What does Psalm 56:12 mean?

David looked forward to offering praise and appreciation to the Lord. This anticipation was based on trust: fully believing God would protect David from his enemies (Psalm 56:1; 1 Samuel 21:10–15) and restore him to Jerusalem. There, he could worship again and give all credit to the Lord.

Thanksgiving offerings are described in Leviticus 7:11–18. A portion of the worshiper's thanksgiving offering became a meal for him and his family. Gratitude should be an essential part of the believer's worship today. In Philippians 4:6 believers are admonished to overcome anxiety by praying and pleading in everything. The thought is to put the weight of our concerns fully on the Lord, yet the verse instructs believers to do this with thanksgiving. The believer who carefully recalls God's goodness to him in the past realizes that he has nothing to worry about. God who took care of him in the past will take care of him today and tomorrow (Hebrews 13:5–6). Remembering God's goodness with thanksgiving is a reliable way to enjoy His peace (Philippians 4:7).
