Singing was a way to express joy, gratitude, and reverence towards God. The Psalms, often referred to as the hymnbook of Israel, were used in temple worship and personal devotion. Singing to God is a form of prayer and a means to glorify Him, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/ephesians/5-19.htm">Ephesians 5:19</a> and <a href="/colossians/3-16.htm">Colossians 3:16</a>, where believers are encouraged to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.<p><b>Sing praises to Him</b><br>This repetition underscores the importance of praise in worship. Praising God involves acknowledging His attributes, deeds, and character. In the cultural context of ancient Israel, music and song were integral to worship, often accompanied by instruments as described in <a href="/1_chronicles/15-16.htm">1 Chronicles 15:16</a>. The act of singing praises is not only a personal expression but also a communal activity, fostering unity among believers. This phrase also connects to the New Testament, where praise is a response to the revelation of Jesus Christ, as seen in <a href="/hebrews/13-15.htm">Hebrews 13:15</a>.<p><b>Tell of all His wonders</b><br>This phrase calls for the proclamation of God's miraculous deeds and mighty acts. The wonders of God include creation, the deliverance of Israel from Egypt, and His ongoing providence and protection. In the historical context, recounting God's wonders was a way to pass down faith and history to future generations, as instructed in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-7.htm">Deuteronomy 6:7</a>. This proclamation is also prophetic, pointing to the ultimate wonder of Christ's resurrection and the salvation it brings, as highlighted in <a href="/acts/2-22.htm">Acts 2:22-24</a>. The telling of God's wonders serves as a testimony to His power and faithfulness, encouraging others to trust in Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to King David, the psalmist is the one who composes this song of praise, encouraging the people of Israel to worship God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Him)</a></b><br>The central figure of the psalm, God is the one to whom the praises and songs are directed.
