An Uncountable Catalog of Grace
Commentators agree that this verse expresses overwhelming awe at the sheer number of God's blessings. These aren't just a few key events, but a catalog of 'wonderful works' (creation, redemption, providence) and 'thoughts' (plans, purposes) so vast they defy human attempts to list or organize them. As Albert Barnes notes, they are simply 'more than can be numbered,' prompting profound gratitude.
