David is acknowledging God is good with praises of His goodness. He desires those same qualities in his own life. As God was good to him, he in turn might demonstrate goodness to others. David believes, and rightly so , that instruction for such a life will only be found in scripture, hence he says, teach me Your statutes. When one seriously considers God 's goodness, they could spend a long, long time trying to exhaust the matter. As I read this verse my mind went to Psalms 17:15 David writes, " as for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake with thy likeness. " His thinking was correct. On this side of the grave we can only strive to move into His likeness, but one day we will be changed, separated from sin, and become like Him.
