Loud Songs; Sweet Meditation

I love Psalm 104.  Few psalms go after the glory and majesty of the Lord more clearly and more thoroughly than this psalm.  After describing the Lord's glory in specific parts of creation, and finally in man, the psalmist sums up his own reaction to all of this truth in vv. 33-34: I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live; I will sing unto the Lord while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord. (KJV)

What ought my reaction be to God's greatness, glory, and majesty?  Loud songs and sweet meditation!  We only have so many breaths on this earth and so much time.  What better way to spend that time, or expend those breaths than praising God our creator?
