In Psalm 103, written by David, we find four perspectives that encourage us to praise the Lord. David begins and ends using the expression “My soul”, this is inward dialogue, or godly self-talk. Our perspective is connected to the presence or absence of praise to God in our lives. When we have the right perspective and are thinking rightly about God it leads to gratitude and a person who is full of praise.

Psalm 103:1-5 Remember God’s Benefits
Who Forgives
Who Heals
Who Redeems
Who Crowns
Who Satisfies

Psalm 103:6-14 Expect God to be who He is
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love. Ps 103:8

Psalm 103:15-22 Contrasts that display the greatness of God
People and places are here and quickly gone.
Angels as God’s servants are to give praise.
