What is the context?
The song calls it good to give thanks and proclaim God’s loving devotion and faithfulness. Morning and night frame a life of praise.
Instruments join the song because God’s deeds have made the speaker glad. His works and thoughts are celebrated as great and deep.
The praise is a response to what God does. The poem’s Sabbath heading gives a setting for worship without deciding every later Christian question about days or instruments.
How is this passage commonly understood?
Wesley reads the deep thoughts through God’s governance of the world and His people. The focus remains divine wisdom, rather than a claim that a person must understand every event before giving thanks.
