Another thing, for it is good to sing praises to our God. As Isaiah said (Isaiah 52:7), "How beautiful upon the mountains, etc." When the Lord reigns, all announce the good news, as it is said (ibid.), "Bringing good news and proclaiming peace." And it is said (Zephaniah 3:14), "Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion, etc." About what? "The Lord has taken away the judgments against you."
So when the Lord reigns, all praise Him. And thus it says above this passage, "The Lord will reign forever." The King of the universe is worthy of praise for His Kingdom. At that moment, all sing, all praise, all exalt when they see Him as King.
Therefore it is said (Isaiah 52:7), "Tell Zion, 'Your God reigns!'" And what is written after that? "Your watchmen lift up their voices, etc." And it is said (Zephaniah 3:14), "Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion, etc." About what? "The Lord has taken away the judgments against you."
So when the Lord reigns, they sing praises to Him. Therefore it is said, "For it is good to sing praises to our God." A human king, even if he is great and has the power to strike, if a poor man asks for his peace, it is a disgrace to him and he does not answer him. But the Lord is not like that.
Everything is acceptable to Him and He says, "Praise Me, for it is good before Me." As it is said, "For it is good to sing praises to our God, etc." "Who builds Jerusalem, etc." Just as the Lord is King in praise and songs, so Jerusalem is not built except in praise and songs. And you find this in the last building, which Hiram built. As it says (Ezra 3:10-11), "They laid the foundation of the temple and they sang responsively in praising and giving thanks, etc." Therefore it is said, "For it is good to sing praises to our God."
