A. James Montgomery Boice - ‘the relationship of God to the godly person is like the relationship of the sun to the moon. The sun shines by its own glorious light. The moon does not, but still it shines, and the way it shines is by reflecting the light coming to it from the sun. if you are devoutly looking to God as you live your life, something of the glory of God will be seen in you and will be reflected from you to others.’ 

B. Sprugeon – “the psalm cannot be viewed as the extolling of man, for it commences with ‘praise the LORD’, and it is intended to give to God all the honour of His grace which is manifested in the sons of God”
