Then my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness
This phrase emphasizes the psalmist's commitment to vocalize God's righteousness. In biblical context, righteousness refers to God's moral perfection and justice. The psalmist, traditionally understood to be David, often faced adversaries and sought God's intervention. Proclaiming God's righteousness is a response to divine deliverance and justice. This aligns with other scriptures, such as Psalm 71:15-16, where the psalmist declares God's righteousness and salvation. The act of proclaiming is not just personal but serves as a testimony to others, reflecting the cultural importance of oral tradition in ancient Israel.

and Your praises all day long.
The continuous nature of praise "all day long" signifies an unceasing devotion and gratitude towards God. This reflects the biblical principle of constant prayer and worship, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, which encourages believers to rejoice always and pray without ceasing. Historically, the practice of daily worship was integral to Jewish life, with set times for prayer and reflection. This phrase also points to the eschatological hope where God's people will eternally praise Him, as seen in Revelation 7:9-12. The psalmist's commitment to praise is a type of Christ, who perfectly fulfilled a life of worship and obedience to the Father.

Continuous Praise
David's commitment to praising God "all day long" serves as a model for us to maintain an attitude of worship and gratitude throughout our daily activities.

Response to Deliverance
When God delivers us from trials, our natural response should be to praise Him. This not only honors God but also strengthens our faith and witness to others.

The Power of the Tongue
Our words have the power to uplift and glorify God. We should be mindful of how we use our speech to reflect God's goodness and righteousness.Verse 28. - And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long (camp. vers. 9, 10, and 18). David means to premise perpetual gratitude and thankfulness. He will not merely return thanks publicly, once for all, in the great congregation (ver. 18), but will continue to praise God always.
