Gaebelein's Annotated Bible A Song or Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Psalm 108Israel’s Praise for Salvation 1. Israel’s praise (Psalm 108:1-4) 2. The inheritance (Psalm 108:5-9) 3. Through God alone (Psalm 108:10-13) This Psalm is not a patchwork of two other Psalms as the critics declare (Psalm 72:8-12 and Psalm 60:7-14), but it comes in as a Psalm of David to give another hint on Israel’s praise in the day of deliverance. Their heart is fixed to sing His praise. It is a praise not only amongst themselves, but a praise among the nations. Where they were once a byword they are now a blessing. And their deliverance and possession they will enjoy is not of themselves; it is through God and His power. The second part of the Psalm looks back to the time when deliverance had not yet come.
