Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Psalms 145:12
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
12. his mighty acts ] Somewhat awkwardly, to our ideas, the Psalmist passes from the second person to the third. The LXX removes the difficulty by reading the second person; hence, through the Vulg., the P.B.V. “that thy power, thy glory, and mightiness of thy kingdom might be known unto men.”

To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts – To bring other people to understand and to appreciate the evidences of the power of God. A man who sees this himself will wish that others may see it also. This is the foundation of the desire which warms and animates the heart of the Christian missionary – the desire to make the great truths of redemption known as far as possible, even to the ends of the earth.
And the glorious majesty of his kingdom – And the glory of the majesty of his reign. They wish to communicate the knowledge of this to those ignorant of it. They themselves see this to be glorious, and they wish that all others may see it also.

To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,…. As in
Ps 145:4; the acts of his power in providence and grace; in the salvation of his people, and the destruction of their enemies; which, with others, are made known in the ministry of the word, to those who were strangers to them, to those without the church, who wait at Wisdom’s gates, and at the posts of her door; Aben Ezra interprets it of little ones, or children that knew them not, whose parents would make them known to them: rather it designs the common people, instructed by the word and the ministers of it:
and the glorious majesty of his kingdom; the majesty of him as King, and the glory of his kingdom, Ps 145:5; and the perpetuity of it, as follows.

Ver. 12. To make known to the sons of men ] This is the end why the Church is collected snd the gospel preached. God aimeth at his own glory in all, as well he may, since he hath none higher than himself to whom to have respect.
