O SING unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth. Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering and come into his courts. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

 

This is a psalm of praise. It starts out with singing and giving praise to the Lord. And there is nothing wrong with that. But also, the writing has some various points to be considered. It stated that all the other gods are idols. Very accurate. Anything that takes the place of the Lord is an idol. People now days can get caught up with a new type of “idol worship". We must be careful not to get caught in this sin. Do not let anything take the place of the Lord in your life.

We are told to give praise, strength and glory to the Lord. And even the non-believers too will see how great the Lord is. It is a very simple psalm. Sing, praise, worship, and give glory unto the Lord. I cannot make it any more exact for each of us.

Lord, let us sing praises unto you and the mercy and salvation you give each of us. Amen!
