Suppose we are creating a religion that worships some god. What kind of music would fit a god? Maybe a very serious song, or maybe an intimidating song. I'm not saying there aren't happy songs to the gods, but I think they're not as common as in Judeo-Christian worship songs.
YHWH is the one, the only one, who brings joy to our hearts.
In Psalm 100 we read:
2 Serve Yahweh cheerfully.
Come into his presence with a joyful song.
why rejoice before the Lord?
Because:
- He created us,
- we are His people (chosen by Him) whom He cares for,
- we are grateful to Him.
- He is good
- He is merciful
- He is faithful, trustworthy
The Psalm ends with:
5 Yahweh is good.
His mercy endures forever.
His faithfulness endures throughout every generation.
