The act of praising God with one's mouth is a recurring theme in the Psalms, highlighting the importance of verbal expression in worship. In biblical times, oral tradition was a primary means of communication, and spoken praise was a powerful way to declare God's greatness. This phrase also reflects a heart overflowing with gratitude and reverence, reminiscent of <a href="/psalms/34.htm">Psalm 34:1</a>, "I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips." The psalmist's dedication to praise is a model for believers, encouraging them to focus on God's attributes and deeds.<p><b>and with Your splendor</b><br>The term "splendor" refers to the majesty and glory of God, which is evident in His creation and His works. This reflects the biblical understanding of God's transcendence and immanence, where His divine nature is both beyond human comprehension and yet intimately involved in the world. The splendor of God is a theme found throughout Scripture, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/104.htm">Psalm 104:1</a>, "O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty." This acknowledgment of God's splendor invites believers to meditate on His beauty and power, fostering a deeper sense of awe and worship.<p><b>all day long</b><br>The phrase "all day long" signifies the psalmist's continuous devotion and acknowledgment of God throughout the day. This reflects the biblical principle of constant communion with God, as seen in <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-17.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:17</a>, "pray without ceasing." The idea of ongoing praise and awareness of God's presence is central to a life of faith, encouraging believers to integrate worship into every aspect of their daily lives. This continuous praise is not limited to specific times or places but is a lifestyle of worship, reflecting a heart fully devoted to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/psalmist.htm">Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/71.htm">Psalm 71</a>, traditionally attributed to David, who is expressing his trust and reliance on God throughout his life.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure of the Psalm, who is praised for His splendor and faithfulness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation to which the Psalmist belongs, often the context for the communal and individual expressions of faith found in the Psalms.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/a/a_life_of_praise.htm">A Life of Praise</a></b><br>The Psalmist's commitment to filling his mouth with God's praise all day long challenges us to cultivate a lifestyle where worship is central, not just reserved for specific times or places.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/recognizing_god's_splendor.htm">Recognizing God's Splendor</a></b><br>The Hebrew word for "splendor" (tiferet) implies beauty and glory.
