What can David say more to you? for you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.

Verse Takeaways

Speechless Before Grace

Commentators like Spurgeon and Gill explain that David's question, "what can David say more," isn't a sign of confusion but of being utterly overwhelmed. God's promises are so vast and his grace so profound that David is left in a state of grateful silence, his heart too full for words. This teaches that sometimes the deepest worship is speechless adoration.
