Gill's Exposition on Psalms 48:10
According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto the ends of the earth,.... That is, as he himself is in the perfections of his nature, which are displayed in the works of his bands, throughout
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 48:10
According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 48:10
For this and such-like glorious actions thou art praised and acknowledged, and evidently proved to be such a one as thou hast affirmed thyself to be in thy word, God almighty, or all-sufficient, the Lord of hosts, the King of thy church and people, and a strong Tower to all that trust in thee, and all other things which thou art called in Scripture. Thy name is not an empty title, but is filled up with honourable and praiseworthy works, answerable to it. Full of righteousness, i.e. of righteous actions; by which thou discoverest thy justice and holiness in destroying the wicked and incorrigible enemies of thy people, and in fulfilling thy promises made to thy church.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 48:10
Psalms 48:10 According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.Ver. 10. According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise] i.e. It is infinite and inexpressible, Psalms 148:1; Psalms 145:3. God’ s name is exalted above all blessing and praise, as those holy Levites acknowledge, Nehemiah 9:5. The distance between God and us is infinite, and we should labour to fill up that distance, if possible, with our praises. Thy right hand is full of righteousness] i.e. Of noble acts, which thou hast done for us, according to thy promise, Psalms 25:10.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 48:10
(10) According to thy name . . .—“Name” here has plainly the meaning we give it in the phrase, “name and fame.” God’s praise was up to the reputation His great deeds had won. (Comp. Psalms 138:2.) Thy right hand is full of righteousness.—Not like Jove’s, as heathen say, full of thunderbolts, but of justice.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 48:10
Verse 10. According to thy name] As far as thou art known, so far art thou praised; and where thou art known, thou wilt have praise to the end of the earth. And why? "Thy right hand is full of righteousness." Thou art continually dispensing thy blessings to the children of men.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 48:10
10. According to thy name] As is thy name (R.V.). God’s revelation of His power and lovingkindness receives worldwide celebration. Cp. Isaiah 33:13. To other nations beside Judah the destruction of the great tyrant’s army was a cause for rejoicing. Cp. Psalms 46:8 ff.; Nahum 3:19. thy right hand is full of righteousness] Ready to be exercised on behalf of Thy people in judgements on their enemies (Psalms 48:11). Cp. Isaiah 33:5.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 48:10
According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise - That is, as far as thy name is known, it will be praised; or, the effect of knowing it will be to inspire praise.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 48:10
9-13. Here begins the special strain of thanksgiving and praise. We have thought… in the midst of thy temple—The king and people had repaired to the temple to ask counsel of God. See 2 Chronicles 20:3-13, to which this alludes.
