Psalms 95-99: Sing, The Lord Reigns

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. - Ps. 95:1 NIV

Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day. - Ps. 96:1-2 NIV

The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice. - Ps. 97:1 NIV

Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done marvelous things; - Ps. 98:1 NIV

The LORD reigns, let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. - Ps. 99:1 NIV

There seems to be a pattern here. Sing it says. Sing a new song. Not the same old song of grumbling, anxiety and fear. No! Sing a new song! Sing a joyful song! Sing a song of praise! For the Lord reigns. No matter what. He sits enthroned between the cherubim. Let the earth shake, let the nations tremble. The Lord reigns. And we sing.
