Psalms 138:1

"Psalms."

Key Reflection

The opening verse of Psalm 138 begins with a declaration of thanksgiving and praise, reflecting David's deep faith in God’s unwavering trustworthiness. The verses go on to assert God's supremacy over all, emphasizing His sovereignty and the importance of trusting Him wholeheartedly, even when circumstances may seem challenging.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I will praise thee with my whole heart -Reserving nothing m my heart to give to idols or to other gods. All that constitutes praise to God as God, he would address to him alone. He would use no language, and cherish no feeling, which implied a belief that there was any other God; he would indulge in no attachment which would be inconsistent with supreme attachment to God, or which would tend to draw away his affections from him. See the notes atPsalms 9:1. Before the gods will I sing praise unto thee -The idols; all idols; in preference to them all.
