Psalms 56:10 Summary
[This verse is about David's decision to trust and praise God, no matter what. He's saying that he will always praise God's word, which means he will trust and obey God's teachings. This is similar to what Jesus said in John 4:24, that we should worship God in spirit and truth. By praising God's word, David is showing that he values God's promises and guidance above everything else, and we can do the same by reading and applying God's word in our lives, as encouraged in Psalm 1:2, which says, 'His delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.']
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to praise God's word?
Praising God's word means to honor and worship Him for His promises and teachings, as seen in Psalms 119:164, where it says, 'Seven times a day I praise You, because of Your righteous judgments.'
Why is the word 'LORD' capitalized in this verse?
The word 'LORD' is capitalized to signify that it is a translation of the Hebrew name 'Yahweh', which is a personal name for God, as explained in Exodus 3:15 and Psalm 83:18.
How can I apply this verse to my life?
You can apply this verse by making a conscious effort to trust and praise God, even in difficult circumstances, just like David did, as seen in Psalms 34:1, which says, 'I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.'
What is the significance of repeating 'whose word I praise' in this verse?
The repetition of 'whose word I praise' emphasizes David's commitment to trusting and worshiping God, highlighting the importance of God's word in his life, as also seen in Psalms 119:11, where it says, 'Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You.'
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can praise God's word in my daily life?
- How does my trust in God's word affect my relationships with others?
- What are some promises from God's word that I can cling to in times of uncertainty?
- In what ways can I demonstrate my commitment to God's word, like David did in this verse?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 56:10
What I have already engaged to do, , that I do again and again promise to do, and I cannot sufficiently praise thy goodness in making promises, and thy faithfulness in keeping them.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 56:10
Psalms 56:10 In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.Ver. 10. In God will I praise his word] The Jewish doctors observe that Elohim, God, is a name importing justice; and that Jehovah, Lord, holdeth out mercy, according to that, Exodus 34:6, Jehovah, Jehovah merciful, gracious, &c. But if God should seem neither to show his mercy upon us nor his justice upon our enemies, we must nevertheless adhere to his word or promise, and patiently wait his performance; which will be as sure as he is God and Lord.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 56:10
Verse 10. - 11. See on Psalms 56:4, where the same words occur.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 56:10
10. his word] The omission of the pronoun, which is found in Psalms 56:4, is difficult. If the text is sound, word must be used absolutely for the divine word of promise. Cp. Proverbs 13:13; Proverbs 16:20. In the Lord will I praise his word] The line is repeated for emphasis with the substitution of the covenant name Jehovah for God. The two names sometimes occur together in the Elohistic Psalms (e. g. Psalms 55:16; Psalms 58:6); and a refrain is not always repeated in precisely the same form. But the repetition may simply be a ‘conflate reading,’ the second line being either the survival or the restoration of the original text, while the first line is due to the ‘Elohistic’ editor.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 56:10
In God will I praise his word - Luther renders this, “I will praise the word of God.” The phrase “in God” means probably “in respect to God;” or, “in what pertains to God.” That which he would
