Psalms 145:3

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

145:3. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. Worship should be great praise for a great God. Praise may be said to be great when the song contains great matter, when the hearts producing it are intensely fervent, and when large numbers unite in the great acclaim.

And his greatness is unsearchable. Song should be founded upon search; hymns composed without thought are of no worth. Yet when we meditate most, and search most studiously, we shall still find ourselves surrounded with unknowable wonders, which will baffle all attempts to sing them worthily. The best adoration of the Unsearchable is to own him to be so. He is past finding out, and therefore his deserved praise is still above and beyond all that we can render to him.
