Praise as a Joyful Overflow

Multiple commentators explain that the Hebrew for "abundantly utter" means to gush, pour forth, or bubble over like a fountain. This suggests that praise is not a quiet duty but a joyful, irrepressible overflow from a heart filled with the memory of God's goodness. As John Calvin notes, this praise often bursts forth when we recall God's personal mercy in our own lives.
