Quick answer
Sing to Him, sing praises, and tell of all His marvelous works. Praise and proclamation belong together.
Overview
The call to worship continues with singing and recounting God's wondrous deeds. To praise God rightly is to remember and retell what He has done. The marvelous works of old find their climax in the work of Christ, the greatest of God's wonders, which His people are to declare in song and word.
