Psalm Genres (Part Five): Psalms of Praise
Sermon by Richard T. RitenbaughGod's people are uniquely chosen and cherished by Him, as reflected in the psalms of praise. He has selected them as His special treasure, calling them out from among others to be His own. They are the sheep of His pasture, tended and kept by Him with care, as a shepherd watches over his flock. He provides for them, rescues them from enemies, saves them from sin, and judges both them and their adversaries, always acting for their ultimate good. His covenant love, known as hesed, binds Him to show kindness, mercy, and steadfast love to His people, fulfilling the promises He has made to them. Even His judgments are tempered with compassion, as He seeks to bring them back to Himself, offering atonement and salvation. For these reasons, God's people are called to rejoice in their Maker, to be joyful in their King, and to offer Him endless praise for His goodness, His enduring mercy, and His unchanging truth that extends to all generations.
