Praise

Our Sunday School teacher said something Sunday morning about praise in Bible days. It was not so much a choice as a command. That struck a chord with me and I thought about the many psalms that begin with "O give thanks" and "I will praise Thee." I have scanned through and made a list of the first phrases of chapters in Psalms that begin with praise. Remember Psalm 22:3 says "the Lord inhabits the praise of Israel" (many of us include ourselves by adoption:o)).

Ch. 9, I will praise Thee...
Ch. 30 I will extol Thee...
Ch. 33 Rejoice...
Ch. 34 I will bless the Lord...
Ch. 46 God is our refuge...
Ch. 47 O clap you rhands...
Ch. 48 Great is the Lord...
Ch. 66 Make a joyful noise untol the Lord...
Ch. 68 Let God arise...
Ch. 81 Sing aloud unto God...
Ch. 89 I will sing of the mercies
Ch. 92 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord...
Ch. 93 The Lord reigneth...
Ch. 95 O come let us sing unto the Lord...
Ch. 96 O sing unto the Lord...
Ch. 97 The Lord reigneth...
Ch. 98 O sing unto the Lord...
Ch. 99 The Lord reigneth...
Ch. 100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord...
Ch. 101 I will sing of mercy...
Ch. 103 Bless the Lord O my soul...
Ch. 104 Bless the Lord O my soul...
Ch. 105 O give thanks...
Ch. 106 Praise ye the Lord...

Ch. 108 O God my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise...
Ch. 111 Praise ye the Lord...
Ch. 112 Praise ye the Lord...
Ch. 113 Praise ye the Lord...
Ch. 116 I love the Lord...
Ch. 117 O praise the Lord...
Ch. 118 O give thanks...
Ch. 134 Behold bless ye the Lord...
Ch. 135 Praise ye the Lord
Ch. 136 O give thanks...
Ch. 138 I will praise Thee...

Ch. 146 Praise ye the Lord...
Ch. 147 Praise ye the Lord...
