Folks...are we not His saints? ...the Ones set apart by Him as His very own because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ Which covers each of us who have accepted that precious gift of salvation? Have you ever noticed how hard it is NOT to praise the Lord, if you know Him as your personal Savior and Lord?
But another reason to praise the Lord, is that out of our praise, grows our desire to tell others about all He has done for us... that's why David wrote in Psalm 9, "I will praise you, O Lord, with all of my heart, I will tell of all Your marvelous works."

Looking at this great Psalm this morning, then, how do we approach it? Well, as you read this Psalm, I believe we would do great injustice to the Word of God if we just read a part of it, which is why I read it for our Scripture readin ...
