Praise for God's Action
David's vow to give thanks "for ever" is not based on a vague feeling, but on a specific conviction: "because thou hast done it." Commentators like Calvin and Barnes stress that this is a complete attribution of his deliverance to God's sovereign action. This teaches that true, lasting praise is rooted in recognizing and acknowledging God's specific work in our lives.
