God’s people should be caught up with praising Him.
Psalm 150 gives us the where, why, how, and who of praise.
When we’re talking about praising God we are not talking about repeating “Praise the Lord” over and over.
We are talking about thinking and/or speaking well of God’s perfect attributes or great acts.
God’s people should be caught up with praising Him.
Praise can be expressed through singing and music (including clapping, dancing, lifting our hands, kneeling, lying prostrate, etc.), through testimony and thanksgiving, prayer, sacrificial service, and giving.
If we want praise to characterize our lives, the psalmist would have us understand ...
THE PERSON OF WORSHIP
HALLELUJAH
It’s two words in Hebrew: halal, which means to praise or boast; and Yaw, – a shortened form of Jehovah – which is the proper name of the one true God.
Joined together.
The translation is “HALLELUJAH” or “PRAISE THE LORD.”“
HALLELUJAH
Hallelujah is a plural imperative which if translated into the Southern vernacular would sound like this “Y’all praise the Lord!”
It is a summons not primarily to the individual reader or hearer, but to a whole community.
Indeed, it is a summons to “everything that has breath” (150:6): Praise the Lord!
HALLELUJAH
It is a command from the Lord himself saying, “You there!
Yes, you!
Grab an instrument, open your mouth, and get going!
Praise the Lord!
I mean it!
Move! Sing! Dance!
Now!
THE PERSON OF WORSHIP
Yahweh is the covenant name of the Lord.
It reminds us that He loves us and has covenanted to save us, keep us, care for us, and eventually glorify us, because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
The new covenant was not sealed by the blood of animal sacrifices but by the precious blood of Christ.
Worship is not about the worshiper or their needs; it is about God’s.
THE PERSON OF WORSHIP
We are commanded to praise God thirteen times in six short verses.
In fact, the command to praise God begins every line of this psalm, except verse 6 which says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
THE PERSON OF WORSHIP
The first Psalm begins with God blessing man and ends with man blessing God.
Psalm 150 is so preoccupied with commands to praise the Lord that there is no place in this psalm that directly mentions the worshipers who receive these commands.
THE PERSON OF WORSHIP
Verses 3-5 record the most detailed list of musical instruments in scripture.
Yet the worshipers who are to play these instruments are not mentioned.
The worshipers are just lumped together in verse 6 with every other living thing God has created.
THE PERSON OF WORSHIP
This repeated emphasis on God as the Subject and Object of worship, and the total absence of any reference to any human being or earthy group, is divinely intended to confront us with the most essential principle of worship: God is the centerpiece of true worship.
THE PLACE OF WORSHIP - EVERYWHERE
Verse 1 say:
THE PLACE OF WORSHIP
Sanctuary denotes apartness, holiness, or sacredness, refers to the holy presence of God that dwelt in the meeting place.
THE PLACE OF WORSHIP
The Jews viewed the temple as the earthly place of communion with God – his sanctuary.
So, the psalm commands that God be worshiped in his sanctuary.
But he also commands us to worship God in his mighty heavens.
THE PLACE OF WORSHIP
These two poetic phrases teach us that God is to be worshiped in all of his creation.
Literally, God is to be praised everywhere.
There is no place where worship is out of place.
Wherever you are, praise the Lord.
If God’s glory fills the universe, and it does, then His praise must do no less.
THE PURPOSE OF WORSHIP
After he tells them who and where to worship in verse 1 he tells them why they should worship in verse 2.
THE PURPOSE OF WORSHIP
This verse reminds us that the fundamental, primary, and overall reason why we worship God is because God is worthy of our worship.
If we were never commanded to praise the Lord, we would still be morally obligated to do it, because God deserves our praise.
PRAISE HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE.
The A part of the verse says praise Him for His mighty deeds.
The mighty acts of God that surround us call on us to give genuine and grateful praise to God.
PRAISE FOR WHO HE IS.
The b part of verse 2 says: Praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Excellent greatness refers to the nature, person, and character of God.
God deserves to be praised just because of who he is.
GOD’S GREATNESS IS UNSEARCHABLE
The Bible says that God's greatness is too wonderful for man's heart.
