What does Psalm 150:2 mean?

To direct the people's praise (Psalm 150:1), the psalmist focuses on two themes regarding God. First are the incredi-ble things which the Lord has done (Psalm 78:2–4). His amazing creation (Psalm 8:3–4; 19:1), miracles (Exo-dus 3:19–20), and intervention (Psalm 44:1–3) demonstrate His power. Israel's history includes mo-ments such as the exodus from Egypt (Exodus 12:41), the parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21–22), the estab-lishment of the Davidic kings (2 Samuel 7:12–16), the return of Israelites from exile in Babylon (Ezra 2:1), and the rebuilding of the temple (Ezra 6:17).

The second theme is a brief summary of the Lord's divine attributes. He is the measure of everything good and true (Exodus 34:6–7). His miracles are proof of His superior nature (Romans 1:20). He is also eternal (Isaiah 40:28), all-knowing (Romans 11:33), all-powerful (Job 42:2), and uncreated (Colossians 1:16–17).

Today, Christians can celebrate God's profound work in their own lives. This involves our salvation (Romans 5:8), preservation (John 10:27–28), sanctification (1 John 3:2–3), and provision for our needs (Matthew 6:33). Those who have been saved (John 3:16–18) benefit from a relationship with the One and only Creator (John 1:3).
