The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
Read Chapter 38
Athanasius the Apostolic
AD 373
At no time should one freely praise God more than when one has passed through afflictions. Nor again should one at any time give thanks more than when he finds rest from toil and temptations. As Hezekiah, when the Assyrians perished, praised the Lord and gave thanks, saying, “The Lord is my salvation, and I will not cease to bless you with harp all the days of my life, before the house of the Lord.” - "Festal Letter 10.3"
