The Hebrew word for "sing" is "zamar," which implies making music or singing praises. This act of singing is not merely a musical expression but a spiritual one, intended to glorify God. The addition of "with thanksgiving" emphasizes the attitude of gratitude that should accompany worship. Thanksgiving, or "todah" in Hebrew, is a form of praise that acknowledges God's goodness and provision. Historically, thanksgiving was a central part of Israelite worship, often associated with sacrifices and offerings, as seen in Leviticus 7:12-15. This phrase encourages believers to approach God with a heart full of gratitude, recognizing His continuous blessings and faithfulness. make music on the harp to our God Parallel Commentaries ...
