Psalm 149

149:1 Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!
2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
3 Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
5 Let the godly exult in glory;
let them sing for joy on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their throats
and two-edged swords in their hands,
7 to execute vengeance on the nations
and punishments on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with chains
and their nobles with fetters of iron,
9 to execute on them the judgment written!
This is honor for all his godly ones.
Praise the Lord!

Let your song ring out. I have vivid memories in my house of my mom walking around often on Saturdays while cleaning singing at the top of her lungs. That is something I also do. When you are happy, doing what you are supposed to be doing you let it out in song.

Dance break out the instruments, let the party begin, for God finds leasure with us and raises up the humble. It takes humilty to set aside all that there is to do and dance, what you are struggling with often can be set aside so that you can realize that it is God who is most important. He is God and to be prasied.
