Psalm 145 may have been sung after a battle, as it is a song of thanksgiving for [[victory]]. All glory is given to the [[Lord]] for His wonderful works, His [[love]], and His providential care for His creatures.
The last five [[Psalms]] have been called the "[[Hallelujah]] [[Psalms]]." The [[Word]] "[[Hallelujah]]" means "praise to the [[Lord]]," and each of these [[Psalms]] begins with the [[Word]] "praise.".
Psalm 146 expresses the fact that [[God]] reigns. Psalm 147 is a call to worship for all creation, with thanksgiving and praise to [[God]]. Psalm 148 is a call for the angels to praise [[God]], that the sun, the moon, and the stars praise [[God]], and even let the heavens shout to our great [[God]]. In Psalm 149 there is a call for saints to praise [[God]]; let them sing with joy and let all Zion rejoice in their King.
Finally, in Psalm 150, there is a call to praise [[God]] with trumpets and harps, and let everything that has breath praise [[God]], because He is supreme and everlasting.
It is a wonderful joy to serve the only true [[God]]. His [[love]] is exceeding above all other loves, because He sent His Son to die for us, His power is above all other powers, because He arose from the dead, thus conquering [[death]], [[hell]], and the grave. He offers forgiveness for [[sin]], and His truth is everlasting, because He cannot lie. His [[Word]] says He is coming again for His own.
As we complete our reading of the Book of [[Psalms]], let each of us dedicate our hearts to praising the [[Lord]] for His wondrous mercies to us, and serve Him as never before.
