Praise is Deeply Personal
Commentators like Spurgeon, Calvin, and Gill emphasize the shift from a general call to praise ("Praise ye the LORD") to a personal command ("Praise the LORD, O my soul"). This shows that true worship is not just a corporate activity but a deep, internal commitment. We must actively stir up our own hearts to praise God, ensuring our worship is authentic and comes from our innermost being.
