Psalms 105:1
Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done.
make known among the nations what he has done.
Bruce P. from Surprise, AZ said:
This is it! We proclaim God and tell people what He has done for me! The simplest testimony I have every read in the Bible still holds true today. He replied, "I do not know whether he is a sinner. I do know one thing--that although I was blind, now I can see." Each person that comes to Christ is a miracle. Every single testimony is different and God can use them to His glory. Just like what the blind man shared to them that asked, So we are to share with others what God has done for us!

that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Yes Lord, In the morning give me a full measure of your loyal love, that I may sing praises of joy and rejoice through the rest of eternity. The Lord's portions to us do not only supply us enough for a day, but for an eternity. His mercies endure forever.

Psalms 89:35
Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—
and I will not lie to David—
and I will not lie to David—
Bruce P. from Surprise, AZ said:
God keeps His promises. Why? Because he is Holy. He made promises to David and God will keep them. I like that. For this is the will of my Father – for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. God says it... IT WILL HAPPEN!

Psalms 88:1
Lord, you are the God who saves me;
day and night I cry out to you.
day and night I cry out to you.
Bruce P. from Surprise, AZ said:
I really love this verse. The more I meditate on it I see the connection between me and my God. First of all, I see our relationship. He is LORD, this is the name Jehovah His formal name not Adonai. He is MY LORD, I have given Him Lordship over me. What did He give me? Salvation.

Psalms 87:1
He has founded his city on the holy mountain.
Bruce P. from Surprise, AZ said:
God founded a city on a mountain. This city has been made great. The pride of being born in its gates is evident and songs are to be sung about it. It has many names among them the city of Zion, The city of God, the city of David, the city of peace, Jerusalem. But, the most important city of Zion is the one where Jesus is the cornerstone. “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in Him will never be put to shame” (1 Peter 2:6).

Psalms 95:2
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
and extol him with music and song.
Bruce P. from Surprise, AZ said:
There is nothing I do not have that God has not given to me. "every good thing comes from above." I am guilty of not thanking God for the good in my life, the meals on my plate, my health, the roof over my head and the clothes on my back. We tend to go to the Father when we need something. I must remember to go before Him with music and song, to praise Him for who He is and what He has done. To sing a new song of worship that He may receive glory.

Psalms 86:12
I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
I will glorify your name forever.
Bruce P. from Surprise, AZ said:
It is good to know that I will praise my Lord forever. That I will bring glory to my God forever more. To fathom what the rest of eternity is brings my mind to a boil. The heart that my Lord gave me will praise Him and only Him forever. He has turned my heart of stone to a heart of flesh, one that can love Him.

Psalms 83:18
Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord —
that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

The Lord is the same today as He was back then. He is the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. He protects His people and destroys their enemies, He will make known that He alone is the Most High God over every living creature on the earth.

Psalms 77:19
Your path led through the sea,
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
Bruce P. from Surprise, AZ said:
God leads our path, even if we don't see the evidence of His presence.
On Psalms 127:3 by Elena G.
“Children are a blessing sent from above. I have been blessed with five…”
