The Psalms invite us to reflect on the Lord’s power, on His mercy, and on the great things He has done

Psalms 102–103; 110; 116–119; 127–128; 135–139; 146–150
“𝙻𝚎𝚝 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙷𝚊𝚝𝚑 𝙱𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚑 𝙿𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚜𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙻𝚘𝚛𝚍”

The traditional Jewish name for the book of Psalms is a Hebrew word that means “praises.”

That word, Tehillim, is also related to the exclamation “hallelujah” (meaning “praise Jehovah” or “praise the Lord”).

If you had to choose one word to sum up the main message of the Psalms, “praise” would be a good choice. Some of the Psalms contain the direct invitation to “praise ye the Lord” (see especially Psalms 146–50), and all of them can inspire a feeling of worship and praise.

The Psalms invite us to reflect on the Lord’s power, on His mercy, and on the great things He has done. We can never repay Him for any of this, but we can praise Him for it.

That praise may take different forms for different people—it may involve singing, praying, or bearing testimony. It often leads to a deeper commitment to the Lord and to following His teachings.

Whatever “praise ye the Lord” means in your life, you can find more inspiration to do it as you read and ponder the Psalms.
