Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 111:2

"The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein." — Psalms 111:2 (ASV)

Sought out — that is, they are the object of meditation and inquiry. (See Note, Psalms 105:4.) The psalmist was no doubt thinking of historical proofs of Jehovah’s goodness to the chosen race, but his words are capable of a wide range. The best illustration of them may be found in the writings in which Mr. Ruskin warns this generation against the danger of insensibility to natural beauty.
