Every day I will praise you. Psalm 145:2

Today's Scripture Psalm 145: 1-13

Today's Insights

The book of Psalms is divided into five books or divisions (Psalms 1-41; 42-72; 73-89; 90-106; 107-150). And within these books are subdivisions or collections of psalms. For example, Psalms 120-134 are known as the Songs of Ascents. Another subset of psalms are Psalms 146-150, known as the Hallelujah Psalms because they begin and end with the words “praise the Lord” (Hebrew, halelu-yah).

Psalm 145 is an appropriate preface to these final five psalms because it ends with the commitment, “My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever” (v. 21). The remaining psalms (146-150) begin and end with the simple call, “Praise the Lord,” adding their own voices to Psalm 145’s challenge. The words of Psalm 145 remind us that our spirits were designed to respond in praise to God for all He’s done

Today's Devotional

On a road trip to Montana one summer, we stopped at a rest area to stretch our legs. Inside one of the buildings was a young man who was singing a familiar praise song as he mopped the floor. Then he started singing the hymn “It Is Well with My Soul.” I couldn’t resist. When he called out the phrase “it is well,” I repeated it. When he sang, “with my soul,” I echoed the words. Together, we sang the last line: “It is well, it is well . . . with my soul!” He grinned, gave me a fist bump, and said, “Praise God.” When I got back to the car where my husband was waiting, he asked, “What’s with the big smile?”

Think of the things for which we can praise God, such as His goodness, righteousness, compassion, promises, provision, and protection. And Psalm 145 is one of many psalms that urges us to continually praise Him. David wrote, “Every day I will praise you” (v. 2). Many people praise God by playing an instrument; others by reading or reciting Scripture; or by singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (Colossians 3:16). Some express their praise through liturgical dance. But all genuine praise springs from hearts that are full of gratitude.

Our spirits were designed to praise God. It’s because of His sacrificial love for us that we can say with confidence, “It is well with my soul!”

Reflect & Pray

When do you find it easy to express your praise for God? What might help you focus on praising Him in a new way?

Dear God, I want my life to be one of continual praise and worship. May You alone receive all the glory.by

我天天都要赞美你。（诗篇 145:2）

今日经文：诗篇 145篇1-13节

今日洞见：诗篇分为五卷（诗篇 1-41；42-72；73-89；90-106；107-150）。每卷诗篇中又包含若干子卷或诗篇集。例如，诗篇120-134 被称为“上行之诗”。另一组诗篇是诗篇 146-150，被称为“哈利路亚诗篇”，因为它们以“赞美耶和华”（希伯来语：halelu-yah）开头和结尾。

诗篇145篇作为这最后五篇诗篇的序言十分恰当，因为它以这样的承诺结尾：“我的口要述说耶和华的名。万物都要赞美他的圣名，直到永永远远！”（21节）。诗篇146-150中其余的诗篇都以简单的呼召“赞美耶和华”开头和结尾，与诗篇145篇的呼召遥相呼应。诗篇145篇的话语提醒我们，我们的灵被造就是要回应上帝的赞美，感谢祂所做的一切。

今日灵修那年夏天，我们开车去蒙大拿州，途中在一个休息区停下来舒展筋骨。在其中一栋建筑里，一位年轻人一边拖地一边唱着一首熟悉的赞美诗。然后，他开始唱《我心灵得安息》（It Is Well with My Soul），我情不自禁地跟着唱了起来。当他唱到“我心灵得安息”时，我也跟着唱。我们一起唱完了最后一句：“我心灵，我心灵得安息！”他咧嘴一笑，和我击了个拳，说：“赞美神。” 当我回到车里，丈夫正在车里等我时，他问：“你为什么笑得这么开心？”

想想我们可以赞美神的事，比如祂的良善、公义、怜悯、应许、供应和保护。诗篇145篇是众多鼓励我们不断赞美祂的诗篇之一。大卫写道：“我天天要赞美你”（诗篇145篇第2节）。许多人通过演奏乐器来赞美神；有些人通过阅读或背诵经文来赞美神；有些人通过歌唱诗篇、赞美诗和属灵的歌曲来赞美神（歌罗西书3:16）。有些人通过礼仪舞蹈来表达他们的赞美。但所有真诚的赞美都源于充满感恩的心。

我们的灵被造就是为了赞美神。正因祂为我们舍己的爱，我们才能满怀信心地说：“我心灵得安息！”

反思与祷告你何时能轻易地表达对神的赞美？什么能帮助你以新的方式专注于赞美祂？亲爱的神，我愿我的生命充满持续不断的赞美和敬拜。愿一切荣耀都归于祢。
