Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
The summons is universal, calling all the earth and all people to sing to the Lord and bless His name. To bless His name is to make His salvation and His saving work known. That showing forth is to be continual, done day after day, from day to day without ceasing. Praise joined to the public declaration of God's salvation belongs to the message to be carried to the world.
The lines around it carry the same praise outward into declaring His glory and His wonders among all peoples. In worship this takes form in songs of praise and prayer and in retelling His wondrous works as the voice of gratitude, and angels unite in that praise. Such worship pushes back the power of Satan, cultivates love, and trains worshipers for the greater praise to be offered in God's presence.
