Psalms 102-103; 110; 116-119; 127-128; 135-139; 146-150: “Let Every Thing That Hath Breath Praise the Lord” (August 22-28)

“King David,” by Peter Paul Rubens,

When God gives us responsibilities, He also provides power to help us fulfill them. That assurance returns time and time again in the last 50 psalms. Melchizedek received the eternal priesthood power of God (Psalm 110:4). Joseph became resilient through the trials he experienced (Psalm 105:17-18). And parents are fortified by the knowledge that they have inherited their children from God (Psalm 127:3-5).

We plead for his help with the simple word “Hosanna,” which is both a supplication and a declaration of faith (Psalm 118:25). As we seek God’s help to fulfill our duties, we can be assured that His arms of mercy are extended to us (Psalm 136:12), and that we are building on a solid foundation (Psalm 118:22-23).
