Before your parents read this Psalm, get your fingers ready to count.  I want you to count how many times the word praise is used in this Psalm.  Are you ready?  OK now read Psalms 150:1-6  This Psalm begins with "Praise ye the Lord" and ends with "Praise ye the Lord".  I think King David is telling us to Praise the Lord!  So, how many times did you count the word praise?  I counted eleven.  In only six verses we are commanded to praise the Lord eleven times!  In this, his very last Psalm, King David is leaving us with the importance of praising the Lord.  Here in this Psalm, there are several places to praise the Lord.  We should praise Him at home and at church.  There are several reasons that we should praise the Lord.  We should praise Him because He takes care of us and meets our needs.  There are several ways that we can praise the Lord.  We can say good things about God and we can sing His praises at church.  We can play instruments to praise the Lord.  But, most important of all, we just need to do it.  We ought to praise the Lord.  We should praise Him because we are thankful.  We should praise the Lord!
