Every day will I bless thee ... - Compare Psalms 92:2; Psalms 55:17.

"Like Psalms 25 and Psalms 34, which are also Davidic, this psalm is an acrostic, and like them it is incomplete, the letter `nun' being omitted."[1] Addis noted that the Septuagint (LXX) supplies the missing line beginning with "nun."

The reasons follow."When one has come to the point of knowing the Lord in a personal way, the desire to sing His praise and sing it often becomes very strong."
