In biblical context, the mouth is often seen as an instrument of expression, reflecting the heart's devotion (<a href="/matthew/12-34.htm">Matthew 12:34</a>). The act of declaring praise is a common theme in the Psalms, where the psalmist often vows to speak of God's greatness (<a href="/psalms/34.htm">Psalm 34:1</a>). Historically, this reflects the Jewish tradition of oral proclamation, where the spoken word was a primary means of teaching and worship. Theologically, it underscores the importance of verbal confession in faith, as seen in <a href="/romans/10-9.htm">Romans 10:9-10</a>, where confession with the mouth is linked to salvation.<p><b>let every creature bless His holy name</b><br>This phrase extends the call to worship beyond the individual to all creation. It reflects the biblical theme of universal praise, where not only humans but all of creation is called to honor God (Psalm 148). The term "creature" includes all living beings, highlighting the comprehensive scope of God's dominion and the call for all to recognize His sovereignty. The concept of blessing God's name is rooted in the understanding of God's name as a representation of His character and deeds (<a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14-15</a>). This call to bless is a recognition of God's holiness, a central attribute of His nature (<a href="/isaiah/6-3.htm">Isaiah 6:3</a>).<p><b>forever and ever.</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the eternal nature of God's praise. In biblical terms, "forever and ever" signifies an unending duration, reflecting the eternal nature of God Himself (<a href="/psalms/90-2.htm">Psalm 90:2</a>). It points to the eschatological hope found in Scripture, where God's kingdom and His praise will endure eternally (<a href="/revelation/5-13.htm">Revelation 5:13</a>). This eternal perspective is a reminder of the everlasting covenant between God and His people, and the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises in the new creation (<a href="/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21:1-4</a>). The phrase also connects to the eternal reign of Christ, who is worshiped forever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords (<a href="/revelation/19-16.htm">Revelation 19:16</a>).<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.
