Study note
Setting — The text identifies David as the author and states he will sing of the LORD’s loving devotion and justice directly to Him.
The words — The Hebrew terms חֶסֶד (chesed) and מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat) denote covenant loyalty and justice, while אָשִׁירָה (ashirah) and אֲזַמְּרָה (zamirah) both express the act of singing or singing praises.
The thread — The psalmist’s vow to sing of God’s loyalty and justice echoes similar declarations in Psalms 89:1, 71:22, and 145:7.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to commit vocal praise to God for His loyalty and justice before considering personal integrity.
