God Creates Our Praise
Commentators explain that the phrase "I create the fruit of the lips" means God is the ultimate source of our praise. He doesn't just wait for us to thank Him; He actively provides the peace and healing that give us a reason to praise. As Hebrews 13:15 suggests, our thanksgiving is a response to His gracious work. All true praise originates from God's creative act of salvation.
