Psalm 106 “Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD, or declare his praise?…Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness…Save us, O LORD our God…that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.” ~ Psalm 106:2,6,47 This psalm continues to use…

Psalm 104 “I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD.” ~ Psalm 104:33-34 In verses 1-4 and 31-35 the psalmist rejoices and calls for blessing to be given…
Psalm 103 “Bless the LORD, all his hosts…Bless the LORD, all his works…Bless the LORD, O my soul!” ~ Psalm 103:21-22 This psalm is a very quotable psalm.

Psalm 100 “Know that the LORD, he is God!” ~ Psalm 100:3a Other than Psalm 23, is this not the most well-known and well-loved psalm? I hope that whatever level of familiarity or fondness you have with this psalm does not deaden the power and effect of the truth found within. These 5 verses should…
Psalm 99 “Exalt the LORD our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is he!” ~ Psalm 99:5 All of God’s Word is timeless and fitting. Perhaps this psalm will seem especially fitting considering the times we live in, the climate/culture around us, and even your own personal difficulties that you may be walking through. What…
Psalm 98 “…All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.” ~ Psalm 98:3b A psalm of salvation (v.1-3), musical worship (v.4-8) and ultimate justice (v.9). And this is why we gather as the church. We gather because of, by means of and for the praise of the freedoms we have…
