By: Bill Bratt
(Psalms 145:2 NKJV) "Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever."

How Do the Psalms Bring God Praise?
The word Psalm is simply a translation of the Hebrew word meaning, ‘song’. Many songs have been written based on the Psalms, and the music and melody of the words themselves draw us toward God and the beauty of his creation. The Psalms remind us of his deep love for us (Psalm 36:5) and his glorious majesty that existed before time and will continue forever (Psalm 102:12).
(Psalms 36:5 NKJV) "Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds."
(Psalms 102:12 NKJV) "But You, O LORD, shall endure forever, And the remembrance of Your name to all generations."
Thank God for Past Blessings!
(Deuteronomy 7:9 NKJV) "Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments."
Thank God for Present Blessings!
(Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV) "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. {23} They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness."
Thank God for Future Blessings!
(1 Peter 1:3-4 NKJV) "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, {4} to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you."
(James 1:17 NKJV) "Every good gift and every perfect
gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is
no variation or shadow of turning."
You can not praise God from the grave!
(Psalms 6:5 NKJV) "For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks?"
(Psalms 6:5 NLT) "For in death, who remembers you? Who can praise you from the grave?"
(Psalms 30:9 NLT) "What will you gain if I die, if I
sink down into the grave? Can my dust praise you from the grave? Can it tell the
world of your faithfulness?"
