Scripture
Questions
- Verse 1 commands praise both “in His sanctuary” and “in His mighty expanse.” What does this teach us about where worship happens, and how might it challenge the tendency to limit worship to church settings?
- Verse 2 says God must be praised for His mighty deeds and His excellent greatness. Why does Psalm 150 connect praise both to what God has done and to who He is?
- Verses 3–5 call for praise with many instruments and loud celebration. What does this reveal about the posture and intensity of biblical praise, and why might believers today struggle with this kind of openness?
- Verse 6 concludes, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” What does this final command teach us about who praise belongs to, and how does it broaden our understanding of worship?
Next Step
This week, intentionally turn one ordinary moment each day into an act of praise — verbally thanking God for who He is or what He has done — and notice how this reshapes your awareness of His presence.
Prayer Focus
Pray that God would soften reserved hearts and cultivate joyful, wholehearted praise. Ask Him to help you remember His mighty works, treasure His greatness, and respond to Him with worship that flows from both gratitude and reverence.
