Today, I am reading and commenting on Psalms 90-97.
There are a couple of different themes in today’s psalms, but I want to focus on the call to sing and make music in order to praise God. In Psalm 92, the psalmist writes:
“It is good to praise the Lord
and make music to your name, O Most High,…”
He goes on to say that God makes us glad by His deeds: God punishes the wicked, but the righteous flourish in His presence. The wicked think that the One who made the eye and the ear cannot see their wicked acts and cannot hear as they plot evil, but God will give them just recompense for the evil they have done. He will undermine their plots. The psalmist goes on to write in Psalm 95:
“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.”
He made the sea and formed the dry land. Let us listen to His voice and sing His praises. So,
“Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.”
For the Lord is great and worthy to be praised. His splendor and majesty, His strength and glory put all other gods to shame. The Lord reigns and He judges all people with equity. Everyone should rejoice in the Lord:
“Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous,
and praise his holy name.”
