Why do we praise the Lord?

Praise to the Lord is rooted in recognition of His character and acts. According to Scripture, our praises stem from not just an obligation but an acknowledgment of who God is and what He has done. Psalm 146 highlights several attributes of God: His grace, compassion, and mercy. Each of these attributes invites us to respond with praise. Beyond mere duty, proclaiming His excellencies brings joy to our hearts and aligns us with the divine purpose for which we were created: to glorify God. Our praise reflects our trust, and it is a natural outpouring of a heart transformed by the grace of God.
