span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.145.1" class="versetxt"> Alleluja, Agg�i et Zachari�. [Lauda, anima mea, Dominum.
Laudabo Dominum in vita mea;
psallam Deo meo quamdiu fuero.
Nolite confidere in principibus,
in filiis hominum, in quibus non est salus.
Exibit spiritus ejus, et revertetur in terram suam;
in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum.
Beatus cujus Deus Jacob adjutor ejus,
spes ejus in Domino Deo ipsius:
qui fecit c�lum et terram,
mare, et omnia qu� in eis sunt.
Qui custodit veritatem in s�culum;
facit judicium injuriam patientibus;
dat escam esurientibus.
Dominus solvit compeditos;
Dominus illuminat c�cos.
Dominus erigit elisos;
Dominus diligit justos.
Dominus custodit advenas,
pupillum et viduam suscipiet,
et vias peccatorum disperdet.
Regnabit Dominus in s�cula;
Deus tuus, Sion, in generationem et generationem.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou openest thine hand,.... Not of providence, but of grace, in which all things are, and from whence they come; and which the Lord opens liberally and bountifully, and gives out all things richly to enjoy; all things pertaining to life and godliness; grace here, with all the supplies of it, and glory hereafter:

and satisfiest the desire of every living thing; not of every savage creature; every lion, bear, wolf, c. for then there would be no living in some parts of the world: nor of every carnal, lustful, worldly, and covetous man who never say they have enough, or are ever satisfied: but of everyone that is made spiritually alive, quickened by the Spirit and grace of God; these desire spiritual things, spiritual food, more grace and more communion with God, and conformity to Christ; and these desires are before the Lord; and sooner or later they are satisfied, they have what they desire; especially this will be their case, when they awake in the divine likeness. The words may be rendered, "and satisfies every living one with that which is acceptable [with] favour" i; with good will; with lovingkindness; which is better than life: so Naphtali is said to be "satisfied with favour",

Deuteronomy 33:23; as all living saints are or will be.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thou openest thine hand - By the mere opening of the hand all needful gifts are bestowed on the creatures dependent on thee. The same words are found in Psalms 104:28; see the notes at that passage.

And satisfiest the desire of every living thing - All kinds of creatures - people, fowls, beasts, fishes, insects - the innumerable multitudes that swarm on the earth, in the air, in the waters. In Psalms 104:28, it is, “They are filled with good.” The meaning is essentially the same. Of course this is to be taken in a general sense. It cannot mean that absolutely no one ever needs, or ever perishes from want, but the idea is that of the amazing beneficence and fullness of God in being able and willing to satisfy such multitudes; to keep them from perishing by cold, or hunger, or nakedness. And, in fact, how few birds perish by hunger; how few of the infinite number of the inhabitants of the sea; how few animals that roam over deserts, or in vast plains; how few people; how few even of the insect tribes - how few in the world revealed by the microscope - the world beneath us - the innumerable multitudes of living things too small even to be seen by the naked eye of man!

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 145:16. Thou openest thine hand — What a hand is this that holds in it all the food that meets the desires and necessities of the universe of creatures! A very large volume might be written upon this: The proper kinds of food for the various classes of animals.
