David gives reasons that support his declaration that God is worthy of praise, and that all mankind would perform their vows to God. Note: 5 ff contains a number of descriptions of God -- "you who" statements. This Psalm, unlike many others, contains no context - either in the text of the Psalm or in the title. It doesn't say what David is experiencing or when this is written. I almost get the impression that it is harvest time and David is in some high place in Jerusalem from where he can look out over the fields. There has been abundant rain and the crops are abundant. And David is just full of praise for the way God has taken care of his people. It could be that David, at such a time of recognized blessing, also recognizes his unworthiness. He knows he and the people of God have sinned. But God has atoned for their sins -- he has covered them.
