DavidrCOs meditation shows three reasons to praise God: GodrCOs
faithfulness, righteousness, and power [1]

*GodrCOs Faithfulness* anchors the first category. Because of GodrCOs marvelous works down through the ages, whenever trouble surrounds us, we should take a stroll through the past. Every one of us can rehearse his
or her personal history and testify to GodrCOs faithfulness. Time and
again, when we have asked Him to meet some need, we have witnessed the marvelous works of God in our lives.[1] God had won a victory for David,
so he sang a song of praise to the Lord. Because David was doing GodrCOs
will, the Lord maintained his cause.[2]

*GodrCOs Righteousness* forms the second pillar. David looked ahead to the time when God would finally judge sin and establish His righteous
kingdom.[2] The LordrCOs self-revelation in judgment struck terror in the hearts of the wicked, but hope in those oppressed by wickedness.[3] God
does not forget his own, in contrast to the nations that forget God. The rCLpoorrCY refers to those righteous servants of God who suffer unjustly at the hands of evil persons, yet whose hope of GodrCOs intervention does not perish.[3]

*GodrCOs Power* completes the triad. He is their Refuge and will never
forsake them.[2] DavidrCOs motive was that he might praise the Lord and
tell others of His salvation, because there is a place called hell and
GodrCOs salvation is the only escape from that terrible place.[2]

Good News rCa

Christ paid our entire sin debt to God on the cross (Colossians 2:14),
and God gave absolute proof of this by raising Him from the dead (Romans
1:4). God now pardons our sins without compromising His own
righteousness (Romans 3:26), saving us from His coming judgment (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This is a completely free gift reserved for those
who trust in Christ (Romans 6:23). Believe in your heart and call out to
the Lord to be saved (Romans 10:9-13):
