I have to believe that our God loves singing because there are so many references to singing in the Scriptures.  Just look at the Psalms alone.  Are they not poems and are they not to be sung?  The language is beautiful; regal; it is a Book of worship.  Worship for our God who is worthy of all praise just for who He is!
 
Let’s look at some of the  introduction to individual Psalms and to some verses in individual Psalms to see if this is not so.
 
The introductions to:
Psalm 4: “To the Chief Musician; with stringed instruments…”
Psalm 5: “To the Chief Musician; with flutes...”
Psalms 6 & 12: “To the Chief Musician, with stringed instruments, upon an eight-stringed harp…”
Psalm 8: “To the Chief Musician on the instrument of Gath…”
Psalm 9: “To the Chief Musician. To the tune of ‘Death to the Son…”
Psalms 11; 13;14;19;20: “To the Chief Musician…”
Psalm 18: “To the Chief Musician.  A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.  And he said:”  (Here I have written the whole introduction of Psalm 18.)
 
I only noted the introductions from the first 20 Psalms, but you can see that God must love singing for the words of the Psalms were inspired by Him.  As we see in 2 Timothy 3:16,
“All Scripture is inspired by God…”
 
You can go through the Psalms yourself to see just how often there is a direction for the Chief Musician.
 
Now let’s look at some of the verses in the Psalms themselves to see how the Psalmist encourages our singing.
 
Psalm 33:1&3, “Sing for joy (rejoice) in the LORD, O you righteous ones;
                            Praise is becoming to the upright.”
                           “Sing to Him a new song…”
 
Psalm 66:1-3, “Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;
                          Sing the glory of His name;
                          Make His praise glorious.” 
 
Psalm 81:1, “Sing for joy to God our strength;
                       Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.”
 
Psalm 92:1, “It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
                      And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High.”
 
Psalm 95:1, “O Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;
                       Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.”
 
Psalm 96:1, “Sing to the LORD a new song;
                       Sing to the LORD all the earth,”
 
Psalm 98:1, “O sing to the LORD anew song,
                       For He has done wonderful things.”
 
These are but a few of the verses in the psalms encouraging us to sing to the Lord and there are many more through the Bible.  (There are many references to singing in just the Psalms alone.)
[Read more verses and be blessed.]
 
I know that many will say, “But I can’t sing.”  Never mind, you can make a joyful noise to the Lord.  The focus is not on us, but it is to praise our gracious, good and loving Lord. For it is from Him, through Him, and in Him that we have life.
 
So, in this time that we find ourselves, let us do as the Apostle Paul exhorts us to do in Ephesians 5,
“…be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing making melody with your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”  Vs. 18-20
 
So we sing:
“Sing praises to God sing praises;
Sing praises to God sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth,
Sing praises to His name.”
Amen
