Quick answer

David draws near to give thanks aloud and to tell of all God's wondrous deeds. Worship overflows in thanksgiving and proclamation.

Overview

At the altar David proclaims thanksgiving and recounts God's marvelous works. True worship is not silent but voices gratitude and declares God's mighty acts. This anticipates the praise of the redeemed who, cleansed by Christ, tell of the greatest of God's wondrous deeds, the salvation accomplished in the gospel.

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.
