In God we have boasted all day long
This phrase reflects a deep trust and confidence in God, acknowledging Him as the source of strength and victory. The act of boasting in God is a recurring theme in the Psalms, emphasizing reliance on divine power rather than human strength (Psalm 20:7). Historically, Israel's victories were attributed to God's intervention, as seen in battles like Jericho (Joshua 6). This boasting is not prideful but a declaration of God's faithfulness and might. It aligns with the biblical principle of giving glory to God for successes, as seen in 1 Corinthians 1:31, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."

and Your name we will praise forever
Praising God's name signifies worship and reverence for His character and deeds. In ancient Israel, God's name represented His presence and covenant relationship with His people (Exodus 3:14-15). The commitment to praise "forever" indicates an eternal perspective, recognizing God's unchanging nature and eternal kingdom. This eternal praise is echoed in Revelation 5:13, where all creation worships God. The cultural context of the Psalms often involved communal worship, where God's name was exalted in song and prayer, reflecting a lifestyle of continuous devotion.

Selah
The term "Selah" appears frequently in the Psalms, though its exact meaning is debated. It is often considered a musical or liturgical pause, inviting reflection on the preceding words. This pause allows the reader or listener to meditate on the significance of boasting in God and committing to eternal praise. In the context of worship, it serves as a moment to internalize the truths expressed, enhancing spiritual understanding and connection with God.

3. God (Yahweh)

Teaching Points
Boasting in God
True boasting should be centered on God and His works, not on personal achievements or abilities.

Reflect on how your life demonstrates a reliance on God rather than self.

Eternal Praise
Our praise for God should not be limited to specific times or places but should be a continual, lifelong practice.

Consider ways to incorporate praise into daily routines, making it a natural part of life.

Understanding 'Selah'
Take moments to pause and reflect on God's goodness and faithfulness in your life.

Use these pauses to deepen your relationship with God and to meditate on His Word.

Community Worship
Engage in corporate worship as a way to collectively boast in God and encourage one another in faith.

Recognize the importance of community in sustaining a life of praise.

Legacy of Praise
Think about how your life can leave a legacy of praise for future generations.

Share testimonies of God's faithfulness with others to inspire and encourage.Verse 8. - In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy Name for ever. We boast of God as our God, who saves us, and puts to shame our enemies (see ver. 7).
