I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
The verse is the confession of the one who has chosen God as his guide. It stands in direct contrast to the one who stands in selfish independence, trusting in himself and in the abundance of his riches. Like a green olive tree in the house of God, the speaker trusts in the mercy of God forever and ever, continually and without end. He commits to praise God forever because of what God has accomplished, and to wait on God's name because that name is good before God's saints, in the presence of God's faithful people.
