1. Sing praises to the LORD (23-30)

David was a great worshiper of God. He wrote beautiful songs and poems of praise to God. Sing to the LORD. Proclaim his salvation. Declare his glory...his marvelous deeds. For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise. He is to be feared about all gods, for they are nothing but idols. The LORD is full of splendor, majesty, strength, joy, glory and holiness. Tremble before him. God is so great! What is your poem or song to God?

2. Give thanks to the LORD (31-43)

Even the heavens, the earth, the sea, the fields and the trees sing praises to God, and should, for the LORD reigns! He is their Maker and ours (26). God is worthy of all our thanks and praise for he is good; his love endures forever. He is our Savior. David appointed ministers of burnt offerings, gatekeepers, singers and musicians to lead the people in worship.
