Psalms63:3
1. Love's resolution. My lips shall praise thee.
(a) To praise. This is congenial to the renewed nature. It delights not in grumbling, reproaching, or scolding. Praise expresses appreciation, gratitude, happiness, affection.
(b) To praise God.
(c) To praise God practically. My lips. By speaking well to him; by speaking well of him; of his wisdom, justice, love, grace, etc.
(d) To praise God continually. As long as I live, etc.
2. Love's reason. Because thy lovingkindness. Love must praise God because —
(a) It owes its existence to him. "We love him because he first loved us."
(b) Because it is fostered by him. "The love of God is shed abroad, "etc.
(c) Because the expressions of his love demand praise. "Kindness" to needy, helpless, lost. Lovingkindness, not wounding our natures. Better than life; either the principle, pleasures, or pursuits of life. G. J. K.
