Psalms 33:2
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
