Psalm 66:1-7 “For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise! Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you. All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah. Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him. He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.”

Why should we sing and praise God? We remember the awesome deeds that He has done in our own lives, as well as the deeds that He has done historically for His people. He dried up the water so that the Israelites could escape from the Egyptians, and the Egyptians had no choice but to give up and submit themselves to His will! He is sovereign, mighty, and will rule forever. Anyone (or nation) is silly to try to go against Him!
