The psalmist, traditionally understood to be David, expresses a wholehearted devotion to God. The use of "all my heart" signifies complete sincerity and dedication, aligning with the Shema in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-5.htm">Deuteronomy 6:5</a>, which commands love for God with all one's heart, soul, and strength. This phrase emphasizes the importance of internal devotion over mere external ritual. In the cultural context of ancient Israel, the heart was seen as the center of will and emotion, indicating that true worship involves the entire being. The personal address "O Lord my God" highlights a covenant relationship, reminiscent of God's promises to the patriarchs and the personal nature of faith.<p><b>I will glorify Your name forever.</b><br>Glorifying God's name involves acknowledging His character and deeds. In biblical times, a name represented one's identity and reputation. Thus, to glorify God's name is to honor His holiness, power, and faithfulness. The commitment to do so "forever" suggests an eternal perspective, pointing to the everlasting nature of God's kingdom and the believer's hope in eternal life. This eternal praise is echoed in <a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9-12</a>, where a multitude worships God eternally. The phrase also foreshadows the ultimate glorification of God through Jesus Christ, whose name is above every name (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>). The psalmist's vow to glorify God forever reflects a life dedicated to worship, both now and in the age to come.<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/86.htm">Psalm 86</a>, David is a central figure in the Old Testament, known for his deep relationship with God, his psalms, and his role as the second king of Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The central focus of David's praise in this verse, Yahweh is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/h/heart.htm">Heart</a></b><br>In Hebrew thought, the heart ("lev") represents the center of one's being, including mind, will, and emotions.
