From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Let my mouth be filled -This is an appeal to himself, in view of the goodness of God, to praise him always. See the notes atPsalms 35:28. With thy praise -With the expressions of praise. And with thy honor all the day -With such expressions as shall promote thy glory, and make thy honor known.
