A Personal Declaration of Faith

The verse begins with a powerful personal declaration. Commentators like Calvin and Gill highlight that this isn't just a general statement but a profound claim of a personal, covenant relationship with God. It's a choice to recognize God as one's own, especially amidst confusion or trouble, and this personal trust is the foundation for all true praise.
