  1. Sing Praises Unto the Lord Lesson 11 “From the rising of the sun to its going down The LORD's name is to be praised.” -- Psalm 113:3

  2. The Spiritual Nature of Music Music can express and change the human spirit in a way that nothing else does. Note its effect on King Saul in 1 Samuel 16:15-23 And its use among Christians in James 5:13b It is pleasant! “Sing praises to His name, for it is pleasant.” (Psalm 135:3; cf. 147:1) It is “an emotional lift when we are down or an effective outlet for our exuberance when we are up.” Its full effect can only be achieved by participation. “The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.” (Psalm 28:7)

  3. Sing Praise Unto the Lord Singing is more than just filler. It involves the “sacrifice of the lips.” (Hebrews 13:15) It deserves “all that is within me.” (Psalms 103:1; 9:1; 104:33; 146:2) It gives to God the praise which He desires and deserves (Romans 15:9-11)

  4. We Can Learn Much from the Psalms about the Nature of Singing in Worship to God They were written for our learning (Romans 15:4) They were rich in emotion.
