תהלים, פרק קמ״ה, פסוק י״א

The constant devotion of pious individuals is not kept private; it naturally flows outward. Their continuous praise takes the form of actively teaching God's greatness and spreading awareness to those who do not yet know Him [אבן עזרא]. The heart of this expression is their desire to speak about God's absolute rule over all creation [ביאור שטיינזלץ, מאירי]. They emphasize that as the Creator, His endless power and ability actively sustain every living creature [רד״ק].

When declaring God's greatness, there is a distinct relationship between His royal glory and His mighty acts. One perspective views His powerful deeds as direct proof of His kingship. The spiritual guides of the people first announce the overarching glory of God's kingdom, and then they point to His specific acts of power as clear, tangible evidence of that majesty [אלשיך]. Furthermore, recounting these acts serves a deeper purpose: it reveals to humanity how God's strict judgments are ultimately softened and sweetened by His mercy [חומת אנך].

Another approach understands these concepts as representing two entirely different ways God guides the world. His royal glory refers to the natural, predictable order of the universe, much like a human king who governs his country through established, orderly laws. In contrast, His might represents the extraordinary—the miracles and wonders that actively alter the laws of nature. When discussing these miraculous events, the faithful do not just mention them briefly; they speak about them at great length and in rich detail [מלבי״ם].
