Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
God chose one people freely from all nations and bound Himself to them by covenant. He did not merely speak His promises to Abraham and his seed; He proved them true across centuries with unnumbered mercies, so that those delivered from Egypt would keep faith with Him and serve Him faithfully.

Sing unto him. Bring your best thoughts and express them in the best language to the sweetest sounds. Take care that your singing is "unto him, "and not merely for the sake of the music or to delight the ears of others. Singing is so delightful an exercise that it is a pity so much or it should be wasted upon trifles or worse than trifles.
We must give thanks to Him as our bountiful benefactor, call upon His name for further mercies, and make known His deeds so others join us in praising Him. God's wondrous works ought to be the subject of our familiar discourse with our families and friends, not merely for entertainment, but for exciting devotion and encouraging faith and hope in God.
