. They speak in order to make His mighty acts and the glorious majesty of His kingdom known to men, because His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and His dominion endures through all generations. So mouths speak His praise and all flesh blesses His holy name forever and ever. God's mighty acts and greatness are thus reasons to praise Him, calling people to speak of His deeds and declare His greatness in a way that awakens a sense of His mercies and unbounded goodness.
Those who see this glory are required not merely to contemplate it but to speak of it. Dwelling and musing on wondrous love kindles a fire that compels speech, so that beholding by faith the wonderful plan of redemption and the glory of the only begotten Son leaves no one silent. Speaking of the glorious honor of His majesty and the might of His terrible acts means speaking of His excellencies and extolling the Saviour's glory. It especially means telling the unfathomable love shown in Christ's death on the cross at Calvary so that sinners might not perish but have everlasting life, and declaring His greatness means praising Him with tongue and harp as all in His temple speak of His glory.
