Worshipping in a pagan world
Worship comes from the heart
An undivided heart: I will praise You with my whole heart;
I will praise You with my whole heart;
A worship that can’t be silenced: Before the gods I will sing praises to You.
Before the gods I will sing praises to You.
The New King James Version.
(1982).

No intimidation by the false worship of false gods
No recognition or endorsement of these gods
No compromise with the foreign gods
Before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
Why should these idols rob Jehovah of his praises?
The Psalmist will not for a moment suspend his songs because there are images before him, and their foolish worshippers might not approve of his music.
I believe David referred to the false gods of the neighbouring nations, and the deities of the surviving Canaanites.
He was not pleased that such gods were set up; but he intended to express at once his contempt of them, and his own absorption in the worship of the living Jehovah by continuing most earnestly to sing wherever he might be.
It would be paying these dead idols too much respect to cease singing because they were perched aloft.
In these days when new religions are daily excogitated, and new gods are set up, it is well to know how to act.
Bitterness is forbidden, and controversy is apt to advertise the heresy; the very best method is to go on personally worshipping the Lord with unvarying zeal, singing with heart and voice his royal praises.
Do they deny the Divinity of our Lord?
Let us the more fervently adore him.
Do they despise the atonement?
Let us the more constantly proclaim it.
Had half the time spent in councils and controversies been given to praising the Lord, the church would have been far sounder and stronger than she is at this day.
The Hallelujah Legion will win the day.
Praising and singing are our armour against the idolatries of heresy, our comfort under the depression caused by insolent attacks upon the truth, and our weapons for defending the gospel.
Faith when displayed in cheerful courage, has about it a sacred contagion: others learn to believe in the Most High when they see his servant —Charles Spurgeon
True worship is directed by and to God
Temple worship gave us a pattern but more importantly it gave us the purpose, to worship the true and living God
The place of worship is holy: I will worship toward Your holy temple,
I will worship toward Your holy temple,

God desires the worship from the heart

Worship is only acceptable if it is based upon the truth and led by the Holy Spirit of God

Worship includes prayer

Nashville: Thomas Nelson.
It was a bitter, earnest, eager prayer, as natural and as plaintive as the cry of a babe.
The Lord answered it, but what answer can there be to a cry? -- to a mere inarticulate wail of grief?
Our heavenly Father is able to interpret tears, and cries, and he replies to their inner sense in such a way as fully meets the case.
—Charles Spurgeon
God strengthens our soul with strength: And made me bold with strength in my soul.
