Praising the Lord for His Abundant Greatness (3)

Psalm 145:10-13 NIV

We can never give the Lord too much praise for great is the Lord, and He is most worthy of praise. After praising God for His enduring character (vv.8-9), the psalmist prophesied that everything the Lord created will praise Him, and His faithful followers will joyfully sing praise and celebrate Him (v.10). Ps.150:6 NLT says: “Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord!” Giving the Lord praise for His abundant greatness and acts of mercy is not just a passing afterthought. It is the responsibility of every living thing to honor their creator.  

The psalmist addressed the Lord: “They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might (v.11) so that all people may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom” (v.12). As the crown jewel of creation, His faithful followers have the duty of witnessing to others, telling them all about the goodness of the Lord – His power, love, mercy, righteousness, salvation, and more. 

“Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises
and faithful in all he does” (v.13). The psalmist said that there was no end to God’s kingdom, and His dominion endures from generation to generation. How blessed believers are to know the Lord! They can trust that whatever He says, He will fulfill it for He is a promise keeper. Also, there is no need to doubt Him; they have the assurance that He is faithful in all he does. 

Lift your voice and shout, “Glory!”
