First, 'make music proclaiming your love' (1-8). This is a song written for Sabbath worship. True rest is found in praising the Lord. The content of our music is proclaiming His love and faithfulness, day and night. His deeds make us glad; we sing for joy over his great works and profound thoughts. Senseless and wicked people do not endure, but the Lord is forever exalted. It is good to praise the Lord! Second, 'the righteous will flourish' (9-15). While enemies perish and are scattered, those who worship the Lord are exalted. The righteous flourish, planted in the house of the Lord. Even in old age, we stay fresh and green, proclaiming, 'The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.' To worship him this way every week keeps the righteous young and vibrant, joyful and glad. Let us worship him with song and proclaim his love and faithfulness all our lives!
Application: Father, thank you for giving us music, to sing your praise. Let me rejoice in all your deeds.
One Word: I sing for joy at what you have done
