For God is the King of all the earth;I find it interesting that the command here is to sing with a skillful psalm. It's not a joyful psalm. It's not a loud psalm, or a heartfelt psalm. It's a skillful psalm. This suggests that skill really does matter to God. Doing something because you want to, or because you think you should, isn't enough. In fact, it might be detrimental.
Sing praises with a skillful psalm.
There are times when "Christian pop" really irritates me. A song doesn't just need a catchy tune, and use words that don't really say anything significant. There has to be a true skill to what is written and performed. This is a reason I go to a church that doesn't just go through the "Christian top 10" for its worship. A song has to mean something, or it's not real praise, just exhibition.
