- 1 Chronicles 16:28
Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:281 voice
And again, in another prophecy, the Spirit of prophecy, through the same David, intimated that Christ, after He had been crucified, should reign, and spoke as follows: "Sing to the Lord, all the earth, and day by day declare His salvation. For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, to be feared above all the gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols of devils; but God made the heavens. Glory and praise are before His face, strength and glorying are in the habitation of His holiness. Give Glory to the Lord, the Father everlasting.

You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!
Commentary on Psalms 22:232 voices
Once the Lord's passion has been related a little more extensively, he moves on to the third section in order that their hearts may not be distraught by a lingering sadness. In this part, he addresses the faithful, so that they may praise him, recognizing …

Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together.
Commentary on Psalms 34:32 voices
Then when he says, "Magnify," he exhorts to praise. And first to interior praise. Second, to exterior, at "And let us exalt." As to the first he says, "Magnify the Lord with me." To magnify and to praise God are the same thing, because the …

Commentary on Psalms 50:152 voices

Thomas Aquinas· Exposition on the Psalms of David, 1274Patristic
And call upon me in the day of trouble,.... This is another part of spiritual sacrifice or worship, which is much more acceptable to God than legal sacrifices.

- Psalms 50:23
He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rights his way, I will show the salvation of God.”
Commentary on Psalms 50:231 voice
Who among us is of such measure and kind to offer to God "salutary sacrifices" and a "sacrifice of praise"? I believe that one to be a person who praises God in all his actions and fulfills through him what our Lord and Savior says: "That people may see your good works and praise your Father who is in heaven." Therefore, this one offered "a sacrifice of praise" for whose deeds, doctrine, word, habits and discipline, God is praised and blessed.

- Psalms 57:5
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
Commentary on Psalms 57:52 voices

Bede· Homilies on the Gospels 2:15, 735Patristic
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens,.... That is, show thyself to be God, that sittest in the heavens, and art higher than they, by saving me, and disappointing mine enemies; that I, and those that are with me, may magnify the Lord and exalt his name together.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Psalms 69:30
I will praise God’s name in song and exalt Him with thanksgiving.
Commentary on Psalms 69:302 voices
Always indeed, dearly beloved, "the earth is full of the Lord's kindness," and the nature of things itself is the teacher to each one of the faithful in the worship of God, while "heaven and earth, the sea and all things that are in them" proclaim the goodness and power of their Creator. The wonderful beauty of the elements that serve him demands a due thanksgiving from the understanding creature.
Leo the Great· SERMON 44:1, 461Patristic
I will praise the name of God with a song,.... The "name" of God is himself, his perfections and attributes; which are to be "praised" by all his creatures, and especially his saints; and here by the Messiah, who sung the praise of God with his disciples at the supper, a little before his death; and in the great congregation in heaven, upon his ascension thither, having finished the great work of man's redemption.

- Psalms 86:12
I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever.
Commentary on Psalms 86:122 voices
. Ver. 12. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart. When my heart is one, I will give thee all of it. Praise should never be rendered with less than all our heart, and soul, and strength, or it will be both unreal and unacceptable. This is the second time in the psalm that David calls the Lord "my God", the first time he was in an agony of prayer (Ps 86:2), and now he is in an ecstacy of praise.
Charles Spurgeon· The Treasury of David (1869-1885)Reformed

- Psalms 99:9
Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
Commentary on Psalms 99:92 voices
. Ver. 9. Exalt the LORD our God. A second time the delightful title of Jehovah our God is used, and it is quickly followed by a third. The Psalm is Trinitarian in its whole structure. In each of his sacred persons the Lord is the God of his people; the Father is ours, the Son is ours, and the Holy Spirit is ours: let us exalt him with all our ransomed powers. And worship at his holy hill. Where he appoints his temple let us resort.
Charles Spurgeon· The Treasury of David (1869-1885)Reformed

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.

- Psalms 118:28
You are my God, and I will give You thanks. You are my God, and I will exalt You.
Commentary on Psalms 118:282 voices
. Now comes the closing song of the champion, and of each one of his admirers. Ver. 28. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee, my mighty God who hath done this mighty and marvellous thing. Thou shalt be mine, and all the praise my soul is capable of shall be poured forth at thy feet. Thou art my God, I will exalt thee. Thou hast exalted me, and as far as my praises can do it, I will exalt thy name.

- Isaiah 24:15
Therefore glorify the LORD in the east. Extol the name of the LORD, the God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
Commentary on Isaiah 24:152 voices
By "sea" he means the multitude of nations, and by "coastlands," perhaps, he means cities. All their inhabitants will "raise their voices" when the divine wrath comes upon them. But the majesty of Christ will somehow be in the sea, that is, in all those nations, and they will realize that it is through divine Providence that they are destroyed and annihilated. They are destroyed because their impiety provoked the Almighty God; hence they will reject their gods who are unable to help them. That is how the majesty of the Lord is celebrated.
Cyril of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON ISAIAH 2:5.24, 444Patristic
(Verses 13-15) Just as when a few olives, which remain, are shaken from the olive tree, and the grape harvest is finished, these will lift up their voice and praise when the Lord is glorified, they will neigh from the sea: therefore, glorify the Lord in your teachings, in the islands of the sea proclaim the name of the Lord God of Israel.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
- Isaiah 25:1
O LORD, You are my God! I will exalt You; I will praise Your name. For You have worked wonders— plans formed long ago— in perfect faithfulness.
Commentary on Isaiah 25:11 voice
(Chapter 25 — Verse 1 and following) O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for you have done marvelous things, faithful and true are your ancient thoughts. Amen. For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into ruins, a palace of foreigners, so that it is no longer a city and will never be rebuilt. On this the strong people will praise you, the city of the mighty nations will fear you.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
- Isaiah 25:3
Therefore, a strong people will honor You. The cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
Commentary on Isaiah 25:32 voices
Israel was called to the knowledge of God through the tutoring of the law and was richly endowed with the things of God. It was delivered [from Egypt] and inherited the Promised Land. Although there were many other peoples living in other parts of the world, all were alien to spiritual matters and heavenly things. They had not tasted the gifts that come from God.
Cyril of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON ISAIAH 3:1.25, 444Patristic
(Chapter 25 — Verse 1 and following) O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for you have done marvelous things, faithful and true are your ancient thoughts. Amen. For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into ruins, a palace of foreigners, so that it is no longer a city and will never be rebuilt. On this the strong people will praise you, the city of the mighty nations will fear you.
