SCRIPTURE

"Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?" — Psalms 106:2 (ASV)

Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord ?
&c.] Or powers F9 ; to which answers the Greek word for the miracles of Christ, (Matthew 11:20Matthew 11:21) , and Kimchi here restrains them to the wonders wrought in Egypt, and at the Red sea: but they may as well be extended to the mighty acts of God, and the effects of his power, in the creation of all things out of nothing; in the sustaining and government of the world; in the redemption of his people by Christ; in the conversion of sinners, and in the final perseverance of the saints; in all which there are such displays of the power of God as cannot be uttered and declared by mortal tongues.

Who can show forth all his praise ?
all those things done by him, worthy of praise, they are so many and so great? see (Psalms 40:5) .
