His praise shall continually be in my mouth. — Ps 34:1

Let not thy praises be transient a fit of music, and then the instrument hung by the wall till another gaudy day of some remarkable providence makes thee take it down. God comes not guestwise to His saints’ house, but to dwell with them. David took this up for a life work: “As long as I live, I will praise thee.” — Gurnall.
