Reasons to Praise the Lord #

Psalm 92:1-15

Introduction

This is a simply Psalm, that much like our last one, is very positive, and encouraging. Some Psalms can be challenging, this is not one of those. It is a blessing to those who read it, it is a drink of cool water to the thirsty soul.

Worship #

Psalm 95

Introduction

This Psalm effectively defines worship on a long term basis. There is not a Title listed, but it’s author based on a NT passage is David.

Hebrews 4:7 “7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.”

The Plan for Praise #

Psalm 98

Introduction

As I studied it, and outlined it, everything seemed so familiar, and in glancing back, I was able to see the resemblance of Psalm 95. Clearly it is in the Bible twice, and so apparently God thought we needed it twice. The outline is not the same, as the passage is not the same. There are similarities, but it’s layout is indeed unique.

Proper Praise #

Psalm 100

Introduction

We have a very well known Psalm. I want to give us some thoughts out of this Psalm. It is a Psalm rightfully titled, a Psalm of Praise. We often think of praise as that of only words. If praise is only words, we end up with empty lip service, and not fully satisfying praise to the Lord.

Isaiah 29:13 - “13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:”

Blessing the LORD #

Psalm 103:1-5

Introduction

We are drawing to a close of book number 4 of the Psalms. These last few Psalms close with praise to God. Many Psalms are prayers, complaints, and crying to the Lord, these are more about praise God for who He is.

I. God’s Personal Blessings - Reasons for Praise (1-5) #

• Starts off with a hearty blessing… this is not merely a lip service praise, but a praise with the entirety of his being, even down to his soul!
• A blessed NAME! (1)
    ◦ Bless his holy name… people profane his name today… but his name is Holy and Blessed!

Isaiah 9:6 — For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Majestic Praise #

Psalm 104:1-5

Introduction While our last Psalm was a Praise to the Lord for his Mercy, the entirety of this Psalm is a Praise to the Lord for his Majesty in creation! There are a lot of similarities in style between this Psalm and Psalm 103. They build to a great closing! These are powerful Psalms that are focused primarily on God! What a great focus! I cannot think of a greater place to focus our attention! • While I was studying, I think I stumbled across a golden nugget in the verse 5:
