"Praise From The Upright Is Beautiful" (Psalm 33:1-11)
(Memorization Scripture 1-4)

1 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.
2 Praise the Lord with the harp; make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is right, and all His work is done in truth.
5 He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.

Reflection:
This psalm calls upon the “righteous” and the “upright” who fear God to rejoice in Him and praise Him. For He is the One Who spoke, and it was done; Who commanded, and it stood fast. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, with authority to judge the world, yet He has chosen and redeemed us by His grace and love. As those called to be His “righteous” and “upright” people, set apart as His own, it is fitting and right for us to praise and glorify Him.
From the time Moses and Miriam led the people of Israel in singing songs of praise for God's salvation, to the vision of John in Revelation where multitudes in heaven sing praises to the Lord, God’s judges, prophets, angels, apostles, and saints have continually lifted up “new songs” of worship. Today, as redeemed sinners and beloved children of God, it is fitting that we too praise and thank Him. This is both the proper content of our lives and the testimony of who we are.
Indeed, let us rejoice daily in the Lord and join in singing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb:
“Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!
Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy.
For all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.” (Revelation 15:3-4)
