From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever -As the result of this gracious interposition. Compare the notes atIsaiah 38:20. The meaning is, that he would do this constantly. It would be the regular business of his life. That I may daily perform my vows -The solemn promises which I have made in my exile; the purposes which I have expressed to devote myself to thee.
