Praise from God's Sheep

Commentators emphasize that the vow of praise is rooted in the identity of the people. They are not just any people, but God's chosen people, described by John Gill as selected by "special choice, and by covenant grace." This relationship, like a shepherd to his sheep, is the foundation for their commitment to give thanks forever.
