Psalm 113, worthy to be praised!

Psa 113:2-3, Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forevermore! FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN TO ITS GOING DOWN THE LORD’S NAME IS TO BE PRAISED.

The LORD is worthy of continual prayer! If we knew all that HE has done for us we would be completely amazed!

Ecc 3:11b, …Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that NO ONE CAN FIND OUT THE WORK THAT GOD DOES FROM BEGINNING TO END.

Rom 11:33, Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! HOW UNSEARCHABLE ARE HIS JUDGMENTS AND HIS WAYS PAST FINDING OUT! 

Psa 113:4-5, The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. Who is like the LORD our God, Who dwells on high,

HE can’t be compared to anyone or anything! HE is the Creator of all, who knows all and sees all! THERE IS NO-ONE LIKE OUR GOD!

Jer 10:6, INASMUCH AS THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU, O LORD (You are great, and Your name is great in might), 

Psa 113:6, WHO HUMBLES HIMSELF TO BEHOLD THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE HEAVENS AND IN THE EARTH? 

The psalmist is amazed that GOD is exalted so high yet HE stoops down low to see and take care of HIS creation! HE ALSO SENT HIS ONLY SON, CLOTHED HIM IN FLESH, TO DIED ON THE CROSS FOR US! AMAZING LOVE!

Joh 3:16, FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. 

Psa 113:7-8, He raises the POOR out of the dust, And lifts the NEEDY out of the ash heap, THAT HE MAY SEAT HIM WITH PRINCES—WITH THE PRINCES OF HIS PEOPLE.

HE takes the lowest of people and raises them up to sit with kings and rulers; EVEN THE KING OF kings and LORD of lords!

Eph 2:5-6, even when WE WERE DEAD IN TRESPASSES, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), AND RAISED US UP TOGETHER, AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS,

HE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

Psalm 97, useless idols!

Psa 97:1, THE LORD REIGNS; Let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad! 

The LORD REIGNS, there is no contender to the throne; HE made the earth and rules it! The day is coming where HE will be called “THE KING OF ALL THE EARTH”!  REJOICE!

Zec 14:9, AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH. In that day it shall be “The LORD is one,” And His name one. 

Psa 97:2-4, CLOUDS AND DARKNESS SURROUND HIM; … A FIRE GOES BEFORE HIM, And burns up His enemies round about. HIS LIGHTNINGS LIGHT THE WORLD; THE EARTH SEES AND TREMBLES.

The Psalmist is describing the day when the LORD of all came down on the mountain of GOD! HIS AWESOME PRESENCE!

Exo 19:16, 18, … THUNDERINGS AND LIGHTNINGS, AND A THICK CLOUD ON THE MOUNTAIN; and the SOUND OF THE TRUMPET WAS VERY LOUD, so that all the people who were in the camp TREMBLED…Now Mount Sinai WAS COMPLETELY IN SMOKE, BECAUSE THE LORD DESCENDED UPON IT IN FIRE. …, THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN QUAKED GREATLY. 

The LORD used Dark clouds to surround HIM, because HIS presence would have been too much for anyone to bear!

1Ti 6:16, …, DWELLING IN UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT, WHOM NO MAN HAS SEEN OR CAN SEE, …

Psa 97:6, THE HEAVENS DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THE PEOPLES SEE HIS GLORY.  

My father came to faith just by looking at everything around him! THE HEAVENS SHOUT THE EXISTENCE OF HIM WHO MADE IT! THERE IS NO EXCUSE!

Rom 1:20, …HIS INVISIBLE ATTRIBUTES ARE CLEARLY SEEN, BEING UNDERSTOOD BY THE THINGS THAT ARE MADE, EVEN HIS ETERNAL POWER AND GODHEAD, SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE, 

Psa 97:7, Let all be put to shame who serve carved images, Who boast of idols. WORSHIP HIM, all you gods.

YET, fools worship their so-called gods made by men’s hands! Don’t trip, you may break to pieces the god you bow down to! WORSHIP THE LORD ALL YOU MEN OF THE EARTH FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

Psalm 95, Worthy to be priased!

Psa 95:1-2, Oh come, let US sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the ROCK OF OUR SALVATION. LET US COME BEFORE HIS PRESENCE WITH THANKSGIVING; LET US SHOUT JOYFULLY TO HIM WITH PSALMS.

Let US, as a community of believers, give praises to the LORD for HE is worthy to be praised! To those that know their GOD, who HE is, what HE has done, and what HE has planned for those that seek HIM, must give praise to HIM for the best is yet to come!

