Praise the LORD with Music and Dancing

Let us remember to praise the LORD, our Creator! Something to consider that goes against what many accept today… praise him with singing and dancing… with joyful noise and enthusiasm. We do not need to constrain ourselves to standing still and arms up to praise him, though that is ok also. Think about the level of enthusiasm it implies to be singing and dancing and playing music while we praise him. Surely we should be more excited about YHWH than when our favorite sports team plays a game!

Psalm 149

Israel Invoked to Praise the LORD.

     1Praise the LORD!
Sing to the LORD a new song,
And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.

      2Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.

      3Let them praise His name with dancing;
Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre.

      4For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation.

      5Let the godly ones exult in glory;
Let them sing for joy on their beds.

      6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,

      7To execute vengeance on the nations
And punishment on the peoples,

      8To bind their kings with chains
And their nobles with fetters of iron,

      9To execute on them the judgment written;
This is an honor for all His godly ones.
Praise the LORD!
