Psalm 33:1-7 Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous!

Psalm 33:1-7

Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; make melody to Him with the harp of ten strings! Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts. For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD. By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; He puts the deeps in storehouses.

Yes, my Lord, the earth is full of Your steadfast love, but I see as in a mirror dimly. However You give me a key here, a way to sharpen the eyes of my heart. As I become more intentional about shouting for joy, giving thanks to You, singing to You and praising You, the eyes of my heart begin to see, my heart is warmed and transformed, Your faithfulness, righteousness, and justice are revealed.
