“…just as men spontaneously praise what they value, so they
spontaneously urge us to join them in praising it: “Isn’t she lovely? Wasn’ it glorious? Don’t you think that magnificent?” The Psalmists in telling everyone to praise
God are doing what all men do when they speak of what they care about…I think
we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but
completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep
on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete until
it is expressed.” – CS Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms, pp94-95
