Our meditation today is from Psalm 146, verses 1 and 2 of the Old Testament. This Psalm and the last four Psalms begin and end with the word "Hallelujah. "Hallelujah" is a Hebrew word meaning "praise the Lord". This action is a collective call to the second person plural, which is translated in the Chinese text as "You shall praise the Lord." Dear listeners, do you accept such a call to praise? God values the praise of every heart, and thus the psalmist moves from the plural "you" to the conscious decision of the individual "I": to praise and sing praises to our Creator, Redeemer, and eternal King all the days of our lives. As long as we live, let us not only worship on the Lord's Day, but praise the Lord with our lives. (translation from DeepL.com/translator)
