As you read, keep in mind our two questions:

1. What things in this Psalm can I relate to?

2. Is there anything in the Psalm that makes me think of Jesus?

1 Praise the LORD.
Praise, you servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD.
2 May the LORD's name be praised
now and forevermore.
3 From east to west
the LORD’s name is deserving of praise.
4 The LORD is exalted over all the nations;
his splendor reaches beyond the sky.
5 Who can compare to the LORD our God,
who sits on a high throne?
6 He bends down to look
at the sky and the earth.
7 He raises the poor from the dirt
and lifts up the needy from the garbage pile
8 that he might seat him with princes,
with the princes of his people.
9 He makes the barren woman of the family
a happy mother of children.
Praise the LORD.

REFLECTIONS

Now think about the two questions:

1. What things in this Psalm can I relate to?

2. Is there anything in the Psalm that makes me think of Jesus?

Then pray, seeking to delight in God or to depend on God.
