Psalm 108 - Day 108

A song. A psalm of David.

^[a]1 My heart, O God, is steadfast;
   I will sing and make music with all my soul.
² Awake, harp and lyre!
   I will awaken the dawn.
³ I will praise you, LORD, among the nations;
   I will sing of you among the peoples.
⁴ For great is your love, higher than the heavens;
   your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
⁵ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
   let your glory be over all the earth.

⁶ Save us and help us with your right hand,
   that those you love may be delivered.
⁷ God has spoken from his sanctuary:
   “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem
   and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.
⁸ Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
   Ephraim is my helmet,
   Judah is my scepter.
⁹ Moab is my washbasin,
   on Edom I toss my sandal;
   over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

¹⁰ Who will bring me to the fortified city?
   Who will lead me to Edom?
¹¹ Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us
   and no longer go out with our armies?
¹² Give us aid against the enemy,
   for human help is worthless.
¹³ With God we will gain the victory,
   and he will trample down our enemies.

Music and I go together like peanut butter and jelly. A perfect match. I not only like to sing it, hear, play it most, but most definitely dance to it. I start to groove when I hear a good beat and sometimes it's hard to contain myself when I'm in public. What if I didn't have to? What if I could just worship whenever my soul felt the desire and need? I still struggle with this sometimes in my own church. Sure I'll start out singing a song but then my body takes over and I just want to dance down the aisles! What if I did that one time? I'm sure people would have a lot to say about it. It's hard to be held back when you feel the Holy Spirit in you. I love music! And I love how it is in scripture all the time and how we should praise God with music.
