Psa 148:14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14 : God’s own people have even more reason to praise Him. He has raised up a horn for his people, the praise of all his saints, even the children of Israel, a people near to him (Psalm 148:14 ). God gave Israel special honor and blessings. They were chosen to be close to Him, His own treasured people. This blessing now comes to all who believe in Jesus, who brings those far away near to God (Ephesians 2:13 ). Because of this, God’s people should praise Him even more. The greatest honor is to be near to God, and so we must give Him the praise He deserves (Deuteronomy 10:21 ).

‏ Psalms 148:14

v. 14: God’s own people have even more reason to praise Him. He has raised up a horn for his people, the praise of all his saints, even the children of Israel, a people near to him (Psalm 148:14 ^a). God gave Israel special honor and blessings. They were chosen to be close to Him, His own treasured people. This blessing now comes to all who believe in Jesus, who brings those far away near to God (Ephesians 2:13 ^b). Because of this, God’s people should praise Him even more. The greatest honor is to be near to God, and so we must give Him the praise He deserves (Deuteronomy 10:21 ^c).
