Psalm 118

"O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever."

It appears here, as often as elsewhere, that David had his heart full of the goodness of God. He loved to think of it, loved to speak of it, and was very solicitous that God might have the praise of it and others the comfort of it. The more our hearts are impressed with a sense of God's goodness the more they will be enlarged in all manner of obedience. (Matthew Henry)
