Singing was a primary form of expressing devotion and gratitude to God, as seen throughout the Psalms. The use of music in worship is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, with King David himself being a skilled musician and composer of many psalms. This act of singing is not just a personal expression but a communal one, often performed in the temple or during festivals.<p><b>my lips will shout for joy</b><br>The expression of joy through shouting indicates an overwhelming sense of happiness and gratitude. In biblical times, shouting was a way to express strong emotions, whether in battle cries or in worship. This phrase suggests a spontaneous and exuberant response to God's goodness. The joy mentioned here is not merely an emotional response but a deep-seated assurance of God's faithfulness and deliverance, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/nehemiah/8-10.htm">Nehemiah 8:10</a>, where the joy of the Lord is described as strength.<p><b>along with my soul</b><br>The soul, in Hebrew thought, encompasses the entire being—mind, will, and emotions. This phrase indicates that the praise is not just a physical act but involves the whole person. It reflects a holistic approach to worship, where the inner self is fully engaged in the act of praising God. This aligns with the Shema in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-5.htm">Deuteronomy 6:5</a>, which calls for loving God with all one's heart, soul, and strength.<p><b>which You have redeemed</b><br>Redemption is a central theme in the Bible, often associated with God's deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt, as well as the spiritual redemption through Jesus Christ. In the Old Testament, redemption involved a kinsman-redeemer who would buy back or restore what was lost. This concept is fulfilled in the New Testament through Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection, offering redemption from sin. The psalmist's acknowledgment of being redeemed points to a personal experience of God's saving power, which is a cause for praise and joy.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/psalmist.htm">Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/71.htm">Psalm 71</a>, traditionally attributed to David, who expresses trust and praise to God throughout his life.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in the Psalm, who is praised for His acts of redemption and faithfulness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/r/redemption.htm">Redemption</a></b><br>The act of God saving or delivering the psalmist, which is a central theme in this verse.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/p/praise_and_worship.htm">Praise and Worship</a></b><br>The act of singing and shouting for joy as a response to God's redemption.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/j/joy.htm">Joy</a></b><br>The emotional response of the psalmist to God's redemptive work.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/j/joyful_response_to_redemption.htm">Joyful Response to Redemption</a></b><br>As believers, our natural response to God's redemptive work should be one of joy and praise.
