Psalm 150, Praising the LORD

This amazing book of Psalms end with praise! Praising HIM for who HE is and what HE has done! We will never truly understand HIS praise until we stand before HIM in awe!

Psa 150:1-2, Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament! Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

Praising HIM for HIS mighty works, for HE created all things and is worthy to be praised!

Psa 150:3-5, Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

Praise HIM, not only with your voice, but with musical instruments! I can only imagine what a worship service in heaven will be like!

Rev 7:9-12, After these things I looked, and behold, A GREAT MULTITUDE WHICH NO ONE COULD NUMBER, OF ALL NATIONS, TRIBES, PEOPLES, AND TONGUES, STANDING BEFORE THE THRONE AND BEFORE THE LAMB, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and CRYING OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE, saying, “SALVATION BELONGS TO OUR GOD WHO SITS ON THE THRONE, AND TO THE LAMB!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and WORSHIPED GOD, SAYING: “AMEN! BLESSING AND GLORY AND WISDOM, THANKSGIVING AND HONOR AND POWER AND MIGHT, BE TO OUR GOD FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.”

Psa 150:6, Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! 

One day everyone will praise HIM, everyone that hath breath praise HIS HOLY NAME!

Rev 5:13, And EVERY CREATURE WHICH IS IN HEAVEN AND ON THE EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH AND SUCH AS ARE IN THE SEA, AND ALL THAT ARE IN THEM, I heard saying: “BLESSING AND HONOR AND GLORY AND POWER BE TO HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE, AND TO THE LAMB, FOREVER AND EVER!” 

And the book of Psalms ends with a crescendo of praise to our LORD and GOD! In this world we have trials, but the day is coming when we will stand before the living GOD Praising HIM forever! No more death, no need for hospitals and HE shall wipe away every tear from our eyes! Praise HIM all HIS people!

Rev 21:4, And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Psalm 149, Praising GOD our maker!

Psa 149:1, Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints. 

In most of the book of psalms there are trials, evils, crisis, and mourning’s brought to the LORD, but the last 5 Psalms it’s about praising GOD! Like in life, for those that love the LORD, we have our trials, but at the end we will end up praising GOD for all that HE has done!

Rev 21:4, AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES; THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH, NOR SORROW, NOR CRYING. THERE SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN, FOR THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY.” 

Psa 149:4, FOR THE LORD TAKES PLEASURE IN HIS PEOPLE; HE WILL BEAUTIFY THE HUMBLE WITH SALVATION. 

Salvation only comes from the LORD, and HE shall beautify HIS Bride, the church, with salvation and righteousness!

Isa 61:10, I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; FOR HE HAS CLOTHED ME WITH THE GARMENTS OF SALVATION, HE HAS COVERED ME WITH THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 

Psa 149:5-6, LET THE SAINTS BE JOYFUL IN GLORY; LET THEM SING ALOUD ON THEIR BEDS. LET THE HIGH PRAISES OF GOD BE IN THEIR MOUTH, AND A TWO-EDGED SWORD IN THEIR HAND,

Wow, this is one of those verses that I will never forget! January 12th, 2018 my manager walked into my office and said, “I have to let you go”! When I got home, I grabbed my bible, and laid in bed praising GOD for all that HE has done! I just opened the bible and it opened to this Psalm! Psalm 149:5-6! I realized that was a picture of me! Lying in bed, praising GOD, with a two-edged sword in my hands; the bible!

Hebrews 4:12, For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Praise GOD for HIS faithfulness! Praise HIM for HIS goodness; for nothing and no one escapes HIS sights!

Psalm 148, all of creation worship the LORD!

Psa 148:1-4, Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, ALL HIS ANGELS; Praise Him, ALL HIS HOSTS! PRAISE HIM, SUN AND MOON; PRAISE HIM, ALL YOU STARS OF LIGHT! PRAISE HIM, YOU HEAVENS OF HEAVENS, AND YOU WATERS ABOVE THE HEAVENS!

If we look at the sun the moon, the stars and all the host of heaven they cry the glory of GOD who created them!

Psa 19:1-3, …The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.

Psa 148:7-8, Praise the LORD from the earth, You great sea creatures and all the depths; FIRE AND HAIL, SNOW AND CLOUDS; STORMY WIND, FULFILLING HIS WORD;

Even the out-of-control fire or hail listens to the LORD! Snow, clouds, the stormy wind all obey HIS word!

Mat 8:26-27, But HE said to them, “WHY ARE YOU FEARFUL, O YOU OF LITTLE FAITH?” Then HE arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, “WHO CAN THIS BE, THAT EVEN THE WINDS AND THE SEA OBEY HIM?”

Psa 148:11-13, Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth; Both young men and maidens; Old men and children. LET THEM PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD, FOR HIS NAME ALONE IS EXALTED; HIS GLORY IS ABOVE THE EARTH AND HEAVEN.

