Victory's True Response
Commentators note that after God lifts the psalmist's 'head up' in victory, his immediate response is not to gloat over his enemies, but to praise God. Charles Spurgeon contrasts this with an ungodly person who would curse their foes. For the believer, deliverance should lead directly to worship, turning gratitude toward the one in whom we place our trust.
