30 With my mouth I will greatly extol the Lord; in the great throng of worshipers I will praise him.
30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
30 With my mouth I will give great thanks to the Lord; I will praise him in the midst of the throng.
30 My mouth's full of great praise for God, I'm singing his hallelujahs surrounded by crowds,
30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude.
30 But I will give repeated thanks to the Lord, praising him to everyone.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 109:30
Commentary on Psalm 109:21-31
(Read Psalm 109:21-31)
The psalmist takes God's comforts to himself, but in a very humble manner. He was troubled in mind. His body was wasted, and almost worn away. But it is better to have leanness in the body, while the soul prospers and is in health, than to have leanness in the soul, while the body is feasted. He was ridiculed and reproached by his enemies. But if God bless us, we need not care who curses us; for how can they curse whom God has not cursed; nay, whom he has blessed? He pleads God's glory, and the honour of his name. Save me, not according to my merit, for I pretend to none, but according to thy-mercy. He concludes with the joy of faith, in assurance that his present conflicts would end in triumphs. Let all that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls to him. Jesus, unjustly put to death, and now risen again, is an Advocate and Intercessor for his people, ever ready to appear on their behalf against a corrupt world, and the great accuser.
