Praise as Allegiance
Commentators note that when King David calls God "my King," he models true worship. As an earthly king himself, David places his own authority under God's ultimate sovereignty. This verse isn't just about singing; it's a personal declaration of allegiance, acknowledging God as the supreme ruler over every aspect of our lives.
