Praise in All Seasons
Commentators unanimously highlight that this verse is a deliberate turn from deep sorrow to worship. After lamenting the apparent failure of God's promises, the psalmist chooses to bless the Lord. This serves as a powerful model for believers to express faith and confidence in God's goodness, even in the midst of suffering and confusion. As Albert Barnes notes, true piety enables us to say, 'Blessed be God,' in all circumstances.
