Psalm 43:4
Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

Psalm 71:23
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

Psalm 118:14,15
The LORDis my strength and song, and is become my salvation…

with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
The response to this soul satisfaction is one of praise, highlighting the natural outpouring of gratitude and worship that follows experiencing God's goodness. Joyful lips signify an expression of inner joy and contentment, which is a recurring theme in the Psalms (Psalm 71:23). This phrase underscores the importance of verbal praise as an integral part of worship, reflecting a heart that is aligned with God's will. The act of praising God with one's mouth is not only a personal declaration of faith but also serves as a testimony to others, as seen inPsalm 34:1. This expression of joy and praise is a foretaste of the eternal worship described inRevelation 5:13, where every creature praises God.

- David speaks of an inner reality, not a hope or wish. In the wilderness (Psalm 63 superscription) he experiences spiritual fullness that no circumstance can drain.

-Psalm 107:9 affirms, “For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things,” showing that God Himself meets the deepest needs of the human spirit.

- Jesus echoes the same truth inJohn 6:35: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger.” The soul finds complete sufficiency in the Living God.

- This satisfaction is immediate (“is satisfied”) and ongoing, a present-tense confidence rooted in God’s unchanging character (Psalm 16:11).

- David borrows the image of a lavish banquet to make the point tangible. Think of the richest feast you’ve enjoyed—that is the measure of his inward contentment.

-Isaiah 55:2 uses the same picture: “Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of foods.” God invites us to a table that never runs out.

- Bullet-point reminders:

• God’s provision is abundant, not meager.

• Spiritual nourishment surpasses physical pleasure.

• The feast is free to the seeker, yet priceless in worth (Matthew 5:6).

- Satisfaction naturally turns into celebration; joy is the overflow of a filled heart.

-Psalm 71:23 declares, “My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to You—along with my soul, which You have redeemed.”

- Notice the sequence:

1. God fills the soul.

2. Joy springs up.

3. The mouth can’t stay silent.

- This joy is not forced but spontaneous, a fruit of genuine communion with the Lord (Psalm 40:3).

- Praise is the believer’s fitting response to divine satisfaction. When God fills us, gratitude flows outward.

-Hebrews 13:15 calls us to “continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.”

-Psalm 19:14 reminds us that the words of our mouths should please Him, echoing David’s resolve here.

- Key takeaways:

• Praise is verbal—spoken, sung, shared.

• Praise is deliberate—“will praise” signals choice and commitment.

• Praise is God-ward—He is both source and object of our delight.

Psalm 63:5 paints a vivid picture of a soul feasting on God’s presence. David testifies that the Lord fully satisfies him, like the finest banquet could satisfy the body. This inner fullness explodes into joyful, verbal praise. When God is our portion, gratitude becomes our language, and worship becomes our lifestyle.
