While I live I will sing

"While I live, I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being." - Psalm 146:2

Here is the duration of David's singing: he will sing praises to the Lord as long as he lives. He does not say that he will sing as long as he is happy, as long as he is healthy, or as long as he has no problems, but as long as he lives. If he can breathe, he can sing.

While he lives, he sees the treasures of God's Word; therefore, he has a theme for singing. While he lives, he tastes God's mercy; therefore, he has a theme for song. While he lives, he witnesses God's works and miracles; therefore, admiration and reverence drive him to sing. While he lives, he meditaties on His love, therefore He praises God’s love with a song.

I also have many themes for songs, countless reasons to sing, so I will sing as long as I live.
