Lips will utter praise and the psalmist will be taught God's statutes, expressing the fruit of petition: when God teaches, the response is inevitable praise. This verse anticipates that divine instruction will produce vocal response, that meditation on Scripture naturally overflows in utterance. The pairing of praise and learning suggests that they are inseparable: discovery of God's truth generates praise. The verse emphasizes the external expression of internal transformation: lips give voice to what the heart has apprehended. This verse illustrates the contemplative outcome: silent meditation ripens into vocal praise. The vocal utterance indicates that keeping faith is not merely private matter but participation in communal worship and witness.