1Co 2:9, But as it is written: “EYE HAS NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NOR HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN THE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.” 

Psa 95:4-5, In His hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it; And His hands formed the dry land.

From the lowest valleys to the highest hills, from sea to shore, HE has created everything we see around us! HE is the master craftsmen!

Psa 95:6, OH COME, LET US WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN; LET US KNEEL BEFORE THE LORD OUR MAKER.

As Christians, we bow down to HIM alone, Not to a statue or image, not the work of men’s hands, but to HIM alone! 

Psa 115:5-6, They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell;

These are the idols of lost men bowing to the work of men’s hands who cannot hear or see!

Psa 115:8, Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them. 

Even worse, those who make and believe in them are spiritually dead! THE DEAD PRIASING DEAD OBJECTS!

Psa 95:7-8, For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. TODAY, IF YOU WILL HEAR HIS VOICE: “DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, …

BUT HE is our GOD! The only true and living GOD! TODAY, if you hear HIS calling, listen to HIM and do not let pride get in your way! Wicked men also hear HIS calling, yet harden their hearts to HIM!

Rom 1:20, For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are CLEARLY SEEN, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE,

Psalm 92, It is good to give thanks!

Psa 92:1-2, … IT IS GOOD TO GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES TO YOUR NAME, O MOST HIGH; To declare Your LOVINGKINDNESS IN THE MORNING, And Your FAITHFULNESS EVERY NIGHT,

It is good to give thanks, because of what HE has done for us! HE is our creator, our redeemer, our blessed hope who has gone to prepare a place for us!

Lam 3:22-23, Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING; GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS.

Psa 92:4-5, For You, LORD, have made me glad THROUGH YOUR WORK; I will triumph in THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS. O LORD, HOW GREAT ARE YOUR WORKS! YOUR THOUGHTS ARE VERY DEEP.

Truly we should be grateful for the work of HIS hands, What HE has done for us! Because our works has brought in death and suffering, YET HIS work has restored the relationship that was lost in the garden; TO THOSE THAT SEEK HIM!

Psa 92:6, A senseless man does not know, Nor does a fool understand this. 

YET a senseless man only knows what he sees before his eyes! He doesn’t think of GOD at all, and is only focused on what he wants!  

Psa 10:4, The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts. 

Psa 92:12-13, THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL FLOURISH LIKE A PALM TREE, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. THOSE WHO ARE PLANTED IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD SHALL FLOURISH IN THE COURTS OF OUR GOD.

Yet, in comparison, those that dwell in the house of the LORD shall grow in strength! A palm tree stands tall in the desert for it is nourished by GOD HIMSELF! A palm tree my bend in a hurricane YET not broken for our strength comes from the LORD!

2Cor 4:8-9, We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed

Psa 92:14-15, They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him

IN HIM WE CAN BEAR FRUIT, BUT WITHOUT HIM WE HAVE NO HOPE! SEEK THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD, AND GIVE HIM PRIASE!

Psalm 81, Call upon the LORD!

Psa 81:1, …Sing aloud to God our strength; Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob. 

To the CONGREGATION SING LOUD to our GOD, who is worthy to be praised!

Psa 81:2, Raise a song and strike the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the lute.

To the WORSHIP LEADERS, skillfully play your instruments with Joy!

Psa 81:3, Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, At the full moon, on our solemn feast day. 

To the PRIEST, Blow the trumpet in reverence to HIM!  WE ALL HAVE A PART IN THE WORSHIP OF OUR GOD; FOR HE CREATED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US!

Psa 100:3-4, Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. ENTER INTO HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING, AND INTO HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE. BE THANKFUL TO HIM, AND BLESS HIS NAME.

Psa 81:6-7, “I REMOVED HIS SHOULDER FROM THE BURDEN; HIS HANDS WERE FREED FROM THE BASKETS.  YOU CALLED IN TROUBLE, AND I DELIVERED YOU; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah 

Israel was a slave in Egypt, Their bondage was hard! Israel called upon the LORD for help!

Exo 2:23, …Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. 

We, as well, were slaves to sin; we needed to fulfill our lust, drugs, partying etc.! But the LORD opened our eyes and set us free!

Joh 8:36, THEREFORE IF THE SON MAKES YOU FREE, YOU SHALL BE FREE INDEED. 

