Psalms111:2

2 The works of the LORD are great , sought out of all them that have pleasure therein .

Either, 1. the works of Creation: or rather, 2. the works of his Providence in the World, and especially in and for his Church and people; of which he speaks in the rest of the Psalm.

For the infinite power and wisdom and goodness manifested in them.

Highly valued and regarded, as this very word and phrase is used Deut. 11. 12. Isa. 62. 12. or frequently called to mind, and diligently meditated upon, when others either never regard them, or instantly forget them: or, found out, as this word is taken Isai. 65. 1. the antecedent being put for the consequent, which is frequent in Scripture, as Rom. 12. 2. where proving or trying (for so the Greek word there signifies) is put for approving, which follows after it. And, found out, i. e. truly and throughly understood, both as to the nature of them, and Gods counsels and ends in them; whereas the works of God are oft-times not apprehended or minded, or are mistaken and misconstrued, by ungodly men.

Of all them who take delight in observing and considering the works of God.
