“So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.”
The psalm concludes with a vow: "Then we your people, the flock of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise." The supplicants commit to perpetual thanksgiving and proclamation of God's praise if God responds to their prayer. The image of people as a flock emphasizes their dependence on God's shepherding care; their purpose is to give glory to God.
