How to give praise to the Lord

Psalm 96

The Psalms have a great deal to teach us. We should not look at them as just some poetry, or the high expressions of some individuals, but as the Word of God, which is inspired and very practical for our daily living.

An analysis of this Psalm will help us to see ways in which we can give praise to the Lord.

  • By singing (Psalm 96:1-2)
    • What do we sing
      • A song of praise (new song)
      • Songs to bless His name
      • Songs of salvation
  • By telling (Psalm 96:3-4)
    • Tell of
      • His glory
      • His good deeds
      • His greatness
  • By acknowledging Him (Psalm 96:7-8)
    • What do we acknowledge
      • His glory
      • His strength
    • How do we acknowledge Him
      • through offerings
      • worship in holiness
      • proclaiming Him among nations

When we praise God in this way, our lives will be made rich, His name will be exalted, and men everywhere will know the Lord.
