What does Psalm 108:1 mean?

This verse is nearly the exact same words as Psalm 57:7. Here, the phrase "with all my being" is added. Originally, this was part of David's resolution to faithfully praise God despite intense personal danger. This includes a declaration that everything David has is aligned in praise towards the Lord.

David claims to be prepared, stable, and firm using the Hebrew word nākon'. He has no intention of letting his faith fail. Danger will not threaten his trust in God, because David's faith is prepared for hardship. Those who trust the Lord experience reassurance (Isaiah 64:4; John 15:11) and gratitude, and they respond with praise. Shame and negative consequences (Isaiah 65:11–15) come for those who ignore His will.
