PSALM 150
Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens!
2 Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his excellent greatness!
3 Praise him with trumpet sound;
praise him with lute and harp!
4 Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe!
5 Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD! – Psalm 150:1-6

PSALM 150 PRAISE GOD ACCORDING TO HIS EXCELLENCE
A poem inspired by this psalm by ILMA
The Lord God Almighty has made the heavens and the earth
He breathed life into this whole world and made them brilliant
Nothing in his creation is mediocre or so-so; he didn’t make junk
Every little or big thing he made fits into his great and grandiose plan
The Lord made humans into his own likeness so he can be pleased
But rebellious Satan thwarted the design of man and made him selfish.
God promised all his chosen ones to be protected and delivered from evil
A great reason for the saints to praise the Lord for being freed from the devil
Praise the Lord according to his magnificent creation and his majesty
There are no other gods who are comparable to our God who is Almighty
Let all the creatures made by God bow down to their Maker
Clap your hands and sing out loud to worship our Savior.

REFLECTION
• Do you think God did an excellent job creating you? Why or why not?
• If God made us in his image, how come some people do not have a good view of themselves?
