Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 66:16

Theological / Devotional

All ye that fear God. David was willing to bear witness to God’s goodness before all, whether they were his countrymen or not (see on 2 Sam. 15:18).

Verses 16–19 are the fifth stanza. David calls on all faithful worshipers of God to recognize with him that God answers the prayers of those who are sincere and honest.

I will declare. David speaks for himself, and may well have spoken for the people whose king and leader he was.

My soul. Used idiomatically for “me” (see on Ps. 16:10).
