Wednesday, October 23 – Musical Praise

Then on that day David first appointed the singing of praises to the LORD by Asaph and his kindred.

O give thanks to the LORD, call on his name,

         make known his deeds among the peoples.

Sing to him, sing praises to him,

         tell of all his wonderful works. ...

Sing to the LORD, all the earth.

         Tell of his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the nations,

         his marvelous works among all the peoples.

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;

         he is to be revered above all gods. ...

Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;

         let the field exult, and everything in it.

Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD,

         for he comes to judge the earth.

O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

         for his steadfast love endures forever.

                                    –1 Chronicles 16:7-9, 23-25, 32-34 (NRSV) 

      Praise the LORD!

Praise God in his sanctuary;

      praise him in his mighty firmament!

Praise him for his mighty deeds;

      praise him according to his surpassing greatness!

Praise him with trumpet sound;

      praise him with lute and harp!

Praise him with tambourine and dance;

      praise him with strings and pipe!

Praise him with clanging cymbals;

      praise him with loud clashing cymbals!

Let everything that breathes praise the LORD!

            Praise the LORD!       –Psalm 150:1-6 (NRSV)
 

Everything gets into the praise of God...Enjoy!
