Sunday psalms:

My heart is confident in you, 

O God; 

no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!

Wake up, 

lyre and harp! 

I will wake the dawn with my song.

I will thank you, 

Lord, 

among all the people. 

I will sing your praises among the nations. 

For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, 

O God, 

above the highest heavens. 

May your glory shine over all the earth.

Psalms 108 1-5 NLT

This is a song of David  and has a different feel to the last few psalms. 

This half of the song is all about our God and it starts in his heart, moves to his body,

then out loud,

to the people,

to all nations,

to the heavens.

It's almost like as David has started considering and writing about who God is, He became more.

Bigger.

All encompassing.

As we allow our heart to expand our God's Unfailing Love, His faithfulness can bind up our hurt, overwhelm our despair, change and shift our thoughts and speak life into the parts of us that might feel like they're dying. 

Maybe in this song it's the "I will" statements that we need to hear, that we can choose to follow:

I will get up early and play some music of praise.

I will be grateful. 

I will choose to sing. Singing is a heart thing, and this song of David invites us to choose to sing to Him, the One who loves us.
