Praising God Why do we praise God? Our passage today begins with the phrase ‘Praise the Lord.’ All throughout the psalms we see this phrase. On a Sunday and a Friday night at youth group we also praise God in the form of singing at the beginning and end of every service. The answer to why we praise the Lord is potentially endless, but this psalm gives us a great start. We see that God is worthy of worship because of who He is and because of His great works. Praising God is not restricted to times of public gathering. We can praise God when we’re alone, even whilst we are going about our day.
