Psalms 105:2 (KJV) Musically Minded

Psalms 105:2 (KJV)
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

The psalmist is addressing people about their relationship with God. His subject in this case is singing. Notice that he does not encourage them to sing songs to people about God. He urges them to sing directly to God.

How many Christian songs today are created and then performed for God’s benefit and not necessarily the hearers?

• How many songs today are written as a message to God? 
• How many of those songs are performed for God’s pleasure and not the assembly? 
• How often does the performer have God in mind rather than the audience?

I am not suggesting that every song must be written in the form of a prayer. I believe that the best place to get a clue as to how to write profitable spiritual songs would be the Psalms. There are a variety of subjects addressed in the Psalms. There are a multitude of audiences, sometimes within the same Psalm. The Psalms are written to cover:

• A wide array of emotions in 
• A number of situations with 
• A plethora of instruments 

Some are designed to be song by those ordained to a music ministry. Others are written to be sung by the congregation. Some of them are doctrinal. Some of them are worshipful. Some of them are motivational. The overriding principle is that they are to be pleasurable to God first.
