Manage episode 364997451 series 3437881
The Book of Psalms ends with 5 grand Psalms of Praise. Each of these Psalms begins and ends with Praise the Lord, or in Hebrew, Hallelujah! In Psalm 146 we trust not in princes or people, but in the Lord. We find in Psalm 147, that "The Lord favors those who fear Him, those who wait for His lovingkindness," and not in the strength of horses or in the legs of man. With Psalm 148 we see that both the heavens and the earth and all that is in them are to praise the Lord. We also see that the Lord has lifted up a horn for His people, and we learn that the Horn is Jesus. Found in Psalm 149 we see directions for corporate and private worship and two key things needed is praise in our mouth and the two-edged sword in our hand, the word of God. The last Psalm #150, we find the answer to where, why, how, and who to praise the Lord. Where? In His sanctuary and His mighty expanse. Why? Because of His mighty deeds and His excellent greatness. How? With trumpet, harp, lyre, tambourine and dancing, stringed instrument and pipe, loud cymbals and resounding cymbals. Who? EVERYTHING that has breath praise the Lord.
