“Sing to Him a new song…” Psalm 33:3a

LIMITLESS EXPRESSIONS OF PRAISE

How may we sing praises to the Lord? The expressions are literally limitless! The heart that has found true faith in the Lord will naturally seek to express itself in a myriad of ways. The following text gives us an idea of how praise to the Lord may be expressed.

“Praise the LORD with the harp;
Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.”
Psalm 33:2-3

a) To praise the LORD
b) To honour Him

2. The Expressions
