Thanksgiving: A Psalm of praise

Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know this that the Lord is God: it is he that made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations.

Amen

Being British and NOT American I have to say that I don't celebrate thanksgiving or anything of the sort.

What is a Psalm?

If I remember correctly, a sacred song or poem used to praise God.

I don't think it was to be praiseful though. Some of David's psalms only express pain and confusion and ask questions.

I see them mostly as a prayer to music, although rarely to I have music to them, so they seem most like a prayer to me.

They are man’ s response to God. Some echo of praise, others treat human desperation.

When looking at JIA's posts, I thought PSalm was a section of the Bible like Mark, Mathew, Luke n John.

The psalms are in the Book of Psalms, a book in the Old Testament and Tanakh. It is filled with a wide variety of hymns, laments, and poetry on all manner of topics.

That would be an accurate description I think.

Some of them are quite magnificent as well. Some of the best poetry I think there is in the world.

I see, the Bible must be a pretty big book. (Big as in content.)

The Psalms is the largest book of the Bible. 150 chapters in all.
