Humble

"Hallelujah! Sing to Jehovah," Psalm 149:1.

Who shall sing? The congregation. What congregation? The assembly of all godly people. The holy ones. The loyal ones. All the children of Zion. (All the children made holy by the Lamb, yes!) And what shall they sing? A new song. What song? Song of joy to their Maker. Their King! They praise Him with dancing. With tambourine. With lyre. They burst into song! And why shall they sing so? Because Jehovah's pleasure rests in them. Whose pleasure? God's. God's happy with. Who's God happy with? His people. What people? Humble people. (They confessed Christ as Lord.) What shows His joy? He decorates them. With what? with salvation's jewelry! As He saves them, He also executes His sharp justice (!). As His Word has written.

Today we sing praise with a brother or sister to our God. (Well, if we don't actually sing sing, we voice a praise psalm together, right?) And, together, we give thanks to our God in the joy of our salvation.
