1 Praise the LORD. [a]
How good it is to sing praises to our God,
how pleasant and fitting to praise him!
2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers the exiles of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
4 He determines the number of the stars
and calls them each by name.
5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.
6 The LORD sustains the humble
but casts the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;
make music to our God on the harp.
8 He covers the sky with clouds;
he supplies the earth with rain
and makes grass grow on the hills.
9 He provides food for the cattle
and for the young ravens when they call.
10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,
nor his delight in the legs of a man;
11 the LORD delights in those who fear him,
who put their hope in his unfailing love.
12 Extol the LORD, O Jerusalem;
praise your God, O Zion,
13 for he strengthens the bars of your gates
and blesses your people within you.
14 He grants peace to your borders
and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.
15 He sends his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.
16 He spreads the snow like wool
and scatters the frost like ashes.
17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can withstand his icy blast?
18 He sends his word and melts them;
he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.
19 He has revealed his word to Jacob,
his laws and decrees to Israel.
20 He has done this for no other nation;
they do not know his laws.
Praise the LORD.
Chin Ling: I will praise you because it is enough! Whatever that is mentioned in this psalm is enough for me to praise you all my lifetime! Lord I claim them, and I praise you for them in thanksgiving for the past, the present and the future! THANK YOu!
Eunice: I realised tht singing with the harp has been repeating these few days.. since the beginning of the psalms when they keep appearing. Lord, am I singing not enough? Ytd Pastor Eugene shared many good quotes. One of which he ended his msg with [ If Christians praise God more, the world would doubt him less ] . With this two things together, this comes as a reminder, to sing more of God love, not only to ourselves, and as a self acknowledgement, but to SHOUT OUT His goodness and that he is faithful. Make a joyful noise, instead of complaining... PRaise Him Prasie Him Praise Him in everything.
Crow: Dear Lord, help me to put my hope in your unfailing love...

Pam: Woah! Wat a psalm to start the week! Haha.. wat a way to start mine esp. now I am officially unemployed... hahah.... God is one who remembers (v4) n one who is a provider... I love YOU!!!
DEllia: As I read the psalm, I can only ask of one thing....Lord, do You take delight in me? I want the Lord to take delight in me. As I go thru this month, there are many thoughts and emotions welling inside of me, but as I read this psalm, I'm reminded that I only have to please the Lord and Lord alone. That though all else fails, God will still be with me.
