"Praise
the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song.
Sing His praises in the assembly of the faithful…
Praise Him for His mighty works;
Praise Him for His unequaled greatness!...
Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
Praise Him with a clash of cymbals;
Praise Him with loud clanging cymbals.
Let everything that lives sing praises to the Lord!
Praise the Lord!" (Excerpts from Psalm 149-150, NLT)

"Praise
should be proportionate to its object," counsels Charles Spurgeon;
"therefore let it be infinite when rendered unto the Lord. We cannot
praise Him too much, too often, too zealously, too carefully, too
joyfully." The Psalms do teach us to praise God much, often, zealously,
and joyfully. When our praise seems so inadequate, how encouraging to turn to
the Psalms and find the freedom and joy of these hymns to God. It is exciting
to begin to exalt God by awakening the dawn with… songs of praises to His Holy
Name!
