Praise Because of Salvation
Isaiah 60:18
Violence shall no more be heard in your land, wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation…


The Rabbins say that when God created the universe He asked the highest seraph what he thought of the work of His hands — and he replied that nothing was wanting but that it should become vocal, and be able audibly to speak its Maker's praise. But in the work of salvation it is so: "to Him that sitteth on the throne" it rises in the grandeur of loud peals of harmony.

(E. Paxton Hood.)
