Psalms 73:28

WEB

But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

KJV

But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

Commentary

But it is good for me to draw near to God,.... In prayer, and other acts of religious worship; to attend the word and ordinances in the sanctuary, where the psalmist had lately been delivered out of a sore temptation, and so had a rec ent experience, which was fresh in his mind, of the advantages of such exercises; for it is both an honourable good, what is becoming and commendable, and a pleasant good, what yields delight and satisfaction, and a profitable good, to draw nigh to God by Christ, the new and living way, assisted by the Holy Spirit; which, when done aright, is with faith, sincerity, reverence, and a holy boldness: I have put my trust in the Lord God; as the rock of his refuge and salvation, as his portion and inheritance: that I may declare all thy works; of providence and grace, by proclaiming the wisdom, power, goodness, and faithfulness of God in them; by giving him the glory of them, and by expressing thankfulness for them, both by words and deeds.
