God, the Finisher
Commentators explain that the Hebrew for “performeth” means to complete, perfect, or bring to a conclusion. David isn't just saying God can do things, but that God is actively completing His purposes for him. This applies to His promises, His providential care, and the work of salvation. As one scholar puts it, God is a “performing God” who finishes what He starts.
