What Does Psalms 35:28 Mean?
The psalmist's final vow is not to remain silent about his vindication but to speak continually of God's righteousness. His tongue—his speech, testimony, words—will be devoted to declaring what God has done. 'All the day long' emphasizes constancy and wholehearted devotion.
This closing echoes verse 18's promise of public praise but adds 'righteousness.' The psalmist will testify both to God's justice (His defense of the innocent) and His praise-worthiness. His entire life becomes a witness to God's character.
