Psalm 71
1. David, in confidence of faith, and experience of God's favor, prays both for himself,

My mouth
The phrase "My mouth" signifies the personal and intimate expression of the psalmist's devotion. In Hebrew, the word for mouth is "peh," which often represents speech or communication. This highlights the importance of verbal expression in worship and the power of spoken words in conveying one's faith and reliance on God. The mouth is a tool for praise, a theme recurrent in the Psalms, emphasizing that our words should be used to glorify God continually.

is filled
The term "is filled" suggests abundance and completeness. In the Hebrew context, the word "male" conveys the idea of being full or overflowing. This implies that the psalmist's praise is not sporadic or half-hearted but rather abundant and overflowing. It reflects a heart so consumed with gratitude and reverence for God that it cannot help but express this fullness through words.

with Your praise
"With Your praise" indicates the content of what fills the psalmist's mouth. The Hebrew word for praise, "tehillah," is derived from "halal," meaning to boast or to shine. This suggests that the psalmist is boasting in the Lord, celebrating His attributes and deeds. Praise is a central theme in the Psalms, serving as a reminder of God's greatness and the appropriate response of His people to His majesty and mercy.

declaring Your splendor
The phrase "declaring Your splendor" involves making known or proclaiming God's majesty and glory. The Hebrew word "nagad" means to announce or make conspicuous. This implies an active and intentional effort to communicate God's greatness to others. The psalmist is not content with private devotion but seeks to publicly declare God's splendor, encouraging others to recognize and worship Him.

all day long
"All day long" emphasizes the constancy and perseverance of the psalmist's praise. In Hebrew, the phrase "kol hayom" suggests an unending, continuous action. This reflects a life dedicated to worship, where praise is not confined to specific times or circumstances but is a perpetual state of being. It challenges believers to integrate worship into every aspect of their daily lives, maintaining a constant awareness of God's presence and goodness.

Verse 8. - Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. Praise alternates with complaint and prayer, even in this first portion of the psalm, preparing the way for the sustained praise of the second portion.
