The Meaning of Whole-Hearted Praise
Commentators emphasize that praising God "with my whole heart" means offering sincere, undivided praise. John Calvin notes this is the opposite of hypocritical praise or claiming some of the glory for ourselves. It is a conscious resolve to give God all the credit, engaging our entire being in worship. This sincerity is more important than perfection.
