Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
The singing in the ways of the Lord belongs to worship directed toward His holy temple, with praise for His lovingkindness and truth magnified above His name. It is joined to answered crying, when strength is given in the soul. It concerns the high Lord who has respect to the lowly but knows the proud from afar. He revives in the midst of trouble and stretches out His hand against enemies to save, He will perfect what concerns His people, and His mercy endures forever.
God's servants sing in and about the ways of the Lord as they walk in them, because great is His glory. All the kings of the earth will praise the Lord when they hear the words of His mouth. This praise stands in contrast to the murmuring and complaining of the wicked.
The verse is an encouragement to lift weary, discouraged, downcast and worried souls to thanksgiving and praise. It lifts them to hope and joy in the Lord, and to living hope and living service. It strengthens all who wash their robes and make them white in the blood of the Lamb to stand firm and honor Christ amid severe trials and strong resistance. It enables them to remain sweet under trial, to reveal divine grace, and to stay converted under trying circumstances through prayer and watchfulness. So by overcoming through the blood of the Lamb and the word of testimony they are welcomed into the city of God in the day of final reckoning.
