1 Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Praise Him in…
Praise Him for…
Praise Him with…

Praise is not optional if I love Jesus – but it is responsive.  It flows from a heart that is fully grateful for who God is and what He does. I am being strongly encouraged by the writer to praise God in His house and out; for His mighty works and His unmatched greatness; and then to add music and dancing!! I love the final line – “let everything that has breath praise God.” Now all that’s missing is my praise!!

Mighty God – how amazing You are – overflowing with  love and kindness, great in power and yet your mercies are new everyday. You are unfailing, unchanging and ever present. You are worthy of praise!
