Psalm 33:1-7 “Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright. Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings. Sing to him a new song. Play skilfully with a shout of joy! For the LORD’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of the LORD. By the LORD’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.”

Why praise God? Because His Word is right. Because everything He does is faithful. He is righteous and just, and He loves the same. The entirety of creation is an example of His love and kindness. He made the heavens and the stars by His Word, and gathered the earth and the sea together beneath. We need to give thanks with our voices. We need to sing praises to His name. We need to play music to His glory. We need to rejoice!

Note: That He made everything by His Word means that He made everything out of nothing, or, as theologians say, God created ex nihilo.
