Praise God in his sanctuary;
Praise him in the majesty of his firmament.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts;
Praise him according to the multitude of his greatness.
3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise him with the psaltery and the harp.
4 Praise him with tambourine and dance;
Praise him with strings and flutes.
5 Praise him with cymbals;
Praise him with cymbals of rejoicing.
6 Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD.
Alleluia. Psalms 150 Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)
In summary, praise is the most powerful instrument the church possesses to exalt and glorify the name of God.
The Lord's command is to give Him praise in His sanctuary in the midst of the gathering of all the saints.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
Praise him in the magnificence of his firmament. Psalm 150:1
When Christian people gather together, their primary purpose is to praise him who sits on the throne. Praise is like pleasant incense ascending to the presence of God. On the heavenly throne are the angelic beings worshiping the Lord and continually crying out: "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, and the whole earth is full of his glory!
The praise of the Lord's church joins the heavenly praise and the glory of God fills the whole place where the Lord's saints are gathered on earth. God's glory brings healing, strength and wonders on earth.
There are several reasons why we have to praise God, among them, his greatness and power by which he made all things and all creation.
Praise him for his deeds;
Praise him for the multitude of his greatness. Psalm 150:2
God's mighty acts reflect his greatness in the heavens and in the armies of the heavens. God's mighty acts are manifested in the seas as well as on earth. God's great power made possible everything that moves in the oceans, which includes all living things in the seas. The earth is full of God's glory. All the grandeur of the earth reflects the majesty of God's intelligence and wisdom. Everything created by God in the heavens, the seas and the earth is called to praise God in his sanctuary and firmament.
Everything created by God or every living being, God's special calling is to be praised. We, human beings, are called to praise God with different musical instruments and to rejoice with much dancing in the presence of our God.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with tambourine and dance;
Praise him with strings and flutes.
5 Praise him with cymbals and cymbals.
Praise him with joyful cymbals. Psalm 150: 3-5
Praise is very pleasing to God and the Lord enjoys the praise given to him by his people and all that he has created.
The universe is called to praise God in the midst of his sanctuary. Everything that breathes in the universe must praise God. God alone is worthy to receive praise and worship. Let all creation praise God.
Let everything that breathes praise JAH.
Alleluia. Psalm 150:6
