C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes that joy is the essence of the Christian faith, where worship is not just a duty but a privilege filled with delight. He encourages believers to approach God with songs of joy, whether in communal worship or personal struggles, as Jesus has removed our burdens and replaced them with the call to rejoice. Spurgeon highlights that the redeemed should lead in praising the Lord, celebrating the freedom from sin and the joy of salvation.

Andrew Bonar emphasizes the significance of praise in the life of a believer, highlighting that it is 'pleasant' to God, 'good' for our sanctification, and 'comely' in all circumstances. He illustrates how praise can bring God's presence, as seen in the Temple and during Jehoshaphat's battle, and how it can transform our hearts and situations, even in times of affliction. Bonar encourages believers to incorporate praise into their prayers and daily lives, asserting that true praise is unselfish and leads to joy and contentment. He warns that the unsaved cannot truly sing the Lord's song and calls for a heart transformation to join in the eternal song of the redeemed. Ultimately, Bonar points to the future joy of singing with Christ in heaven, where our praises will be everlasting.
