These words are repeated four times in this verse, to show how vehemently desirous the psalmist was that God might have his due praise and glory; and of how great necessity and importance it was to men to perform this great, though much neglected, duty.

Sing praises to God, sing praises] Do it with all alacrity, assiduity, being of that martyr’ s mind who said, Should I do nothing else all the days of my life, yea, as long as the days of heaven shall last, but kneel upon my knees, and repeat over David’ s psalms to the glory and praise of God, yet should I fall infinitely short of what is my duty to do.
