Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

~ Psalm 150:4

“And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.”
— Psalm 27:6 KJV

Music in the Making

Now praise is active and verbal. It must be seen or heard for it to be praise. Psalms 9:1 says, “I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvelous works."

We are to praise God in the sanctuary (Psalms 134:2) and among the heathen (Psalms 18:49).

We praise him in the sanctuary among the saints as a form of corporate praise.

We praise him among the heathen as a witness, a testimony of his goodness.

If our praise is not verbal or active, how are others to know that he is great? How will the sinner know that he is a good and compassionate God if our praise of him is not audible or visible, if he is not declared? Praise is what we do!
