Awe-Struck into Silence
Commentators explain that the phrase 'praise waiteth' or 'praise is silent' does not mean a lack of praise. Instead, it describes a heart so overwhelmed by God's majesty that words fail. It signifies a quiet, reverent readiness, where the soul is stilled in awe before bursting forth in worship, recognizing that our best praise is like silence before an infinite God.
