In fact, in Psalm 145, he begins, that is, David begins, singing alone. It's in the singular, I, I, I. By the time you get to the end of Psalm 145, he has been joined by the entire creation. Praise my soul, the king of heaven. the whole of creation joins in wonder in jubilant song if you like in a way that is almost infectious and it results in others being caught up in the reality of an unending and an unbroken and a quite unreserved praise now let me say as I draw this to a close a number of practical things first of all it surely goes without saying that the lyrics of our songs need to be biblical. …
… that he is the sustainer of life, that he is eternal, that he is infinite, that he is unchangeable, that he is true to all of his promises, and so on. That we are his people, the sheep of his pasture, that we've been called out of darkness in order that we might declare the praises of him who brought us into this new dimension. One of the hymn writers does it well. "'Tis what I know of thee, my Lord and God, that fills my heart with praise, my lips with song. "'Tis what I know of thee, I know you.'" And that kind of knowledge is not theoretical. It's experiential. It's practical. Because the worship of God—and there's a good conference on this. It's called doxology and theology. The worship of God is theological rather than psychological. That worshiping God involves declaring his greatness. Again, Calvin, there is a great difference between music one makes to entertain and the psalms, which are the songs sung in the church in the presence of God and the angels. …

… Come into his presence with singing. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him. Bless his name. Psalm 36 verse 8. Those that take refuge in the shadow of God's wings feast on the abundance of his house. you give them to drink from the river of your delights. In the house of God, in the presence of God, with the people of God, under the word of God, there is an abundance. It's a feast, he says. We're not drinking from a dripping faucet in a place of scarcity. No, we're drinking from more than a fire hose. There's a river of what? Of delights when you're in the presence of God.

Be thankful to him and bless his name, for the Lord is good. So perhaps that's what is going on at this time. These Thanksgiving Psalms are mentioned. And there is a lot of thanksgiving in these chapters. in the new testament it says in everything give thanks for this is the will of god in christ jesus concerning you gratitude is the attitude that sets the altitude for the Christian life gratitude is the attitude that sets the altitude for the Christian life every father loves to hear from his son or daughter thank you God our father loves it when we say regularly thank you Jesus healed 10 lepers. Nine of them said nothing after they were healed. Only one gave thanks. 10%. So I hope that is not the ratio among God's people today. I hope it's more like 90% to 10 rather than 10% to 90. …
