Psalms 145:7. They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
What a beautiful expression! "They shall abundantly utter." The original has in it the idea of bubbling up, boiling over, bursting out like a fountain; men’s hearts shall get to be so full of gratitude to God that they shall overflow with the memory of his great goodness. Then they shall sing. Singing is the language of jubilant nature: "The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing." Singing is the language of men when they wish to express their highest joys. The saints sing the high praises of their God. Singing is the language of the holy angels; did they not, when they came to Bethlehem, sing concerning the newborn King? Singing is the language of heaven, and most marvellous of all, singing is the highest language that ever God uses: "He will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing." Oh, for more holy singing!
