"Praise The LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise The LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." Psalms 103:1-5 (NIV)
This psalm of King David is a song of praise. He encouraged the people to praise The Lord God with all that is within them because of all of the good things that He has done for them. They should praise Him because He forgives their sins, heals their diseases, lifts them up when they fall, loves them in spite of their selves, and He gives them the desires of their hearts while He preserves strength and their ability to function.
We should praise and thank The Lord much more often than we do. He has done so much for us. He is worthy of all praise. In fact, His praise should continually be in our mouths. (Psalms 34:1) We have been blessed in more ways than we can count. He wakes us up each day. He forgives our many sins. He blesses us with His loving kindness and His mercy. He allows us to recover from illnesses. He renews our strength. He delivers us from death. We ought to praise The Lord with all that is within us, and we ought to praise Him often.
