The last five Psalms, Psalm 146 through Psalm 150, each begin the exact same way.

Praise ye the Lord.

As we enter the season of Thanksgiving and praise, Scott is walking us through this crescendo of praise, a study he is calling

the Hallelujah Chorus. In our busy lives, we must make time to praise the Lord not only for what

he's given us, but praise the Lord for who he is. And when our heart is filled with praise, we are ready for worship.

Let's join Scott now for today's study.

The Word of God is for everybody, and the worship of God is for everybody. I love how

inclusive the gospel is. It's for every man and every woman

and every child. And of course, then out of that, the worship of God is for all who will

sincerely come to him. We return one final time today to Psalm 148, this Hallelujah in the Home Psalm,

bringing the praise of God home with us, making it applicable to everyday life. You know,

none of us, none of us are better Christians than the Christians we are in the privacy of our

own home. You're not what you are at church. You are what you are at home.

If you want to know what kind of a Christian someone is, you'll have to ask their family because

I promise you they know and praise should begin in the privacy of our own home. Psalm 148,

verse number 12 and following, both young men and maidens, old old men and children let them praise the name of the Lord

for his name alone is excellent his glory is above the earth and heaven do you see the repetition of truth from earlier in the

psalm all the way to the heights again he also exalted the horn of his people the praise of all his saints

even of the children of Israel,

a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord. Now, in the first six verses, we saw the heights of

praise into the heavens. In verses 7 to 10, we saw the depths of praise back down to earth. In

verse 11 and 12, we saw the breadth of praise. It's for all people. The prominent in the common, the male and the female, the young and the old.
