Chasidut para sa Mga Awit 9:2

The following is the explanation of the verse in Psalms which states,²²¹Psalms 9:2 “I will give thanks to HaShem with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders.” We need to understand the simple meaning of this verse with precision. The first part of the verse which states, “I will give thanks to HaShem with all my heart,” makes sense. However, the second half, “I will tell of all Your wonders,” raises a difficulty. Is it not written,²²²Psalms 106:2 “Who can express the mighty acts of HaShem, who can make all His praise be heard?” If so, how could the psalmist state, “I will tell of all Your wonders?”

Through all the above, we may now understand the above verse,²³⁴Psalms 9:2 “I will give thanks to HaShem with all my heart.” This can be interpreted to mean that in addition to the obligation that is upon me to praise and laude HaShem, as a son before his father, I shall also give thanks to Him because “HaShem is in my whole heart.” That is, the love I have for HaShem is entrenched in my heart, which indicates that His love for me is also entrenched in His heart, so to speak. This is as stated,²³⁵Proverbs 27:19 “As waters reflect the face to the face, so is the heart of man to man.” It is for this very reason that I have been permitted “to tell of all Your wonders,” without measure.
