Psalm 149:1-5, 9b A New Song of Praise ... Shout praises to the LORD! Sing God a new song of praise when the loyal people meet. People of Israel, rejoice because of your Creator. People of Zion, celebrate because of your King. Praise God by dancing!!! play music on harps and tambourines. The LORD is pleased with his people, and he gives victory to those who are humble. All of you faithful people, praise our glorious Lord! Celebrate and worship. Shout praises to the LORD! Join us on Sunday Morning (SS hour) Fellowship Hall 10:00-10:45 Leaders Rotate each week Room 203 (Choir +) 9:45-10:30 Sharon Elliott & Marcia Wiseman No, we aren’t giving dance lessons but we are learning a few new steps as we study “PSALMS FOR SUMMER!” Won’t you join as we “dance” our way from June 13 through August 29 with new partners and old friends … The Book of Psalms represents a rich tapestry of prayer and praise. Some psalms reflect a texture of deep despair, other glow with a deep peace in the Lord’s strength, still others bubble with an exuberant exaltation of the Most High God. They cover the range of human emotion and experience. What they all have in common is prayer, a reaching out to God from every imaginable experience.
In this study we’ll attempt to enter into the experience of the psalms. Yes, we’ll explore the meanings of words and learn to appreciate the high art of these poetic masterpieces. We will study thoughtfully, carefully. More than that, we will find out how to pray. We will know how to find peace in the midst of turmoil. We will learn to be thankful. We will begin to follow the pattern of the psalmists as we begin to praise. In short, with the psalms that we study as our guide, we will grow deeper in our walk with the Lord and more able to offer worthy praise to the King. We will experience the Psalms.
