Sermon Outline:

Three Ways to Develop a LifeStyle of Praise (Psalm 149:1-9, ESV)

• Praise GOD in times of Blessings (Psalm 149:1-3)

​¹ Praise the LORD!
Sing to the LORD a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!
² Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
³ Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!

• Praise GOD in times of Suffering (Psalm 149:4-6)

⁴ For the LORD takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
⁵ Let the godly exult in glory;
let them sing for joy on their beds.
⁶ Let the high praises of God be in their throats
and two-edged swords in their hands,

• Praise GOD in times of Warfare (Psalm 149:7-9)

⁷ to execute vengeance on the nations
and punishments on the peoples,
⁸ to bind their kings with chains
and their nobles with fetters of iron,
⁹ to execute on them the judgment written!
This is honor for all his godly ones.
Praise the LORD!