The day is coming and it’s very near when all of creation will bow down to the KING of kings and LORD of lords

Php 2:9-11, Therefore God also has highly exalted HIM and given HIM the name which is above every name, THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, OF THOSE IN HEAVEN, AND OF THOSE ON EARTH, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.

PRAISE THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD, PRAISE THE LORD FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRIASED! CHRIST JESUS IS THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS WHICH INCLUDES YOU AND ME!

Col 1:16, For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Psalm 147, The GOD of Creation!

Psa 147:1, PRAISE THE LORD! FOR IT IS GOOD TO SING PRAISES TO OUR GOD; FOR IT IS PLEASANT, AND PRAISE IS BEAUTIFUL. 

I’ve went to a men’s conference where a thousand men were worshipping the LORD! It was just awesome and beautiful and I felt that the LORD just filled that sanctuary completely!

Joh 4:24, GOD IS SPIRIT, AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH.” 

Psa 147:2, The LORD builds up Jerusalem; HE GATHERS TOGETHER THE OUTCASTS of Israel.

The LORD rejects no one, HE seeks the homeless, he seeks the sinners, the drug addicted, for everyone is precious in HIS eyes!

Psa 147:3, HE HEALS THE BROKENHEARTED AND BINDS UP THEIR WOUNDS.

This was HIS mission to bring to HIMSELF the outcast, the poor, and the brokenhearted!

Luk 4:18, “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR; HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED; 

Psa 147:4-5, HE COUNTS THE NUMBER OF THE STARS; HE CALLS THEM ALL BY NAME. GREAT IS OUR LORD, AND MIGHTY IN POWER; HIS UNDERSTANDING IS INFINITE.

Today, with our current technology it is estimated that there are 1Billion Trillion stars, Yet HE knows them by name, and HE knows you and me! Nothing escapes HIM!

Psa 147:9, HE gives to the beast its food, And to the young ravens that cry.

If HE feeds even the beast of the world and the ravens that cry out, will HE not provide for you also? Remember you were created in HIS image, and knows you by name! HE is faithful!

Mat 6:26, Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. ARE YOU NOT OF MORE VALUE THAN THEY?

Psa 37:25, I have been young, and now am old; YET I HAVE NOT SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, NOR HIS DESCENDANTS BEGGING BREAD. 

Remember praise is beautiful especially for those that know their GOD! HE IS FAITHFUL, AND WORTHY OF OUR PRAISES!

Psalm 146, I shall praised HIM as long as i live!

Psa 146:1-2, PRAISE THE LORD! PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL! WHILE I LIVE I WILL PRAISE THE LORD; I WILL SING PRAISES TO MY GOD WHILE I HAVE MY BEING.

The Psalmist has determined that in his life he will praise the LORD. I truly believe when it’s our turn to see GOD we are going to be awe struck, just simply shocked by HIS HOLINESS!

Isa 6:3-4, And one cried to another and said: “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD OF HOSTS; THE WHOLE EARTH IS FULL OF HIS GLORY!” And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, AND THE HOUSE WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE.

HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

Psa 146:3-4, Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish.  

The Psalmist is not placing his trust on man nor in his riches, because man will fail you, but the LORD will never fail! HE will always do good for that is who HE is!

Psa 145:8-9, THE LORD IS GRACIOUS AND FULL OF COMPASSION, SLOW TO ANGER AND GREAT IN MERCY. THE LORD IS GOOD TO ALL, AND HIS TENDER MERCIES ARE OVER ALL HIS WORKS.

Psa 146:8, THE LORD OPENS THE EYES OF THE BLIND; THE LORD RAISES THOSE WHO ARE BOWED DOWN; THE LORD LOVES THE RIGHTEOUS. 

Can you see JESUS in this verse! HE opened the eyes of the blind, not just physically blind but spiritually blind! And, HE raises those who are bowed down or bent over!

Luk 13:11-13, And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, AND WAS BENT OVER AND COULD IN NO WAY RAISE HERSELF UP. But when JESUS saw her, HE called her to HIM and said to her, “WOMAN, YOU ARE LOOSED FROM YOUR INFIRMITY.” And HE laid HIS hands on her, and IMMEDIATELY SHE WAS MADE STRAIGHT, AND GLORIFIED GOD.

Psa 146:10, The LORD shall reign forever—Your God, O Zion, to all generations. PRAISE THE LORD! 

As the Psalmist said, I WILL PRAISE HIM WHILE I LIVE; for HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED AND HIS KINGDOM IS FOREVER!

Heb 1:8, But to the SON HE says: “YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM.

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 66, Every knee shall bow!

Psa 66:1-2, …MAKE A JOYFUL SHOUT TO GOD, ALL THE EARTH! SING OUT THE HONOR OF HIS NAME; MAKE HIS PRAISE GLORIOUS.

The time is coming Where the whole world will one day be united in HIM and sing praises to HIS name! HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

Psa 66:4, ALL THE EARTH SHALL WORSHIP YOU AND SING PRAISES TO YOU; THEY SHALL SING PRAISES TO YOUR NAME.” Selah

One day everyone shall confess that JESUS is LORD and shall worship HIM!

