Psalm 150: Let Everything That Has Breath Praise the Lord

Walking Through the Psalms

Episode Summary

Psalm 150 brings the Book of Psalms to a fitting conclusion: praise. After all the prayers, laments, confessions, cries for help, songs of trust, declarations of hope, and calls to worship, the Psalter ends with praise. The final word is not fear, sorrow, confusion, or grief. The final word is praise.In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins teaches through Psalm 150 and shows how this short, joyful, and reverent psalm calls everyone and everything with breath to praise the Lord. God is worthy of praise in every place, for His mighty deeds, according to His excellent greatness, and with every breath He gives.This message also points us to Jesus Christ, the One who lived the perfect life of worship we have not lived, died in the place of sinners who have used their breath for sin instead of praise, and rose again to restore His people to the purpose for which they were made.

Why This Matters

Psalm 150 reminds Christians that praise is not rooted in changing circumstances but in the unchanging worthiness of God. The Lord is worthy when life is joyful and when life is heavy. He is worthy when our hearts are full and when our hearts are weary. Because God does not change, His worthiness does not change.The call of Psalm 150 is not simply to try harder to praise the Lord. It is a call to behold the God who is worthy, trust the Savior who restores sinners to worship, and offer our lives to the Lord in praise.
