Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah)
The last 5 psalms are each framed by Hallelujah. It is fitting to bring the psalter to a close with psalms of praise. In this psalm, the praise is deliberate and forever. Make a firm, determined, and conscious decision to praise God in your life. We are also advised not to put our trust in an earthly prince. There is only one who we should put our trust in—Jesus Christ.