Php 2:9-11, THEREFORE GOD ALSO HAS HIGHLY EXALTED HIM AND GIVEN HIM THE NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME, THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, OF THOSE IN HEAVEN, AND OF THOSE ON EARTH, AND OF THOSE UNDER THE EARTH, AND THAT EVERY TONGUE SHOULD CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.

BUT we as Christians do it now; for we know JESUS as LORD and savior!

Mal 1:11, For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, MY NAME SHALL BE GREAT AMONG THE GENTILES; In every place incense shall be offered to My name, And a pure offering; FOR MY NAME SHALL BE GREAT AMONG THE NATIONS,” SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. 

Psa 66:6, He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot. There we will rejoice in Him. 

HE parted the red sea and Israel walked on dry land (Exodus 14:21).  HE also parted the Jordan (Joshua 3:14-16)! HE IS NOT A PASSIVE OBSERVER, BUT AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE LIFE OF MEN!

Isa 43:2-3, When you pass through the waters, I WILL BE WITH YOU; And through the rivers, THEY SHALL NOT OVERFLOW YOU. WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE FIRE, YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR SHALL THE FLAME SCORCH YOU. FOR I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, …

THE LORD KNOWS WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH HE WILL BE THERE TO PROTECT YOU AND GUIDE YOU IF YOU ALLOW HIM! HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED FOR HE IS OUR GOD THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH!

Psalm 47, the coming KING!

Psa 47:1-2, …Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! FOR THE LORD MOST HIGH IS AWESOME; HE IS A GREAT KING OVER ALL THE EARTH.

The KJV reads “FOR THE LORD MOST HIS IS TERRIBLE”? HE is awesome in power, and we stand in awe of HIM! HE should be greatly fear, for HE will rule, as KING, with an iron hand!

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 47:3, HE will subdue the peoples under us, And the nations under our feet. 

1Cor 15:24-25, Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, WHEN HE PUTS AN END TO ALL RULE AND ALL AUTHORITY AND POWER. FOR HE MUST REIGN TILL HE HAS PUT ALL ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET.

Psa 47:5, GOD HAS GONE UP WITH A SHOUT, The LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 

The coming KING will go up and sit on the throne of David, and HIS kingdom will have no end!

Luke 1:32-33, HE WILL BE GREAT, and will be called the SON OF THE HIGHEST; AND THE LORD GOD WILL GIVE HIM THE THRONE OF HIS FATHER DAVID. AND HE WILL REIGN OVER THE HOUSE OF JACOB FOREVER, AND OF HIS KINGDOM THERE WILL BE NO END.”

Psa 47:6-8, Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises TO OUR KING, sing praises! FOR GOD IS THE KING OF ALL THE EARTH; Sing praises with understanding. GOD REIGNS OVER THE NATIONS; GOD SITS ON HIS HOLY THRONE.

On that day there will be no republicans or democrats, socialist and communist; FOR HE SHALL PUT AN END TO ALL RULE AND HE SHALL REIGN AS KING!

Zec 14:16, And it shall come to pass that everyone WHO IS LEFT of all the nations which came against Jerusalem SHALL GO UP FROM YEAR TO YEAR TO WORSHIP THE KING, THE LORD OF HOSTS, AND TO KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES. 

I’M A MONARCHIST FOR I HAVE A KING BY THE NAME OF JESUS WHO WILL RULE OVER ALL THE EARTH! SING PRAISES TO HIM, SING PRAISES WITH UNDERSTANDING TO THE KING OF ALL THE WORLD! HE IS NEAR!

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!

1Chronicles 23, Praising the LORD!

1Ch 23:5, four thousand were gatekeepers, and FOUR THOUSAND PRAISED THE LORD WITH MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, “which I made,” said David, “for giving praise.” 

Four Thousand praised the LORD; imagine that worship service! Wow!

Psa 150:6, Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! 

David prepared the building material, Gold, Silver, even musical instruments! 1Ki 10:12

1Ch 23:30-31, to stand EVERY MORNING TO THANK AND PRAISE THE LORD, and LIKEWISE AT EVENING; AND AT EVERY PRESENTATION OF A BURNT OFFERING TO THE LORD ON THE SABBATHS AND ON THE NEW MOONS AND ON THE SET FEASTS…

Psa 92:1-3, … 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, On an instrument of ten strings, On the lute, And on the harp, With harmonious sound.

The LORD is worthy to be praised, morning, noon and night! For he paid a great price for each and every single one of us!

1Pe 3:18, FOR CHRIST ALSO SUFFERED ONCE FOR SINS, THE JUST FOR THE UNJUST, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,  OUR SIN WAS GREAT, YET HIS LOVE FOR US WAS GREATER! PRAISE HIM HIS PEOPLE! PRAISE HIM
