We do not know when David wrote this psalm. Some Bible students think that Nehemiah wrote it 500 years after David died, using David's notes. It is an acrostic. David's Psalm of praise. This is David's Praise just as another psalm, Ps.86, is his Prayer. It is altogether praise, and praise pitched in a high key. David had blessed God many a time in other psalms, but this he regarded as his peculiar, his crown jewel of praise. Certainly David's praise is the best of praise, for it is that of a man of experience, of sincerity, of calm deliberation, and of intense warmth of the heart. 1 David, the earthly king of Israel, adores God who is his king. He blesses God's name giving Him praise with personal affection: this is an increasingly easy exercise as we advance in experience and grow in grace. David's praise of God was as eternal as God Himself. 2 David's praise was not intermittent - not one day in seven, but every day; not for a brief span, but for all time. Our love to God and our praise to Him should be a daily matter. Every day God sends unnumbered blessings to His children, and there is every reason why we should praise Him daily.
