"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)
In this psalm, King David was talking to himself and telling himself to praise The Lord with all of his innermost being because of all of the blessings which The Lord had bestowed upon him. He stated that The Lord forgave his sins, healed his diseases, redeemed his life from the pit, crowned him with love and compassion, and blessed him with the good things that he desired.
We should praise The Lord fervently and frequently for all that He has blessed us with. He has blessed us with a home and home-life, a reasonable portion of health, happiness and joy, a good heritage, and hope for the future. We should praise God and we should thank Him for all that He has done for us. Then we should pray that The Lord God will continue to be gracious to us and continue to bless us. (Psalms 67:1)
