WORTHY TO BE PRAISED
Text: Psalm 18:1-3
20 January 2019
EXTOLLING THE LORD
This was something that King David learned to do (Psalms 30:1; 145:1). He determined that he would bless the Lord and praise His name forever and ever! He determined to attempt to this every single day too!
WORTHY TO BE PRAISED
David was inspired to write many Psalms. The inspiration may be found in the words he wrote as he wrote Psalm 18.
I will love You, O LORD, my strength
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:1-3
