Psalm 138 is a prophetic psalm; it speaks of the time when Christ will reign on earth.
The kings of the earth will hear the words of His mouth, as David says. They will say, “Never man spake like this man.” They will come, like the queen of Sheba, from the ends of the earth to see Him, to listen to Him. Each will return saying, “Behold, the half was never told me.”
And they will sing! When the rulers of the world meet in conference now, they do not open their sessions with song. They neither sing nor pray. There is not much to sing about and most of them do not believe in prayer. The rulers and delegates of the nations meet to discuss the storm clouds that hang, now here, now there, over the world, or to discuss this crisis or that outrage or this famine or that economic woe. What with the hostilities, rivalries, and jealousies of both superpowers and lesser powers, there is not much to sing about (though there is plenty to pray about) when the nations convene in conference. They squabble now. They will sing then.
And sing we will to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!
A man once complained to the pastor, “I don’t like the hymns you chose today.” “That’s OK,” came the reply. “We weren’t singing them to you.” Amen!

What to do:
✞Think about it. If there is a singing which is in the way of the Lord, then is there not a singing which is not in the ways of the Lord? Make sure your singing is right!
