Singing was a way to express joy, gratitude, and reverence to God. The Psalms, often referred to as the hymnbook of Israel, were used in temple worship and personal devotion. Singing to the LORD is a call to acknowledge His sovereignty and goodness. In the New Testament, <a href="/ephesians/5-19.htm">Ephesians 5:19</a> and <a href="/colossians/3-16.htm">Colossians 3:16</a> encourage believers to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, continuing this tradition of musical worship.<p><b>Bless His name</b><br>To bless God's name is to speak well of Him, acknowledging His character and deeds. In Hebrew culture, a name represented the essence of a person. Thus, blessing God's name is an act of worship that recognizes His holiness, power, and love. This practice is seen throughout the Psalms and is echoed in the Lord's Prayer in <a href="/matthew/6-9.htm">Matthew 6:9</a>, where Jesus teaches His disciples to hallow God's name. It reflects a heart of gratitude and reverence.<p><b>Proclaim His salvation</b><br>Proclaiming salvation involves declaring the deliverance and redemption that God provides. In the Old Testament, this often referred to physical deliverance from enemies or oppression. However, it also foreshadows the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ, as seen in the New Testament. <a href="/acts/4-12.htm">Acts 4:12</a> emphasizes that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus. This proclamation is a call to evangelism, sharing the good news of God's saving grace with others.<p><b>Day after day</b><br>The phrase "day after day" suggests a continual, ongoing action. Worship and proclamation are not meant to be occasional but a regular part of a believer's life.
