Let Zion Rejoice
Psalm 33:1-9 The Message
33 1-3 Good people, cheer God!
Right-living people sound best when praising.
Use guitars to reinforce your Hallelujahs!
Play his praise on a grand piano!
Invent your own new song to him;
give him a trumpet fanfare.

4-5 For God’s Word is solid to the core;
everything he makes is sound inside and out.
He loves it when everything fits,
when his world is in plumb-line true.
Earth is drenched
in God’s affectionate satisfaction.

6-7 The skies were made by God’s command;
he breathed the word and the stars popped out.
He scooped Sea into his jug,
put Ocean in his keg.

8-9 Earth-creatures, bow before God;
world-dwellers—down on your knees!
Here’s why: he spoke and there it was,
in place the moment he said so.

For Reflection
It doesn't matter how eloquently you pray. It matters that you pray. Like prayer, it doesn't matter how well you sing. It matters that you sing! Sing to the top of your voice. Sing so that your world disappears in the cacophony. Like hard rock, get lost in the raucous joy. Sing to get lost in God's perfection. God will sing with you.
Pray
your prayers in song.