After some 400 years of cruel bondage in Egypt Israel started calling on the LORD for help! SOME PEOPLE MUST HIT BOTTOM BEFORE THEY ARE ABLE TO LOOK UP FOR HELP!  HUMBLE YOURSELF AND CALL UPON GOD FOR HE IS ALWAYS THERE, AND KNOWS WHAT’S HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE!

Mat 11:28, COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.

Psalm 68, Self Existing ONE!

Psa 68:4, Sing to God, sing praises to His name; EXTOL HIM WHO RIDES ON THE CLOUDS, BY HIS NAME YAH, And rejoice before Him. 

JESUS was taken by a cloud, Act 1:9, And it is HE who rode a cloud in Dan 7:13!

Dan 7:13, “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN, COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him.

JESUS is GOD the SON who rode a cloud to GOD the FATHER! BOTH ARE ONE

Joh 10:30, I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.” 

HIS name YAH abbreviation of יהוה, JEHOVAH, means “SELF -EXISTENCE”; JESUS said “I AM”. HE JUST IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE ETERNAL ONE WHO INHABITS ETERNITY!

Joh 8:58, Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” 

Psa 68:5-6, A FATHER OF THE FATHERLESS, A DEFENDER OF WIDOWS, Is God in His holy habitation. GOD SETS THE SOLITARY IN FAMILIES; HE BRINGS OUT THOSE WHO ARE BOUND INTO PROSPERITY; …. 

The LORD GOD is our loving FATHER, who defends the widows, a father to the fatherless! HE gives the lonely a family and HE breaks the chains of those bound in sin!

Psa 68:32-33, Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; Oh, sing praises to the Lord, Selah TO HIM WHO RIDES ON THE HEAVEN OF HEAVENS, which were of old! Indeed, He sends out His voice, a mighty voice.

Once you know who HE is you will praise HIM, because HE is worthy to be praised! HE is the KING of kings, the LORD of lords who makes a cloud into HIS Chariot!

Psa 104:3b, .. WHO MAKES THE CLOUDS HIS CHARIOT, WHO WALKS ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND, 

TRUST IN HIM, THE SELF-EXITING ONE, FOR HE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE LORD!

Psalm 33, HE is worthy to be praised!

Psa 33:1-3, Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! FOR PRAISE FROM THE UPRIGHT IS BEAUTIFUL. Praise the LORD with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

I’ve been in many worship services where the praise for HIM overwhelmed me! Can you imagine worship in heaven? Wow!

Rev 19:6-7, AND I HEARD, as it were, THE VOICE OF A GREAT MULTITUDE, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “ALLELUIA! FOR THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT REIGNS! LET US BE GLAD AND REJOICE AND GIVE HIM GLORY, FOR THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB HAS COME, AND HIS WIFE HAS MADE HERSELF READY.”

Psa 33:6, 8-9, BY THE WORD OF THE LORD THE HEAVENS WERE MADE, AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM BY THE BREATH OF HIS MOUTH…LET ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD STAND IN AWE OF HIM. FOR HE SPOKE, AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED, AND IT STOOD FAST.

By just HIS word, the breath of HIS mouth HE created everything! WHO IS LIKE OUR GOD? HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRIASED!

Isa 46:9, … FOR I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER; I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME, 

Rev 4:11, “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.” 

One day we will stand before the KING and we will be surprised when we see HIM! FOR I BELIEVE THAT HE WILL STILL HAVE THE SCARS AND THE MARKS THAT WE GAVE HIM, BECAUSE OF OUR SINS!

Rev 5:6, AND I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD, IN THE MIDST OF THE THRONE and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, STOOD A LAMB AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN SLAIN,…

ALWAYS REMEMBER, IT WASN’T THE NAILS THAT HELD HIM ON THE CROSS; IT WAS HIS LOVE FOR YOU”!  GIVE HIM PRAISE YOU HIS PEOPLE FOR HE IS WORTHY!

Psalm 29, Exalt the LORD!

Psa 29:1-2, …GIVE UNTO THE LORD, O YOU MIGHTY ONES, GIVE UNTO THE LORD GLORY AND STRENGTH. GIVE UNTO THE LORD THE GLORY DUE TO HIS NAME; WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS.

This is an awesome psalm of praise to the LORD! HONOR THE LORD FOR HIS GLORY AND STRENGTH! HONOR THE LORD FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

Rev 4:11, “YOU ARE WORTHY, O LORD OUR GOD, TO RECEIVE GLORY AND HONOR AND POWER. FOR YOU CREATED ALL THINGS, AND THEY EXIST BECAUSE YOU CREATED WHAT YOU PLEASED.” 

