Psalm 33:1–11, “Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 1The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.”

It is always good to rejoice in the Lord. There are many people who blame God for the bad things that happen to them but they are wrong. The Lord defined good for the benefit of all but mankind chose to ignore the Lord’s definitions and remake the definition of good. As soon as people chose to reject God’s definition of good then evil began to multiply on the earth. God’s definition of good is completely unselfish but whenever anyone else wants to define good there is always an element of selfishness in this definition. As soon as “good” offers an advantage to one person then other people suffer. The upright are those who are willing to accept that God knows what He is talking about and has the only true and perfect definition of good. For those who enjoy the Lord’s goodness then there are plenty of reasons to praise the Lord and thank Him. A grateful heart fills people with a desire to sing of the Lord’s goodness and all the good things that He continues to do each and every day.
