Sing Because He Is Good

Psalm 33:1-5

1 Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous!

Praise befits the upright.

2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;

make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!

3 Sing to him a new song;

play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.

4 For the word of the LORD is upright,

and all his work is done in faithfulness.

5 He loves righteousness and justice;

the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.

We sing to God because He is good.

SING FOR JOY TO THE LORD (PSALM 33:1)

What does it mean to “sing for joy to the Lord”? How is this different from simply singing about Him?
The verse says praise is “fitting for the upright.” Why do you think praise is described as fitting or appropriate?
When is it hardest for you to sing joyfully to God, and what helps you to do it anyway?

SING FROM THANKFULNESS TO THE LORD (PSALM 33:2-3)

These verses mention using instruments and skill in worship. What does this teach us about giving our best to God in praise?
How can thankfulness shape the way we approach worship—both privately and together as a church?
What’s a recent example of something God has done that makes you want to sing to Him with gratitude?

SING WITH LOVE TO THE LORD (PSALM 33:4-5)

Verses 4–5 describe God’s character—His truth, faithfulness, righteousness, and love. Which of these traits stands out most to you, and why?
How do these qualities of God stir up love and worship in your heart?
What practical ways can we cultivate deeper love for God in our worship (beyond just singing)?

In the upcoming weeks at church, what is one practical commitment you can make in order to grow in how you sing because He is good?
