why do we make noise?

Psalm 149 in the message says this:

Sing to god a brand new song; praise him in the company of all who love Him. Let us strike up the band and make great music. And why? because God delights in His people...He festoons plain folk with salvation garlands.

The word festoon means to decorate, adorn, or wear and the word garland means a beautiful plaited wreath of flowers worn as a mark of honour.

The Psalm is saying that God will decorate us in a wreath of salvation...in other words, He will clothe us beautifully in salvation. As we praise Him, he will decorate us with the beautiful fragrance of eternity. He will turn the plain and ordinary into something extraordinary. He will take us plain fold and make us beautiful. Forever.
