All instruments and all occasions can be used to sing our praise to the Lord. Note that God's praise is warranted not only in the good times but also in "the time of sorrow" or in "the peace and quiet" (st. 2).

Liturgical Use:
As the text suggests, "praise the Lord anytime and anywhere" and "everywhere in every way"!
