1 Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty firmament!
2 Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!
3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
5 Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD!
Devotional Reading
The Psalms begin with the requirements that we must have as our goals as Christians. It ends with our responsibility to praise Him for Who He is: a God Who is above us yet with us and concerned for us; a God Whose acts of power protect us and provide for us, and surpass all others because of His greatness. What a glorious God!
The Hebrew word for “praise” in this Psalm contains a significantly different meaning than the other words used for “praise.” It is yadah and means that we are “to confess publicly” God’s greatness. This is not something we often do. But it is something we must do. So, please ask yourself, and then answer the two questions below:
First: What God has done for me today?
1.
2.
3.
Second: What is God doing for me right now?
1.
2.
3.
Now comes the hard part: Find someone to share your responses with. Let them know how important your God is to you, the difference He makes in your life and how He can help them.
This Psalm talks of using noisy instruments to get the attention of others. However, the way we live should speak so loudly we won’t need noise-makers. Perhaps a final question is: How do others see God in my life?
Prayer: I pray, Father, that my life will be what You want it to be and that others will see You in the way I live. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
