But I will proclaim forever
The psalmist begins with a declaration of eternal praise. The Hebrew root for "proclaim" is "nagad," which means to announce or make known. This word choice emphasizes the psalmist's commitment to continually declare God's deeds. Historically, proclamations were made publicly, often in the temple or during festivals, signifying a communal acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. The use of "forever" underscores the timeless nature of God's worthiness to be praised, transcending generations and circumstances.

I will sing praise
The act of singing is a powerful form of worship, deeply rooted in Jewish tradition. The Hebrew word "zamar" is used here, which means to make music or sing praises. This reflects a joyful and heartfelt response to God's goodness. Singing was an integral part of worship in the temple, and it remains a vital expression of faith in Christian communities today. It signifies not just verbal acknowledgment but an emotional and spiritual engagement with God.

to the God of Jacob
Referring to "the God of Jacob" connects the psalmist's praise to the covenantal relationship God established with the patriarchs. Jacob, later named Israel, represents the chosen lineage through which God's promises were fulfilled. This phrase reminds the reader of God's faithfulness throughout history, from the time of the patriarchs to the present. It also highlights the personal nature of God, who is not a distant deity but one who has been intimately involved with His people. This connection to Jacob serves as a reminder of God's enduring promises and His unchanging nature.

Verse 9. - But I will declare forever; i.e. "I will declare these things" - viz. God's just judgments upon the wicked. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. On the force of the phrase, "God of Jacob," see the comment upon Psalm 20:1.
