Psalms 34:1
I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.
BSB
ASV
I will bless Jehovah at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
KJV
I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
The Lord loves thankful people. They never cease to praise him, and they regularly thank him. In both good times and bad times they offer praise and thanksgiving to God. They worship the Lord, the God of times, without regard to what the times are like.
In this former part of the psalm, I. David engages and excites himself to praise God. Though it was his fault that he changed his behaviour, yet it was God's mercy that he escaped, and the mercy was so much the greater in that God did not deal with him according to the desert of his dissimulation, and we must in every thing give thanks.
I will bless the Lord at all times. He is resolved and fixed, I will; he is personally and for himself determined, let others so as they may; he is intelligent in head and inflamed in heart—he knows to whom the praise is due, and what is due, and for what and when. To Jehovah, and not to second causes our gratitude is to be rendered. The Lord hath by right a monopoly in his creatures praise.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
