The Psalms themselves are a collection of songs and prayers used in ancient Israelite worship. Music was a central part of temple worship, as seen in <a href="/1_chronicles/15-16.htm">1 Chronicles 15:16</a>, where David appoints Levites to sing and play instruments. The act of praising God’s name signifies acknowledging His character and deeds, as His name represents His essence and attributes. This practice is seen throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/exodus/15.htm">Exodus 15:1-2</a>, where Moses and the Israelites sing a song of praise after crossing the Red Sea. The use of song in worship is a timeless expression of devotion and reverence, transcending cultural and historical boundaries.<p><b>and exalt Him with thanksgiving.</b><br>Exalting God with thanksgiving highlights the attitude of gratitude that believers are called to maintain. Thanksgiving is a recurring theme in the Psalms and throughout the Bible, as seen in passages like <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-18.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:18</a>, which instructs believers to give thanks in all circumstances. This phrase underscores the importance of recognizing God’s provision and blessings, fostering a heart of humility and dependence on Him. In the context of <a href="/psalms/69.htm">Psalm 69</a>, which is a lament, the call to thanksgiving amidst suffering reflects a deep trust in God’s sovereignty and goodness. This attitude is exemplified by Jesus Christ, who gave thanks even before His crucifixion (<a href="/luke/22-19.htm">Luke 22:19</a>). Thanksgiving is not only an expression of worship but also a means of drawing closer to God, acknowledging His lordship and faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/69.htm">Psalm 69</a>, David is expressing his deep distress and his reliance on God through praise and thanksgiving.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in the Psalm, God is the one whom David seeks to honor and magnify through his worship.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>While not directly mentioned in this verse, Jerusalem is often the backdrop for David's psalms, representing the center of worship and God's presence among His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_praise.htm">The Power of Praise</a></b><br>Praise is a powerful tool for believers, shifting focus from personal struggles to God's greatness.
