Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: ... Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 150:1-6.

The Psalmist writes, “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” [Psalm 147:3.] Though He is the restorer of fallen humanity, yet “he telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord and of great power: his understanding is infinite. The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God ... The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Zion.” How precious are the lessons of this Psalm. We might well devote study to the last four Psalms of David.

We looked above, then beneath, and were led to exclaim, “How wonderful are all Thy works, Lord God Almighty!” Surely this is the work of the great Master Artist. We feel our littleness, our nothingness, in the presence of such manifestations of the great God. I called to mind the words of the psalmist when he calls upon everything that hath breath to praise the Lord, upon animate and inanimate creation to join in one chorus of praise and thanksgiving to God. [Psalm 150:6; 148.] His thus calling upon senseless, unreasoning things is the most powerful rebuke to those blessed with intelligence, if their souls do not glow and their lips do not proclaim the majesty and glory of God.

“Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; let the children of Zion be joyful in their king. Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud upon their beds.” [Psalm 149:1-5.] “Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God.” [Psalm 147:7.] “Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.” [Psalm 150:6.]

Not only by our words, but in our countenances we should show forth the joy of the Lord. The message of the Lord’s saving grace is to be made known. Educate your lips to praise God in the family circle. Teach your children to offer praise and thanksgiving to God. “Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.” [Psalm 150:6.]
