Applications 1. Song and music were important to ancient Israel in every area of life. They should be important to you in every area of your life. No one style or instrument is above another. The sheer quantity of the Psalms speaks to the importance of praise to the Lord in music and song. 2. You should praise the Lord with your voice. 3. You should praise the Lord with an instrument, if you play. 4. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. 150: 6
