Talk ye of all his wondrous works - נפלאתיו niphleothaiv, "of his miracles." Who have so many of these to boast of as Christians! Christianity is a tissue of miracles; and every part of the work of grace on the soul is a miracle. Genuine Christian converts may talk of miracles from morning to night; and they should talk of them, and recommend to others their miracle-working God and Savior.
Sing unto him - Sing before him; offer him praise.
Sing psalms unto him - The word here rendered “sing psalms” means properly “to prune,” and then, to” cut off,” as a discourse at regular periods; or, to utter in rhythmical numbers; and then it means to accompany such words with an instrument of music. The idea here is, that he is to be approached, not merely with “singing,” but with sentiments expressed in the form of regular composition - in musical numbers.
Talk ye - The word used here very commonly means to meditate, to muse (compare the notes at Psalm 1:2), but would here seem to be employed in the sense of “talking over,” to wit, in singing. That is, In the psalms used let there be a “narrative” of what God has done. Let his works be the subject of the words used in the psalm.
Of all his wondrous works - Of what he has done that is suited to excite wonder and admiration. Compare Psalm 77:12.
O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. Psalm 105:1, 2. CC 364.1

And filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

And He saved them out of their distresses.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And brake their bands in sunder.
Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!”

A congregation may be the poorest in the land. It may be without the attractions of any outward show; but if the members possess the principles of the character of Christ, angels will unite with them in their worship. The praise and thanksgiving from grateful hearts will ascend to God as a sweet oblation. PK 566.1
