Reasons to Praise the Lord
#
Psalm 92:1-15
Introduction
This is a simply Psalm, that much like our last one, is very positive,
and encouraging. Some Psalms can be challenging, this is not one of
those. It is a blessing to those who read it, it is a drink of cool
water to the thirsty soul.
A. Singing! (1) “And to sing praises”
#
1. “It is good”
#
2. Give Thanks unto the LORD
#
3. Praises – Being thankful, appreciative.
#
B. Show and Tell (2)
#
1. Lovingkindness
#
Romans 5:8 “8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Worship
#
Psalm 95
Introduction
This Psalm effectively defines worship on a long term basis. There is
not a Title listed, but it’s author based on a NT passage is David.
Hebrews 4:7 “7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David,
To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear
his voice, harden not your hearts.”

The Plan for Praise
#
Psalm 98
Introduction
As I studied it, and outlined it, everything seemed so familiar, and in glancing back, I was able to see the resemblance of Psalm 95. Clearly it is in the Bible twice, and so apparently God thought we needed it twice. The outline is not the same, as the passage is not the same. There are similarities, but it’s layout is indeed unique.

Proper Praise
#
Psalm 100
Introduction
We have a very well known Psalm. I want to give us some thoughts out of this Psalm. It is a Psalm rightfully titled, a Psalm of Praise. We often think of praise as that of only words. If praise is only words, we end up with empty lip service, and not fully satisfying praise to the Lord.
Isaiah 29:13 - “13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:”

Blessing the LORD
#
Psalm 103:1-5
Introduction
We are drawing to a close of book number 4 of the Psalms. These last few Psalms close with praise to God. Many Psalms are prayers, complaints, and crying to the Lord, these are more about praise God for who He is.
I. God’s Personal Blessings - Reasons for Praise (1-5)
#
• Starts off with a hearty blessing… this is not merely a lip service praise, but a praise with the entirety of his being, even down to his soul!
• A blessed NAME! (1)
◦ Bless his holy name… people profane his name today… but his name is Holy and Blessed!
Isaiah 9:6 — For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Majestic Praise
#
Psalm 104:1-5
Introduction
While our last Psalm was a Praise to the Lord for his Mercy, the entirety of this Psalm is a Praise to the Lord for his Majesty in creation! There are a lot of similarities in style between this Psalm and Psalm 103. They build to a great closing! These are powerful Psalms that are focused primarily on God! What a great focus! I cannot think of a greater place to focus our attention!
• While I was studying, I think I stumbled across a golden nugget in the verse 5:

The Pathway to Victory
#
Psalm 108:1-5
Introduction
I want to end the year on a high note. Being in church is always a blessing! It is not a chore, it is to be prioritized, because it is a blessing. Tonight, we will continue through the Psalms, but tonight’s Psalm gives us a Pathway to Victory.
Charles Spurgeon in his Treasury of David, points out this Psalm is actually pulled from two other Psalms to make one. Psalm 57:7-11 closely mirrors the first 5 verses of Psalm 108. And Psalm 60:5-12 closely mirror the following 6-13 verses of Psalm 108.

Triad of Praise
#
Psalm 113:1-9
Introduction
I’m not really a musician, but I know a little about music. Musical chords are generally made up of three notes that harmonize with each other and go together. They are called a triad. These are Psalms, and therefore songs, so I have entitled the message a “Triad of Praise” Three praises that harmonize with each other and create a good sounding harmony of praise to the Lord.

A Glimpse of God
#
Psalm 115
Introduction
We have a great Psalm before us. It seems to be straightforward. There is a lot of lessons that could be pulled from this Psalm. Each of my points could be fully explored more than we have time for in one evening.
I. A Picture of God
#
A. Glorify God (1)
#
i. Don’t lift up yourself! “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us”
#
- Many people are taught to exalt themself, so others know who they are.
- That flies in the face of God’s Word
ii. God is to be glorified “Unto thy name give glory”
#
iii. For Mercy -

Prescription for Praise
#
Psalm 117:1-2
Introduction
We have a short Psalm before us, but it is not without content. The words may be few, but the content is great. The Psalm may be short, but there is no shortage of content. Praise is certainly prescribed in this Psalm. It is one of the Psalms that ends in the phrase, “Praise ye the LORD” It most definitely was sung as a part of worship. It probably was a Psalm that was sung in the opening of closing of worship, and probably sung regularly. There are three notable things about this Psalm that I want to point out.
