Commentators universally see this verse as a call for all believers, not just pastors, to share God's truth. Albert Barnes notes that every person has a sphere of influence to declare and defend God's word. The psalmist didn't keep God's law as a private treasure but openly spoke of it, setting an example for us to do the same in our own circles.
