Praise the LORD
Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 135:1-13. Psalm 135 is a Psalm of praise to the LORD. It reminds us over and over to praise the LORD. Why should we praise the LORD? Because He is good, He is a great God, greater than all other gods. He is the LORD who chose Jacob and Israel for His treasure.
The LORD does what He pleases in heaven, in earth, in the seas, and in the deep places of the earth. He is the one who causes the rain to pour down from heaven and water the earth. He is the one who causes the wind to blow.
He is a mighty God. There is none greater than He. He conquered mighty nations and kings. He defeated the enemies of the children of Israel, took possession of their land and gave it to Israel as a heritage. He is the LORD God and His name will endure forever. He will be remembered through all generations.

Psalm 135:1-13
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.
2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,
3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
Things to think about:
- In what ways do you praise the LORD?
- Why do we praise the LORD?
- What are some of the things for which we can praise the LORD?
