"Praise the Lord!" This is how each of the remaining psalms begins and ends! So I guess it's safe to assume that these psalms are all about praising the Lord.
What does Psalm 146 tell us about praising God?
- It should be a part of our lives as long as we live. v. 1, 2
- We can put our trust in the God whom we praise, rather than in men who are fallible. v. 3,4
- We will be happy when we praise the Lord and put our hope in Him. v. 5
- He is worthy of our praise. He is the creator of heaven and earth. v. 6
- He is compassionate, and we can praise Him no matter what our circumstances. He "keeps truth forever...executes justice for the oppressed...gives food to the hungry...gives freedom to the prisoners." He "opens the eyes of the blind...raises those who are bowed down...loves the righteous...watches over strangers...relieves the fatherless and widows." v. 6-9
