Today’s text is an invitation to ascribe praise to God, starting with those who think they are strong (v. 1b) – “O mighty ones.” The text uses the praise “mighty ones” for it is God that made it possible for the strong and mighty to sleep and wake up (cf. Psalm 3:5).

Indeed, God alone is worthy of praise (v. 2), honor and worship. The Psalmist recognized God’s greatness, the only Being that has no creator and whose voice echoes above the sea (v. 3). God has the power to handle all situations because the voice of God splits and shatters mighty cedar trees that could grow up to 120 feet in height and 30 feet in circumference.

Every situation is under God (vs. 4-10). The Psalmist further reminds us that praise needs to be ascribed to God because He strengthens people and brings peace upon human beings.

QUESTION: Do you always praise God for what He has done for you or do you feel you achieved greatness based on your own strength or smartness?

PRAYER: Oh Lord, help me to cultivate the attitude of praising You. And remembering all You have done for me, I give You all the praises in Christ’s name, Amen.
