NewPsalm 27:6

In his first reason, he says Psalm 27:6 demands we sing psalms. Here is Psalm 27:6 “And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.” All this verse says is to sing praises to God. Must that be Psalms? How did he arrive at that conclusion?
