This is a very interesting psalm. It begins as if the psalmist is ready to praise God and celebrate His feast, but then it shifts. A new voice steps in. It is as if God were clearing His throat and interrupting the psalmist's praise with a warning. This has caused me to wonder if there are not times in our lives or in our churches where God would like to step in and say, "I'm waiting for you to repent." Praising God is good, but I think that, as with sacrifice, God would prefer obedience over praise (1 Samuel 15:22).
