Psalm 118:29 NKJV

Psalm 118:29 NKJV 

King David begins this Psalm with (v.1) and ends with the same praise for the goodness and love of the Most High God.   In this verse he concludes with his own thankfulness acknowledging the divine grace, in which he calls upon others to join in with him to give God praise.  As a result of the covenant-relation he has with Him, he says, in his heart he will praise God himself, and exalt him and encourages others to do the same.  He had come to the conclusion that "Thou art my God, on whom he could depend on and he was devoted to."
 

King David calls upon all about and around him to give to God the glory of his goodness.  He encourages himself and others to trust in God, from the many experiences he had had of God's faithfulness,  power, and divine interventions in the great and kind things he had done for him.
 

King David gives thanks for his advancement to the throne, as it was a figure of the exaltation of Christ, and for glad tidings of great joy to all people, that there is a Redeemer, even Christ our Lord.  In him it is that God is good to man and that his mercy endures for ever; in him the covenant of grace is made; and in him is it made sure, made good, and made an everlasting covenant.  Thus, the beginning and the ending of Psalm 118:1, 29 for God's glory must be the Alpha and Omega, and it must be the beginning and the ending.  Henceforth, we must glorify God for his goodness, his goodness to us, and especially his goodness to us given in and by Jesus Christ.
