“Sing to the Lord for He has done wonderful things, make known His Praise around World” Isaiah 12:5 NLT “And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of Fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries and on timbrels and on cornets and on cymbals” II Samuel 6:5 KJV These are a couple of many scriptures to describe the soul felt desire to glorify God in Praise & Worship as a Psalmist, Musician and Preacher of the Gospel.
