Finally...Justification for Me to Sing

There's a great verse in Scripture that I read today. Psalm 63:7 is a prayer to God that says "Because you are my help, I will sing in the shadow of your wings." I wanted to know the definition of sing and found something fun.

to sing (Hebrew): to creak (or emit a stridulous sound); to shout (usually for joy)

I wasn't familiar with the word stridulous (it's not that I didn't know it, it's just that I had not learned it yet). Stridulous means:

Making or having a harsh or grating sound.

Finally, I can sing freely with my harsh & grating sound and call it being Biblical!
