Day 17 Psalm 66:1-8

1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
2 sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise!
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.
4 All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.”
5 Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
6 He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him,
7 who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let not the rebellious exalt themselves.
8 Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard,

Reflection: Our God is the One who is enthroned upon the praises of Israel. Whether we are on the mountaintop or in the valley, whether in the brightness of day or in the darkness of night, we are called to praise Him in faith—declaring His glory with words of praise and bringing down the authority of His throne through our worship. As we continue to praise Him and experience more of His mighty works, our hearts are drawn into deeper humility and obedience before Him. And before others, we will all the more gladly lift up unceasing praise, proclaiming His greatness and testifying to His wondrous deeds.
