Worship as Proclamation
Commentators emphasize that worship is not merely a private act but a public proclamation. The psalmist's goal is to "make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard." Scholars like Albert Barnes and John Calvin contrast this with the empty rituals of hypocrites, explaining that genuine worship has a purpose: to make God's goodness known and draw others to Him.
