Psalm 8

 Psalm 8

Oh Lord, our fantastic God, You are the best in the world, greatest in the universe.  Even the praise of infants and children is powerful enough to silence the enemy.  And when I look out into space, at the moon and the stars which You made and set in place, I wonder why You would ever even bother to consider me - let alone come to live with me.  You have made men spiritual beings, just marginally lower in the spiritual order than angels, but you have crowned mankind with salvation glory that the angels can only dream about.  You have put mankind in control over everything You have made - sheep and cattle, wild animals, birds and fish - its all under our control.  Oh Lord, our fantastic God - You are the best in the world!

Psalm 138

  Psalm  138 I will praise You with everything Ive got,I will sing Your praises in front of anyone who's looking .

Everyone on earth, even kings shall praise You o Lord when they hear Your Word, yes they too wil be singing of the ways of the Lord, of how great is His glory.  because even though the Lord is high and exalted yes He loves the lowly.  He keeps the proud at a distance.

Psalm 135

   Psalm 135 Praise the Lord.  Praise His name everyone.  All who stand in the house of the Lord and in the outer courts of His temple.  Praise Him because He is good.  SIng praise to Him simply because it is fun to do!  Because He has chosen us - we are His special treasure.  I know that God is fantastic, above all other gods.  He does whatever seems good to Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the deepest parts of the sea and high above the earth's atmosphere.  He makes the lightning in the rainstorms and lets the wind out of its hiding place. He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, both men and animals because He was performing signs and wonders among you Egyptians.  Under Pharoh and Pharoah's followers he defeated many nations and slew mighty kings - Sihon King of the Amorites, Og King of Bashan and all the kingdoms of Canaan and He gave their lands to us for our inheritance Only Your name Lord will last forever.  Your repu...

147

  Psalm 147 It’s a good thing to sing praise to God. Its physically beneficial for you and it sounds beautiful too! This is why we sing : Because through praise God builds up His church. He gathers all those who are on the edges and brings them in. He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds. Let us praise Him because He is the One who can number the stars and calls each one by name. He is great, mighty, powerful and has limitless understanding. The Lord lifts up the humble and casts the wicked down to the ground. So sing to The Lord with thanks in your heart, use instruments to praise the God of the seasons and the weather, the rain and the sun. He makes crops grow and provides food for the animals and birds of the earth. He isn’t impressed by the things that impress us - the size of our cars or the physical prowess of the finely honed athlete. No, He is interested in those who respect and love Him, and in those who depend upon His kindness and mercy. So le...
