Psalm 145
Introduction:
A. We have found that our worship is commanded. Psalms 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
B. We have found that our worship must be prepared.
1. The Preparation of Holiness - Psalms 29:2 Give unto the LORD
the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of
holiness. (Worship is preceded by holiness.)
2. The Preparation Of Personal Worship - Psalms 100:4 Enter into
his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name. (Worship is preceded
by thanksgiving.)
C. I want to look tonight the Praise of our worship. In the 148th Psalm,
we find that Praise is Purposed: “I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name forever. Every day will I bless thee; and I
will praise thy name foe ever and ever!” (PRAISE IS A MATTER OF
WILL, NOT EMOTION! Extol means to exalt or to raise up on high.)
D. We find in this Psalm that God is Praised for His greatness.
1. Praise God For His Personal Relationship To The Believer –
vs. 1 “my God”
2. Praise God For His Permanent Relationship To The Believer –
vs. 1-2 – “for ever and ever”
3. Praise God For His Person – vs. 3 – “Great is the Lord”
4. Praise God For His Power – vs. 4 – “thy mighty acts”
5. Praise God For His Purpose – vs. 6 – “thy wondrous works”
6. Praise God For His Providence – vs. 7
