Theological / Devotional

Do we give thanks. The use of the first person plural pronoun suggests that the psalm was intended for public worship. The repetition of the phrase lends liturgical emphasis.

Name. See on Ps. 5:11 ; 7:17.

Is near. In His manifestation of power in delivering Israel from the enemy, God manifests His nearness (see Deut. 4:7).

Thy wondrous works declare. Or, “they recount Thy wondrous deeds.”
