Psalms 115:18

The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 115:18

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

But we will bless the Lord; literally, we will bless Jah—the shortened, and perhaps more emphatic, form of Jehovah. We, so long as we have any being, will sing praises unto our God ()—we will bless him, praise him, give thanks to him, from this time forth, and for evermore—not an absolute assertion of immortality, but a strong instinctive anticipation of it. Praise the Lord.
