Introduction

Psalm 150: In today’s psalm, a full orchestra of musical instruments is to be joined by a full choir of voices, as “all living creatures” join the song of praise. Every verse begins with and includes the word “praise.” The word appears thirteen times.

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 150:6

Praise the LORD, all living creatures! Praise the LORD!

Reflect

Music and musical instruments are mentioned frequently in the Bible, but unfortunately no actual melodies are preserved and we can only guess at the exact sounds of the instruments. What instruments are mentioned in today’s psalm? What kinds of music are most meaningful to you in praising God? How will you praise God today?

Pray

Praise the LORD! Lord God, I praise you for all the mighty things you have done. May my words and actions this day demonstrate my joyful praise and worship of you. Amen.
