The second commandment lays out a principle that explains how God will treat those who hate him and those who worship him. David notes the fruit of being one who loves God; "a thoudand generations" will be blessed because of David's love in worshiping God. But David also acknowlegded that everything he had accomplished happened through God's provision. (2 Samuel 7:21). David voiced his faith in God and gave him great glory as he worshipped before the LORD. All of this praise and worship came from David's lips after he had been denied his request to build and establish a temple for the name of the LORD. That is another picture of the heart of a man of God; praising even when God says "No."
It took me 15 minutes to read this passage.
