171. He will not always be pleading for himself; he will rise above all selfishness, and render thanks for the benefit received. He promises to praise God when he has obtained practical instruction in the life of godliness: this is something to praise for; no blessing is more precious. The best possible praise is that which proceeds from people who honor God, not only with their lips, but in their lives. We learn the music of heaven in the school of holy living. David would not only be grateful in silence, but he would express that gratitude in appropriate terms.
