God's Direct Promise

Commentators note a dramatic shift in this verse, as the speaker changes from the psalmist to God Himself. This is not just a human expression of faith; it is God directly confirming His promises to those who trust in Him. This divine interruption adds a powerful layer of authority and assurance to the believer's confidence.
