Psalm 113
I love that the psalmist directs us to praise God for the numerous ways that He works His providential ways in the universe. Praise is always a right decision, and there are so few things that can be said of. Spurgeon's commentary sees praise as a form of duty, a rightful service:
"His service is perfect freedom, and those who fully enter into it discover in that service a thousand reasons for adoration. They are sure to praise God best who serve him best; indeed, service is praise. "
He views our works for the Lord as a form of praise---good to broaden our definition. Praise is the same as worship, funny how "worship" has become a more common term these days and is typically associated with music specifically.
"These were not vain repetitions, for the theme is one which we ought to dwell upon; it should be deeply impressed upon the soul, and perseveringly kept prominent in the life." -Spurgeon
