The "they" refers to the people of God, who are called to testify to His mighty works. In the biblical context, God's awesome deeds often refer to acts of deliverance and miracles, such as the parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14) and the conquest of Canaan (Joshua 6). These events are not only historical but serve as a reminder of God's sovereignty and power. The term "awesome" underscores the fear and reverence that God's actions inspire. In the New Testament, the apostles continue this tradition by proclaiming the power of God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ (<a href="/acts/2-22.htm">Acts 2:22-24</a>). This phrase also connects to the idea of God's deeds being a witness to the nations, as seen in <a href="/psalms/96-3.htm">Psalm 96:3</a>, where the psalmist calls for declaring God's glory among the nations.<p><b>and I will declare Your greatness</b><br>The shift from "they" to "I" highlights personal responsibility in worship and testimony. The psalmist takes individual ownership in declaring God's greatness, which is a central theme throughout the Psalms. The term "greatness" encompasses God's attributes, including His omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. Historically, the declaration of God's greatness was a key component of Israel's worship, as seen in the Shema (<a href="/deuteronomy/6-4.htm">Deuteronomy 6:4-5</a>), which calls for loving God with all one's heart, soul, and strength. This personal declaration is also prophetic, pointing to the ultimate revelation of God's greatness in Jesus Christ, who embodies the fullness of God (<a href="/colossians/1-19.htm">Colossians 1:19</a>). The act of declaring God's greatness is not only a form of worship but also a means of evangelism, as it invites others to recognize and respond to God's majesty.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/145.htm">Psalm 145</a>, King David, is known for his deep relationship with God and his role as a leader of Israel.
