While only Psalms 111-113 start out with the famous exclamation, "Praise the Lord!" The theme on all four psalms is quite clearly praise. Each one takes to a different view, a new angle for which we should praise God. It feels much like looking into a journal, and seeing someone recording their thoughts of devotions about why do we praise God.
The writer in Psalm 111 praises God for His mighty works, for being righteous and just. Verse 7 says, "The works of His hands are truth and justice;all His precepts are sure." (NASB) This psalm begins a praise of God's justice that continues into the next.
Psalm 112, praises God for His grace, and how He gives it with compassion. Verse 9 says, "He has given freely to the poor, His righteousness endures forever; His horn will b exalted in honor." (NASB).
Psalm 113 praises God for His greatness, that is, how much more grand and wonderful He is compared to creation. He is above all things and He gives joy to the downcast.
Psalm 114 recalls the Exodus, how God led them out through miracles in nature.
Why do you praise God? What about Him makes your heart leap for joy? The writer in these psalms took his time to contemplate God and wrote out, as best He could, the reasons for his adoration and the feelings of his worship.
Take time yourself, to think about God, write it down in a list. What amazes you about God? Why do you praise Him, why should you praise Him more?
Pray on everyone
