I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever
I will praise You
The Hebrew word for "praise" here is "יָדָה" (yadah), which conveys a sense of giving thanks or confessing. This act of praise is not merely a ritualistic duty but a heartfelt expression of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and goodness. In the context of ancient Israel, praise was often accompanied by music and song, reflecting a communal and personal devotion to God. The psalmist's declaration to praise God underscores a commitment to worship that is both personal and profound.

O Lord my God
The use of "Lord" (Yahweh) and "my God" (Elohim) together emphasizes a personal relationship with the divine. "Yahweh" is the covenant name of God, signifying His eternal presence and faithfulness to His people. "Elohim" denotes power and might, often used to describe God's creative and governing authority. This dual reference highlights the psalmist's recognition of God's intimate involvement in his life and His overarching power over all creation.

with all my heart
The phrase "with all my heart" indicates total devotion and sincerity. In Hebrew thought, the heart (לֵב, lev) is the center of one's being, encompassing mind, will, and emotions. To praise God with all one's heart is to engage in worship that is undivided and genuine, reflecting a life wholly surrendered to God. This wholehearted devotion is a recurring theme in the Psalms, calling believers to love and serve God with every aspect of their being.

I will glorify Your name
To "glorify" (כָּבֵד, kaved) means to honor or give weight to something. In biblical terms, God's "name" represents His character and reputation. The psalmist's commitment to glorify God's name is a pledge to live in a way that reflects God's holiness and majesty. This act of glorification is not limited to verbal praise but extends to a lifestyle that honors God in all things, demonstrating His worthiness to the world.

forever
The term "forever" (עוֹלָם, olam) signifies an unending duration. The psalmist's vow to glorify God's name forever speaks to the eternal nature of worship and the believer's hope in everlasting life with God. This eternal perspective is rooted in the understanding that God's kingdom and His faithfulness endure beyond the temporal confines of human existence. It is a reminder of the believer's ultimate destiny and the perpetual praise that will characterize the life to come.

(12, 13) Comp. Psalm 56:13; Psalm 57:9-10.

Verse 12. - I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart; i.e. "with an undivided heart." And I will glorify thy Name (see ver. 9) forevermore. A belief in immortality is implied, if not formally asserted.
