Psalms 146:1

Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

146:1. Praise ye the LORD, or, “Hallelujah.” With holy awe let us pronounce the word, and by it summon ourselves and all others to adore the God of the whole earth. People need to be called to praise; it is important that they should praise; and there are many reasons why they should do it at once.

Praise the LORD, O my soul. He would be the leader of the choir which he had summoned. It is a poor business if we exhort others, and do not stir up our own soul. If my voice should be of the poorer sort, and somewhat lacking in melody, yet my soul shall accomplish my resolve to magnify the Lord.
