Forever is a LONG TIME. However, everything God does has eternal consequences because He is eternal. We don’t think that way. We think beginning and process and end. The Psalmist, in his limited understanding, referred to an agreement between God and man that would last forever, and hence, would imply that God is therefore worthy of an eternal commitment of praise. In a sense, our present praises are recorded and will echo through the heavens forever.

For the worshiper, this is added incentive to ramp up the volume and intensity of praise. Do sound waves ever completely decay?

If an audio of the sum total of all our words here on earth is replayed at our judgement, wouldn’t it be great if much of it is praise?
