Psalm 61
1. David flees to God upon his former experience
4. He vows perpetual service unto him, because of his promises














So I will ever sing praise to Your name
This phrase begins with a commitment to perpetual worship. The Hebrew word for "sing praise" is "zamar," which implies making music or singing with instruments. This act of worship is not just vocal but involves the whole being, engaging both heart and mind in adoration. Historically, singing has been a central part of Jewish worship, as seen in the Temple services led by the Levites. The phrase "ever" indicates an eternal commitment, suggesting that worship is not confined to earthly life but extends into eternity. The "name" of God in Hebrew culture represents His character and essence, thus praising His name is acknowledging His attributes and deeds.

fulfilling my vows day by day
The word "fulfilling" comes from the Hebrew "shalam," which means to complete or make whole. This implies a sense of duty and devotion, where the psalmist is committed to keeping promises made to God. Vows in the biblical context were serious commitments, often made in times of distress or gratitude, and fulfilling them was a sign of faithfulness and integrity. The phrase "day by day" suggests a continual, daily practice of living out one's commitments to God. It reflects a life of consistent devotion, where each day is an opportunity to honor God through actions and obedience. This daily fulfillment of vows is a testament to the psalmist's dedication and love for God, serving as an example for believers to live a life of consistent faithfulness.

Verse 8. - So will I sing praise unto thy Name forever. This, if thou doest, then I, for my part, so long as I have my being, will praise thy Name, thus performing day by day what I have vowed. The writer's continuance in life, and retention of consciousness, though not actually asserted, is implied.
