"And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long."
Psalms 35:28
This section in Psalms is a prayer from David to God asking for, largely, God to not allow David's enemies to triumph. This is a verse at the end of the prayer which in some ways seems like an offering in return for his request, but I think perhaps is better interpreted as a covenant. David is asking God to do what he has done before, which is preserve his life and kingdom, and David is promising what he has promised before: to always remember God, and to be thankful.
We are likely to need God's help in our lives from time to time, and so perhaps we can learn from David's example. Today, let's remember to go to the Lord with our problems and our trials, and to be open and honest with him about our feelings and our needs. As we do, God will certainly help us. As he does, let's also remember that we have made covenants with God just as David did. We need to thank and praise him as well, and remember him always, making sure to put him first in our lives.
