The plea for rescue from above belongs within praise of the Lord that displays His mercies and unbounded goodness. It stands as a rebuke to lack of praise, confronting coldness and silence toward God with the abundance of what He has done.

From that awakened sense are to come precious testimonies of praise, spoken expressions that honor Him for His goodness.
