Ps.144:1. I will exalt You, my God, my King.
Raises to heights not because He was not on top, but to show others that He is on top. This is what is said: “Father, glorify Your name” on earth (John 12:28). For he asks not to bestow glory that he did not have, but to show him the glory that he had, which he expresses by saying: “Glorify Me with glory, even though you had no peace before” (John 17:5).
Ps.144:2. I will bless You every day.
For Jews, this verse begins with the letter “bet.” He teaches that not a single day should be left without chants. Therefore, one must lift up and bless God with all one’s soul and thought, and glorify His name with the names and sayings used by mortals.
Ps.144:4. Generation and generation will praise Your works.
This means the Church, gathered from both nations, from the circumcision and from the pagans. He refers to those works of Him that He did at His coming, and hymns in different expressions, calling the same thing power, and splendor, and glory, and holiness, and miracles, and again power, and greatness, and goodness, and righteousness, and bounty.
Ps.144:6. And they speak of Your terrible power.
As those who have experienced and with right thought will say: how “terrible it is to fall into the hand of the living God” (Heb. 10:31), and “shout to God with a voice of joy: for the Lord on high is terrible” (Ps. 46:2-3). For they will say this because they fear and honor God. They will tell that His greatness has no limit, not because they described it with their knowledge, but because it is incomprehensible. For one Son knows the Father, and one Father knows the Son. If the Son reveals the Father to whomever he wants; then, as much as it is possible for creatures to see Him, and to the extent that man has prepared himself.
Ps.144:7. The memory of Your multitude of goodness will be regurgitated.
As a good God, He has shown goodness to everyone and is generous with all His deeds. But those who wish to take advantage of His goodness will be saved.
