Psalming

The LORD is my strength and song,
​​And He has become my salvation;
​​He is my God, and I will praise Him;
​​My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
  -- Exodus 15:2

Sometime back, way back, in the day, Israel began psalming. Whether it was poetry or song lyrics, the writing down of what they said and sang to the Lord became a thing. Perhaps they had sung songs for years before some bright bulb decided to start writing down the lyrics so that they sang the same thing more than once. Given the length of the song in Exodus 15, one would think this was not their first time. Some of us can blurt out a few clever lines here and there, but to compose an entire song takes effort and practice, which some say is the same thing repeated many times. Singing praises to the Lord our God has a strong tradition, and we should do it often.

Grab a psalm and sing along!
