Psalms 111:2

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

The works of the Lord are great - (Deuteronomy 4:34; Revelation 15:3.)

Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. So the Syriac, Chaldaic, and Jerome. [ chepªtseeyhem (H2656), from the verbal adjective chaapeets (H2655). This is rare: for the adjective in the construct state ought to retain its tsere' (ee): as in Psalms 35:27; Psalms 40:14, chªpeetseey]. "Sought out" implies that the godly make them the object of diligent seeking and finding by prayer, and of profit and comfort by meditation (Psalms 143:5; Psalms 119:45; Psalms 119:94; Psalms 119:155; Psalms 1:2). The godly find "the secret of the Lord" by seeking, and have pleasure in it when found. But Gejer, from Bucer, translates, 'sought out according to all their (the saints': Psalms 111:1) desires' [the regular form from the noun cheepets (H2656)]: such as to satisfy all the desires of the saints (cf. 1 Kings 9:11). So Hengstenberg.
