I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!
"After announcing his intention to bless the Lord at all times, the singer invites all the humble to join him in song. Behind this lies the idea that the ideal praise to God is his assembled people joining their voices in thanking Him. The idea behind 'bless' is to speak a good word about someone: when God blesses someone, He speaks a good word over that person for his well-being; when a human blesses God, he speaks a good word about God's kindness and generosity."
The lord is near to the broken hearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.
