Nov 20, '15: "praise from the upright is beautiful"

Psalm 33:1
Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.


"beautiful" 
נָאוֶה (nä·veh')
from H4998 or H5116; 
^ H5000: suitable, or beautiful:—becometh, comely, seemly. 

נָאָה (nä·ä')
a primitive root;
^ H4998: properly, to be at home, i.e. (by implication) to be pleasant (or suitable), i.e. beautiful:—be beautiful, become, be comely.

"comely"
International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia: cognate with "becoming," namely, what is suitable, graceful, handsome. 

This probably is best thing about walking uprightly or living victoriously. 
I get to praise Him with a clear heart, washed by the precious blood of Christ, and can know that it is pleasing, beautiful, and suitable to God. 

There really is no greater feeling than knowing that I am pleasing Him. 

Knowing that my praise now is beautiful, I have peace. I am comforted. 
And I never want to leave. 

Psalm 33:1;
