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 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!

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.
