Psalm 145 gives us a beautiful picture of a life of praise! In vivid detail, we are told how to praise God and what we are to praise God for in word, thought and deed.
When I read Scripture, I love looking at 2 things.
- God's characteristics & role (blue)
- My role and purpose
Psalm 145
"I will extol thee, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name for ever and ever.
Every day will I bless You; and I will praise Your name for ever and ever.
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
"I will extol thee, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name for ever and ever.
Every day will I bless You; and I will praise Your name for ever and ever.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.
I will speak of the glorious honour of Your majesty, and of Your wondrous works.
And men shall speak of the might of Your terrible acts: and I will declare Your greatness.
They shall abundantly utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness.
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
The LORD is good to all: and His tender mercies are over all His works.
All thy works shall praise You, O LORD; and Your saints shall bless You.
They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power;
To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
The LORD upholds all that fall, and raises up all those that be bowed down.
The eyes of all wait upon You; and You give them their meat in due season.
You opens Your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works.
The LORD is near unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth.
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
The LORD preserves all them that love Him: but all the wicked will He destroy.
My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless His holy name for ever and ever."
King's daughter, spend some time praising the King for all that He is and all that He does for you! Pray for opportunities to make known the glorious majesty of our King! Bless His name and give Him the glory due His Name!
What characteristic of God is especially exciting for you?
