Contextual Overview

10 All thy workes shall confesse it vnto thee O God: and thy saintes shall blesse thee. 11 They shal shewe the glorie of thy kingdome: and talke of thy power. 12 That they may make knowen to the children of men his manifolde power: & the glorious maiestie of his kingdome. 13 Thy kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome: and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages. 14 God vpholdeth all such as fall: and lyfteth vp all those that be bowyng downewarde. 15 The eyes of all wayte vpon thee: and thou geuest them their meate in due season. 16 Thou openest thyne hande: and thou satisfiest the desire of euery thing liuing. 17 God is righteous in all his wayes: and holy in all his workes. 18 God is nye vnto all them that call vpon hym: vnto all such as call vpon hym in trueth. 19 He wyll fulfyll the desire of them that feare hym: he will also heare their crye, and he wyll saue them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The Lord [is] nigh unto all them that call upon him,.... He is not only nigh unto them in relation, being their near kinsman, brother, father, husband, and head, but with respect to place and presence; not in a general way, as he is the omnipresent God, and so nigh to all, and from whose presence there is no fleeing; but in a special way, he is so nigh to them as he is not unto others, Deuteronomy 4:7. He is in their hearts, and dwells there by faith, and they dwell in him; his blood is sprinkled in their consciences, and his righteousness is unto them and upon them; his salvation is brought near to them, to their very hearts, and they are nearer that than when they first believed; he is nigh to them that call upon him, for Christ is equally called upon as the Father; see 1 Corinthians 1:2; so as to give them what they ask of him, and to help them in all their times of need;

to all that call upon him in truth; in faith and with fervency, constantly and importunely, and in the sincerity and uprightness of their hearts; with true hearts, cordially and affectionately; their hearts and mouths agreeing together, as Kimchi observes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him - There is a sense in which he is “nigh” to all, for he is everywhere present; but there is a special sense in which he seems to be near to us; in which he manifests himself to us; in which he gives us evidence of his presence. It is in prayer, in praise, in his ordinances - in his gracious interpositions in our behalf - in the peace and joy which we have in communion with him. Compare the notes at Psalms 34:18 : “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart.”

To all that call upon him in truth - In sincerity; not hypocritically; worshipping him as the true God, and with a sincere desire to obtain his favor. Compare the notes at John 4:24. We can have no hope that God will hear us unless we are sincere in our worship. He sees the heart, and he will act toward us as we are, and not as we profess to be.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 145:18. The Lord is nigh — Whoever calls upon God in truth, with a sincere and upright heart, one that truly desires his salvation, to that person God is nigh. The following verse shows he is not only near to praying people, but

1. He will hear their cry.

2. Fulfil their desires.

3. Save them.

Reader, lift up thy soul in prayer to this merciful God.
