Translation commentary on Psalm 145:10

Again the psalmist proclaims the universal nature of the praise given to Yahweh. In verse 10a All thy works is parallel to all thy saints in line b; this makes it more likely that the meaning in verse 10 is “All your creatures,” that is, all living beings, including not only humankind but the other creatures as well. For saints see comments on “godly” in 4.3; for bless see verse 1.
