This morning, I want to begin a series in the book of Psalms by asking you a peculiar question: "Why are we so tired all the time?" I’m tired of this pandemic!

This thanksgiving psalm, which is specifically identified as a song, includes aspects of both corporate and individual praise. It begins with a call for all the earth to praise and worship God (vv. 1–4), and the psalmist celebrates God’s works—specifically, the Red Sea crossing (vv. 5–7; Exod 14). The corporate call to praise continues as the psalmist describes God’s deliverance and protection (Ps 66:8–12). He then moves to individual thanksgiving, declaring his intention to fulfill his vows and perform sacrifices (vv. 13–15). The psalmist invites others to listen to his personal testimony of God’s deliverance and protection (vv. 16–19) and concludes by thanking God for His steadfast love (v. 20).
