Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 145:5

Verse 5. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help - While he that trusts in man is miserable, he that trusts in God is happy. In the son of man, µda b ben Adam, there is no help, h[w�t teshuah, no saving principle. Every son of Adam naturally comes into the world without this, and must continue so till the Lord open the eyes of the blind, ver. 8; but a measure of light is given from that true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. This son of Adam returns to his earth, wtmdal leadmatho, to the ground, from which he was taken; this refers directly to Gen. ii. 7; iii. 19. But he that has the God for his help who helped Jacob in his distress, and was with him, and sustained him in and through all adversities, can never be destitute; for this God changes not; he lives for ever, and his projects cannot perish. He has purposed that Israel shall be delivered from this captivity. Cyrus may change, but God will not; trust therefore in HIM. He has all power; he made heaven and earth; he has them under his government and at his disposal; and should earth itself fail, heaven endures. And he keeps his truth for ever; and therefore his promises must be fulfilled to them that trust in him. Fear not.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 5-10 - The psalmist encourages us to put confidence in God. We must hope in the providence of God for all we need as to this life, and in the grac of God for that which is to come. The God of heaven became a man tha he might become our salvation. Though he died on the cross for ou sins, and was laid in the grave, yet his thoughts of love to us did no perish; he rose again to fulfil them. When on earth, his miracles wer examples of what he is still doing every day. He grants deliverance to captives bound in the chains of sin and Satan. He opens the eyes of the understanding. He feeds with the bread of life those who hunger for salvation; and he is the constant Friend of the poor in spirit, the helpless: with him poor sinners, that are as fatherless, find mercy and his kingdom shall continue for ever. Then let sinners flee to him and believers rejoice in him. And as the Lord shall reign for ever, le us stir up each other to praise his holy name __________________________________________________________________
