The psalmist opens with exhortation to the righteous to rejoice and sing in response to God's nature and works. The imperatives establish that joy and praise are the appropriate responses to the reality of God's sovereignty. The address to "you righteous ones" suggests that the psalm is directed toward those who acknowledge God's authority. The phrase "praise is fitting for the upright" emphasizes that praise is not optional but the natural and appropriate expression. The opening establishes the fundamental posture: exuberant acknowledgment of God's majesty through song.
