I will wholeheartedly give thanks to Adonai
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
2 The deeds of Adonai are great,
greatly desired by all who enjoy them.
3 His work is full of majesty and splendor,
and his righteousness continues forever.
4 He has gained renown for his wonders.
Adonai is merciful and compassionate.
5 He gives food to those who fear him.
He remembers his covenant forever.
6 He shows his people how powerfully he works
by giving them the nations as their heritage.
7 The works of his hands are truth and justice;
all his precepts can be trusted.
8 They have been established forever and ever,
to be carried out truly and honestly.
9 He sent redemption to his people
and decreed that his covenant should last forever.
His name is holy and fearsome —
10 the first and foremost point of wisdom is the fear of Adonai;
all those living by it gain good common sense.
His praise stands forever.
Psalm 150:1 Halleluyah!
Praise God in his holy place!
Praise him in the heavenly dome of his power!
2 Praise him for his mighty deeds!
Praise him for his surpassing greatness!
3 Praise him with a blast on the shofar!
Praise him with lute and lyre!
4 Praise him with tambourines and dancing!
Praise him with flutes and strings!
5 Praise him with clanging cymbals!
Praise him with loud crashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise Adonai!
Halleluyah!
RG AUDIO 041815"Give Praise To The Lord" by Author: Larry R. Morris
We sat around a camp fire high in the Rocky Mountains as the sun set and the sky darkened. The crackling of the fire and the whisper of the wind through the surrounding pine trees was all we could hear. Each passing minute more and more stars peeked through the darkening sky canopy until it was ablaze with millions of lights.
A few hours before we had been in the middle of a city where on the best of nights only a fraction of the stars were visible. Now, far away from the artificial lights of the city, we were confronted by the immensity of God’s deeds through creation and awed by their glory and majesty.
We live in a world of artificial light and incessant noise. When we are taken beyond their reign we begin to see the majesty of God’s creation. As Christians we realize that that same God is also our personal Savior and friend. An appropriate response is to give thanks through praise. How long has it been since you recalled all of God’s works and bowed in praise? Today is a good day to begin again.
Hymn for Today: "Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!" by Author: Fanny Crosby (1869)
1. Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Sing, O earth, His wonderful love proclaim!
Hail Him! Hail Him! highest archangels in glory,
Strength and honor give to His holy name!
Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children;
In His arms He carries them all day long.
Chorus:
Praise Him! praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness!
Praise Him! praise Him! Ever in joyful song!
2. Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
For our sins He suffered and bled and died;
He our Rock, our hope of eternal salvation,
Hail Him! hail Him! Jesus the crucified.
Sound His praises! Jesus who bore our sorrows,
Love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong!
Chorus:
Praise Him! praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness!
Praise Him! praise Him! Ever in joyful song!
3. Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Heavenly portals loud with hosannas ring!
Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever;
Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet and Priest and King!
Christ is coming, over the world victorious;
Power and glory unto the Lord belong!
Chorus:
Praise Him! praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness!
Praise Him! praise Him! Ever in joyful song!
