People make noise over many causes; some are worth the noise. Others are disturbances of the peace. The most important cause to cry out over is not a cause at all, but it is a Person.

You are a child and servant of the Most High God and as such, you should not withhold your praises. As a stallion neighs shrilly over his herd in pride, you should give a ringing cry of joy and exaltation for the One who is worthy of all praise.

Even though you used to dwell in a dry, parched place, you now live and abide in Adonai, the Holy One. He has made you excel; you are bright, preeminent, and enduring. He has set you up as a signpost and monument of His grace and mercy.

The Lord your God is great and powerful; He is important and distinguished. Magnify Jehovah, the Almighty God, who always prevails over your enemies. He is the ram, the Lamb of God, who sacrificed His life and shed His blood to deliver you. He is Emmanuel, God with us. who drew near to you to save you.
