It's What Lovers Do

Psalms 69-71


May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!”

When I first read that it struck me as just another example of how we don't worship the same way our fathers of old did, but as I considered it more, I begin to see in it... simple wisdom. When we love anyone dearly, we sing their praises. At competitions we cheer when our children are faster or smarter, etc. and tell others how great they are. We brag on our spouses and tell others how great they are. Why wouldn't we repeatedly shout "God is Great" when we consider the work of his hand and the salvation that he bought for us. God, you are so great, and I am so small, have mercy on me.
