Psalm 30:12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever.
God has turned glory into dancing and clothed David with gladness, with the purpose that his soul would sing praise and give thanks. Praise and thanksgiving are constant features of the believer’s daily life, since the Lord has made us glad all our days through the Gospel. And He always hears and answers our prayers. Therefore, we are always singing praise and giving thanks.
God is so good and kind all the time that we cannot help but respond with thanks and praise. Our life becomes one of gladness and thanksgiving. The added thought expressed here is that, not only all our days on earth, but also forever will we be thanking God. Think about it. Not a day will pass in eternity without us singing praises to God for His goodness and thanking Him for His mercies. What a joyful way to live eternally. We will never have enough time in eternity to properly thank God for His goodness and grace, His kindness and mercy, in giving us His Son. I cannot be silent; thank God!
