Introduction

Today’s psalm is an alphabetical acrostic psalm. If you read this psalm in Hebrew, you would see that each verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The form of this psalm is as important as the text itself. By using the acrostic form, the psalm writer describes God’s kindness and mercy from “A to Z”.

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 145:3

The LORD is great and is to be highly praised; his greatness is beyond understanding.

Today’s Reading 

Psalm 145

Reflect

In what ways does the psalm writer proclaim God’s greatness? Try rewriting the first three verses of this psalm as an acrostic: the first word of the first verse beginning with the letter “A”, the second beginning with the letter “B”, and the third beginning with the letter “C”. Does the use of this form enhance the message of the psalm for you? 

Pray

Always, I will praise you and honor your name, my God and King and proclaim your greatness. 

Blessed is your name; each and every day I am delighted to sing your praises. 

Creator God, your greatness is beyond my understanding! Amen.
