The Bible gives this psalm the title “a song for the Sabbath day”. For the Christian, we celebrate The Lord’s Day. What is it about?
vs 1 It is a good thing to give thanks and sing praises. We get together to thank and praise GOD, the Most High. It is good and pleasant to do this together, and God likes it.
vs 2 The purpose is to declare God’s goodness to us – His lovingkindness and faithfulness to us! This is an encouragement to our heart…Praise Him often – every morning and night. The early church got together much more than we do today. We should be quick to give testimony of what God has done for us recently. The psalmist is so certain that God is busy in our lives that he knows we’ll have praises to shout out every morning and night in joyful testimony and to give thanks; that’s the psalmist’s own testimony here, written down and preserved forever! ( and he didn’t just go to the ‘Morning Service’)
