Boasting as Continual Praise

Commentators explain that the word for “boast” here is better understood as “praise.” The verse describes a continual, all-day-long lifestyle of praise, acknowledging that all past victories and successes came from God's favor, not human strength. This shifts the focus from self-reliance to God-reliance.
