Quick answer
David commits to daily and unending praise of God. Worship is not occasional but a lifelong, persevering habit.
Overview
The repetition of 'every day' and 'forever and ever' underscores that praise should mark both the rhythm of each day and the whole span of one's existence. This continual blessing of God's name flows from a heart captivated by His worth. It anticipates the unceasing praise of the redeemed before the throne (Revelation 7:9-12).
