I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
This psalm draws its materials from the fifty-seventh and sixtieth psalms, so I need not repeat what I have already expounded on those passages. The composer has taken portions from each and woven them here together.

Commenting on Psalm 108:1-13
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people. Whoever may come to hear me, devout or profane, believer or heathen, civilized or barbarian, I shall not cease my music. David seemed inspired to foresee that his Psalms would be sung in every land, from Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral strand.
Your heart must be fixed on God before your praise means anything; wandering thoughts must be gathered in and held close to the work. Whatever gift you excel in must be consecrated to His praise, and let it be done with warmth and life, not dull carefulness.
