Hallelujah! Great is His Work!
This psalm was likely written during the return of the Jewish remnant to Judah after their exile in Jerusalem. In the rebuilding of their land, they faced hostile neighbours & uncooperative officials. The psalmist goes beyond actual circumstances and problems to direct the people to say ‘Hallelujah or Praise the Lord’. For the large part of this psalm, he focuses the people on God’s work: God’s work is great v2, glorious & majestic v3, wonderful acts v4, He provides v5, powerful v6, faithful & just v7, steadfast v8, He redeems v9.
Our response to a great God is to fear & obey Him. Only then is His name praised. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.” Psalm 110:10
Application:
What are some adjectives that you would use to describe God’s work in your life? Do you desire to win Him praises?
