Psalms 145 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
 JV McGee
This is a great psalm of praise standing alone, and serving as an introduction to the last five, which constitute the final anthem of thanksgiving, the expression of perfected praise. It is a solo, but the singer is singing not for himself alone, but for others. The peoples are in mind.

The theme is a threefold one; first, the majesty of the Divine honor and works (v. 5). Second, the might of the acts of God (vv. 6~7). Third and supremely, the mercy of God (vv. 8~9). Then follows the exercise. First, the chorus of the works of The LORD, and of His saints. This chorus celebrates His glory, His power, His mighty acts, and the majesty of His kingdom.
