As our Psalms in 2024 exploration comes to a close, these two represent the extremes - despair and abject praise. Whether we cry out to the LORD day and night about our suffering and affliction (Ps. 88) or whether we praise Him for his greatness with trumpets, tambourines and dancing (Ps. 150), He hears us… and knows us and loves us. Praise the LORD!

“O God, I praise your word. I put my trust in you. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? “ v. 3-4
“For you have rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping. So now I can walk in your presence, O God, in your life-giving light.” v. 13
What can man do to me? Turns out, man can do quite a lot. Even so, what a comforting set of book ends for us as we live during this time and place in history.

Can you think of some things to be thankful for? It’s not November or Thanksgiving Day, but we can practice thankfulness everyday… for the redemption of our sin, for God’s dominion over all of creation and His daily provision in each of our lives. May we all shout and sing for joy because of these things!
