Psalm 26
1. David resorts to God in confidence of his integrity














proclaiming
The Hebrew root for "proclaiming" is "שָׁמַע" (shama), which means to hear, listen, or obey. In the context of Psalm 26:7, it implies a public declaration or announcement. This word suggests an active and intentional sharing of one's faith and experiences with God. Historically, proclaiming God's deeds was a communal activity, often done in the temple or during festivals, emphasizing the importance of community in worship and testimony.

aloud
The word "aloud" emphasizes the vocal and public nature of the proclamation. It is not a silent or private act but one that is meant to be heard by others. This reflects the biblical tradition of oral storytelling and the importance of spoken word in ancient cultures. Speaking aloud also signifies confidence and boldness in one's faith, encouraging believers to be unashamed in their witness.

your praise
The phrase "your praise" refers to the act of glorifying God for His attributes and deeds. The Hebrew word for praise, "תְּהִלָּה" (tehillah), is often associated with songs and hymns. Praise is a central theme in the Psalms, serving as a reminder of God's sovereignty and goodness. It is both a personal and communal expression, drawing believers closer to God and to each other.

and telling
"Telling" involves recounting or narrating, which in Hebrew is "סָפַר" (saphar). This word conveys the idea of sharing accounts or testimonies. In the biblical context, telling of God's works was a way to pass down faith and history from generation to generation. It underscores the importance of remembering and sharing God's interventions and blessings in one's life.

of all your wonderful deeds
The phrase "of all your wonderful deeds" highlights the comprehensive nature of God's actions. The Hebrew word for "wonderful" is "נִפְלָאוֹת" (niflaot), which denotes things that are extraordinary or miraculous. This phrase calls believers to recognize and recount not just the grand miracles but also the everyday blessings and acts of God. It serves as a reminder of God's active presence in the world and in the lives of His people, encouraging a heart of gratitude and awe.

(7) That I may . . .--Literally, to make to hear the voice of praise.

Verse 7. - That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving; rather, to sound forth the voice of thanksgiving (Kay); or, to make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard (Revised Version). And tell of all thy wondrous works; or, recount them, enumerate them.
