Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!

| 0:00.0 | Good morning my friends and welcome back to the morning mindset. It is time for us |
| 0:07.1 | to get our minds aligned with the truth of God. Today we're looking at Psalm chapter 105 and this is a Psalm of praise no doubt about it. |
| 0:18.0 | David writes so much about God's praise. |
| 0:21.8 | Let me give you a sample here from the first few verses. |
| 0:24.4 | It says, Oh give thanks to the Lord. Call upon his name, make known his deeds |

| 1:47.0 | I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. |
| 1:52.0 | I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise. |
