Psalm 150
In 1719, Isaac Watts wrote these hymn lyrics:
I’ll praise my Maker while I’ve breath;
And when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my nobler powers.
My days of praise shall ne’er be past,
While life, and thought, and being last
Or immortality endures.
You might say we were born to offer praise to God! Twelve times in the six verses of this Sunday’s Psalm 150 we are commanded to “Praise the Lord.” Psalms 146-150, sometimes called the Hallelujah Psalms, all begin and end with the call to “Praise the Lord.”
