Do you praise the Lord with your hands lifted high? The Psalmist who wrote the 134^th Psalm did. Jehovah will bless you if you praise Him in any manner that you wish. Praise is voluntary and so is the manner of praise.

Our trust should be in God not in other people according to Psalms 146. All humanity returns to the earth we are made from. Only Jehovah is eternal. He is the creator of the universe. His promises endure when others fail you. Praise the Lord.

Praising Yahweh is the focus of Psalm 147. We praise Him for what He has done and what He is doing. Praise does not always involve music, but in this case it does. Peace and provision are two things we can praise Him for. Our ability to have the Lord’s law is by God through the Israelites.

Who is going to praise the Lord in Psalm 148? The angels, heavenly hosts, the sun, moon, stars, the heavens, the waters above the skies, creatures in the seas, animals both wild and domesticated, natural phenomenon, and every human regardless of their age or place in life are commanded to praise our God the creator of everything in the universe. We are reminded that He has a chosen people that should follow His commands. In today’s world, that is Christians.

Singing a new song in Psalm 149 we will praise Yahweh. We should rejoice in the one who made all of us and everything. Praise can involve dancing and music. It also comes from our mouths and hands. Praise will allow Him to solve our problems and rescue us. Praise the Lord. 

Concluding our reading of the Psalms with 150, we praise the Lord in His sanctuary in the heavens, for His power and greatness with music and dancing. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
