In Psalms one hundred five the Psalmist said, “O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people”, and in chapter one hundred five and verse two of Psalms the Psalmist said, “Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him” where we read,
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk you of all his wondrous works.
The verse begins, “Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:” The Psalmist began with the words, “sing unto him” or “make music with your voice toward him, Jehovah God”, “sing psalms unto him” which means “make music with your voice with musical instruments, pipes and poetry toward him, Jehovah God”. The Psalmist exhorted his readers and listeners to make poetic music with their voices and instruments toward Jehovah God.
The verse goes on to say, “talk you of all his wondrous works.” The Psalmist continued with the words, “talk you” or “all who are listening and reading these words speak forth, muse, commune and put forth thoughts” “of all his wondrous works” which means “about each, every, the whole and everyone of his, Jehovah God's, marvelous, surpassing, extraordinary and wonderful acts, labors and deeds”. The Psalmist instructed his readers and listeners to speak about each and every one of Jehovah God's wonderful and extraordinary acts and deeds.
When we meditate upon the words in this verse, we see how the Psalmist wanted his readers and listeners to make musical worship with their voices and instruments to Jehovah God. They were to tell others about God's wonderful and extraordinary acts and deeds to give them an idea of how marvelous God is. God wants us to be in a personal relationship with Him, and He made that possible by sending His Son Jesus into the world to die on the cross for the sins of all mankind. When we believe and trust in Jesus as our “Savior and Lord”, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and allow us to bless ourselves by blessing Him with praise, honor and glory that He is due for who He is and the marvelous works He does.
Next time the Psalmist says, “Glory you in his holy name”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until tomorrow…there is more…
