Psalm 109:30a "I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth..."

Day 229 – Psalm 109

“I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth…” Psalm 109:30a

A FITTING CONCLUSION

David ended this imprecatory psalm on a note of praise. This conclusion further verifies the fact that this prayer was not offered with a vindictive spirit.

“I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth;
Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude.
For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor,
To save him from those who condemn him.”
Psalm 109:30-31
