Praise God for Who He Is
Commentators note that David's praise is directed not just at God's actions, but at His very character. He praises God 'according to his righteousness' and for His 'name,' which signifies His essential nature. This teaches that our worship should be rooted in an adoration for who God is—holy, just, and faithful—and not merely for the blessings He provides.