For everything we see around us give HIM praise! GIVE HIM PRAISE FOR YOUR FAMILY, FOR YOUR HEALTH, FOR YOUR JOB! GIVE HIM PRAISE FOR THE TRIALS THAT HE HELPED YOU GET OUT OF! FOR THE AIR YOU BREATH AND THE FOOD YOU EAT! GIVE HIM PRIASE!

Psa 29:3, The voice of the LORD is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The LORD is over many waters. 

The voice of the LORD is powerful controlling the wind and the seas! HIS voice is as thunder!

Mat 8:26-27, Jesus responded, “WHY ARE YOU AFRAID? YOU HAVE SO LITTLE FAITH!” THEN HE GOT UP AND REBUKED THE WIND AND WAVES, AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS A GREAT CALM. The disciples were amazed. “WHO IS THIS MAN?” THEY ASKED. “EVEN THE WINDS AND WAVES OBEY HIM!”

HE IS THE KING OF GLORY, THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING! WHEN STORMS ARISE IN OUR LIVES GIVE HIM GLORY; FOR HE IS ABLE TO CALM ANY STORM WITH JUST HIS VOICE!

Psa 29:4, 9, The VOICE of the LORD is POWERFUL; THE VOICE OF THE LORD IS FULL OF MAJESTY…. THE VOICE OF THE LORD MAKES THE DEER GIVE BIRTH, AND STRIPS THE FORESTS BARE; AND IN HIS TEMPLE EVERYONE SAYS, “GLORY!” 

This is our GOD! HIS VOICE DIVIDES THE FLAMES OF FIRE, SHAKES THE WILDERNESS, AND LIKE A NUCLEAR BOMB STRIPS THE FORESTS BARE! YET HE IS ALSO THERE HELPING THE DEER GIVE BIRTH!

MAKE TIME TODAY TO GIVE HIM THE GLORY DUE HIS NAME! NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING JUST GLORIFY AND EXALT HIS NAME!

2Chronicles 5, the presence of GOD!

2Ch 5:1, So all the work that Solomon had done for the house of the LORD was finished..

1Ki 6:37-38, In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid… And in the eleventh year, … the house was finished in all its details and according to all its plans. SO HE WAS SEVEN YEARS IN BUILDING IT.

Seven is the number of completeness or perfection for GOD rested on the Seventh day!

Gen 2:3, Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. 

2Ch 5:13  INDEED IT CAME TO PASS, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and WHEN THEY LIFTED UP THEIR VOICE WITH THE TRUMPETS AND CYMBALS AND INSTRUMENTS OF MUSIC, AND PRAISED THE LORD, saying: “FOR HE IS GOOD, FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER,” THAT THE HOUSE, THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, WAS FILLED WITH A CLOUD, 

THE PEOPLE WERE PRAISING THEIR GOD AND THE LORD SHOWED UP FILLING THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD!

Psa 150:6, Let everything that has breath PRAISE THE LORD. PRAISE THE LORD! 

2Ch 5:14, … FOR THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED THE HOUSE OF GOD.

THIS IS THE SKEKINAH GLORY OF GOD IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS PEOPLE! HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRIASED; FOR HE IS HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE STILL CAN BE FOUND! TIME IS SHORT!

1Chronicles 25, Worship HIM in Spirit!

1Ch 25:1, Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service some of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, WHO SHOULD PROPHESY WITH HARPS, STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, AND CYMBALS…

It’s not just playing musical instruments, but it’s a gift of GOD!

1Ch 25: 5, … THE SONS OF HEMAN THE KING’S SEER IN THE WORDS OF GOD, TO EXALT HIS HORN. FOR GOD GAVE HEMAN FOURTEEN SONS AND THREE DAUGHTERS.

The sons of Heman were dedicated to worshiping the LORD.  God bless Heman with children to praise HIM in HIS Holy Temple!

Psa 127:3, Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward. 

Joh 4:23-24, But the hour is coming, and now is, WHEN THE TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH; FOR THE FATHER IS SEEKING SUCH TO WORSHIP HIM. GOD IS SPIRIT, AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH.” 

It’s an honor to worship the LORD, but so many worship HIM in the flesh; which is just singing and has nothing to do with worship! Worship HIM knowing that HE is there, Worship HIM for HE is worthy to be praised! HE inhabits the worship of HIS people!

Psa 22:3, But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
