Praise is Comely for the Upright!
By:Robert A Searles
If we want to experience the joy and presence of the LORD with us all the time wherever we go, and whatever we are doing, then we need to keep his praises always on our lips, and mean it with all our heart, and speak it out loud to be heard by all, God promises to inhabit the praise of his people. We have much for which to praise the LORD. Let us always rejoice in the LORD. The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
If we find ourselves in a fellowship where the audible praise of the LORD and the outward expression of our joy of the LORD is thought to be not scriptual, then this is not a good group to be a part of, because the psalmist encourages us to clap our hands and make a loud noise in praise of God.
" Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.1 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
