Psalms 104:33

I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live. The thought of God's glory, which ensures the Church's everlasting safety determines the Psalmist (as representative of Israel literal and spiritual) to praise the Lord so long as his life gives him the opportunity of praise (), before death prevents him praising God on earth (; ).
