Live Out Loud - Ps. 150

"Praise God in his heavenly dwellng; praise him in his mighty heaven! Praise him for his mighty works; Praise him with the... blast of the trumpet... lyre and harp... tambourine and dancing... clash of cymbals... loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that lives sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord! Ps. 150

This psalm effectively does away with any thought that worship and praise should be done quietly and solemnly. Praising God is described as rejoicing and celebration--this is a party! And doesn't that make sense? He is the God of the universe who has redeemed us! This is cause for shouts of praise and dancing in the streets! Consider what he did and who he is and give him praise--REAL praise!!

I praise your name my Lord and my God!
