(ב) עָזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ וַיְהִי לִי לִישׁוּעָה זֶה אֵלִי וְאַנְוֵהוּ אֱלֹהֵי אָבִי וַאֲרֹמְמֶנְהוּ.
(2) Ozi v'zimrat yah. Va'yihi li lishua.
Yah is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will glorify Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
(כ) וַתִּקַּח מִרְיָם הַנְּבִיאָה אֲחוֹת אַהֲרֹן אֶת הַתֹּף בְּיָדָהּ וַתֵּצֶאןָ כָל הַנָּשִׁים אַחֲרֶיהָ בְּתֻפִּים וּבִמְחֹלֹת. (כא) וַתַּעַן לָהֶם מִרְיָם שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה כִּי גָאֹה גָּאָה סוּס וְרֹכְבוֹ רָמָה בַיָּם.
(20) And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. (21) And Miriam sang out to them: Sing to HaShem, for He is highly exalted: The horse and his rider He has thrown into the sea.
(א) הַלְלוּ יָהּ הַלְלוּ אֵל בְּקָדְשׁוֹ הַלְלוּהוּ בִּרְקִיעַ עֻזּוֹ. (ב) הַלְלוּהוּ בִגְבוּרֹתָיו הַלְלוּהוּ כְּרֹב גֻּדְלוֹ. (ג) הַלְלוּהוּ בְּתֵקַע שׁוֹפָר הַלְלוּהוּ בְּנֵבֶל וְכִנּוֹר. (ד) הַלְלוּהוּ בְתֹף וּמָחוֹל הַלְלוּהוּ בְּמִנִּים וְעוּגָב. (ה) הַלְלוּהוּ בְצִלְצְלֵי שָׁמַע הַלְלוּהוּ בְּצִלְצְלֵי תְרוּעָה. (ו) כֹּל הַנְּשָׁמָה תְּהַלֵּל יָהּ הַלְלוּ יָהּ.
(1) Praise God! Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in the heavens, His stronghold. (2) Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His abundant greatness. (3) Praise Him with the blast of the shofar; Praise Him with the lyre and harp. (4) Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and the pipe. (5) Praise Him with the loud-sounding cymbals; Praise Him with the clanging cymbals. (6) Let every thing that has breath praise Yah. Hallelujah.

In this material world, especially if we have sinned and are very far from God, the main way to attach ourselves to God is through melody and song.
Likutey Halachot, Nesiat Kapayim 5:6
It is good to get into the habit of livening yourself up with a tune.
Holy melodies are very exalted, having great power to stir the heart and draw it to God.
Even if you cannot sing well, you can still inspire yourself with a tune. Sing it as best as you can, in privacy if you wish. The loftiness of melody is beyond all measure.
Sichot Haran #273
A holy melody can bring you to the level of prophecy. Music is the foundation of true attachment to God.
