How great are Your works, O LORD
The phrase "How great are Your works, O LORD," begins with an exclamation of awe and reverence. The Hebrew word for "great" is "גָּדוֹל" (gadol), which conveys not only size but also importance and significance. This word is often used in the Old Testament to describe God's mighty acts and His sovereign power over creation. The "works" of the LORD refer to His creation, providence, and acts of salvation throughout history. In a conservative Christian perspective, this acknowledges God's ongoing involvement in the world and His ultimate authority over all things. The use of "O LORD" (YHWH) emphasizes the covenantal relationship between God and His people, reminding believers of His faithfulness and steadfast love.

how deep are Your thoughts!
The phrase "how deep are Your thoughts!" speaks to the unfathomable wisdom and knowledge of God. The Hebrew word for "deep" is "עָמֹק" (amok), which suggests something profound and beyond human comprehension. God's "thoughts" refer to His divine plans and purposes, which are often hidden from human understanding but are always perfect and just. This reflects the biblical theme that God's ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). In a conservative Christian view, this encourages believers to trust in God's wisdom, even when His plans are not immediately clear. It is a call to humility, recognizing that God's understanding is infinite and surpasses human reasoning.

(5) Thoughts.--Better, plans, or purposes. (Comp. in addition to references in margin, Psalm 36:6.)

Verse 5. - O Lord, how great are thy works! (comp. Psalm 40:5). Mighty and wonderful, i.e., are the ways of Providence. And thy thoughts are very deep (comp. Job 11:8).
