It may seem strange to think that we could bless God. Many of us pray for God’s blessing…we even use phrases like, “God bless you,” because it is easy to understand how God blesses us. But here, David is telling himself to bless God. The Hebrew word used here, bara-kah, describes bestowing someone with special power or declaring God to be special power. David is praising God for who He is. He declares through worship the glory of God.
