“Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.”
The psalmist calls on all the faithful to sing praises and give thanks for the holiness of God's name, inviting the assembled community to join in celebrating God's intervention. The verb "sing" suggests loud, joyful voice and the creation of a corporate sound of praise. The address to the assembly positions the psalmist's personal recovery as a corporate matter. The command to "give thanks to his holy name" emphasizes that the appropriate response to God's intervention is public recognition and gratitude. The phrase "remember his holiness" suggests that thanksgiving serves a commemorative function.
