Psalms 71:8 Summary
[The psalmist is saying that he can't stop talking about how great God is, and that he wants to praise Him all day long, as seen in Psalms 71:8. This is similar to what David says in Psalms 34:1, where he says he will bless the Lord at all times. We can learn from the psalmist's example and make praising God a part of our daily lives, even in the midst of challenges and pressures. By focusing on God's character and works, and by cultivating a heart of gratitude and worship, we can overflow with praise for Him, just like the psalmist does in Psalms 71:8.]

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 71:8
For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. -The prayer in Psalms 71:4 is followed, first, by the basis on which it rests (Psalms 71:5-8); then by an expanded form of it (Psalms 71:9-13). Verse 5.

Cambridge Bible on Psalms 71:8
8. My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honour all the day (R.V.). Cp. 1 Chronicles 29:11 “Thine, O Jehovah, is the greatness, and the might, and the honour, and the victory, and the majesty.” The P.B.V. that I may sing of thy glory and honour all the day long comes from the LXX through the Vulg.

Let my mouth be filled - This is an appeal to himself, in view of the goodness of God, to praise him always. See the notes at Psalms 35:28. With thy praise - With the expressions of praise.

8. Let my mouth be filled with thy praise—My mouth shall be filled, etc. The review of his wonderful history (Psalms 71:5-7) inspires this purpose.
