Praise the Lord! How good it is to sing praises to our God; for he is gracious, and a song of praise is fitting. The opening celebrates the goodness and fittingness of praise itself; singing becomes an appropriate response to God's graciousness. How good it is creates invitation for others to join in praise; the psalmist's own conviction draws others into participation. Fitting suggests that praise is not arbitrary but the naturally appropriate human response to divine graciousness. This verse frames praise as both pleasurable and morally fitting.
