Sing to him, sing psalms to him: talk you of all his wondrous works.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvelous works.
Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.
Sing to him, sing psalms to him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; talk ye of all his marvelous works.
Talk ye of all his wondrous works - נפלאתיו niphleothaiv, "of his miracles." Who have so many of these to boast of as Christians! Christianity is a tissue of miracles; and every part of the work of grace on the soul is a miracle. Genuine Christian converts may talk of miracles from morning to night; and they should talk of them, and recommend to others their miracle-working God and Savior.
Sing unto him - Sing before him; offer him praise.
Sing psalms unto him - The word here rendered "sing psalms" means properly "to prune," and then, to" cut off," as a discourse at regular periods; or, to utter in rhythmical numbers; and then it means to accompany such words with an instrument of music. The idea here is, that he is to be approached, not merely with "singing," but with sentiments expressed in the form of regular composition - in musical numbers.
Talk ye - The word used here very commonly means to meditate, to muse (compare the notes at Psalm 1:2), but would here seem to be employed in the sense of "talking over," to wit, in singing. That is, In the psalms used let there be a "narrative" of what God has done. Let his works be the subject of the words used in the psalm.
Of all his wondrous works - Of what he has done that is suited to excite wonder and admiration. Compare Psalm 77:12.
