A rousing and enthusiastic chorus and music to sing to our God. Praising His name. Rejoicing in who He is. He deserves all glory and singing this chorus shouts that out!
We are to rejoice when we praise the Lord. We should be
filled with joy and delight, flowing from our very being, praising God with
open hearts.
Godsbless.ing: “The verse includes the phrase, ‘my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices.’ Here, ‘heart’ signifies the innermost being, the core of one’s emotions and will. David, and Peter by extension, expresses a profound joy that stems from a deep, spiritual assurance. This isn’t mere happiness but a profound gladness rooted in the knowledge of God’s promises. The “tongue rejoices” indicates that this joy is so overwhelming it must be expressed verbally, symbolizing the outward manifestation of inner peace and contentment.”
I think we rejoice best when we are singing and proclaiming our
heartfelt joy of the Lord. We can certainly praise His name and rejoice in Him
through daily conversation and in devotion times, but there is just something about singing His
praises that seems to express so much more. Whether with a group or by
yourself, singing His praises fills you with delight.
Enduringword.com: “David called upon his soul to bless Yahweh. It was as if David looked at his soul and understood that it was not praising God enough. He called upon his soul to do more . . . David understood that true worship was something deeply inward, of the soul. It is not just about outward forms or expressions, but also about something real from the soul.”
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice! May your voice be lifted in praise and your spirit filled with rejoicing for our Lord!
"To give glory to God should be the greatest desire of every Christian. Not only should this be the supreme goal for our individual lives, but it should also be true whenever we gather in our local churches." Kenneth W. Osbeck, Amazing Grace
