A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Bless The Lord O My Soul - Prayer 14 Subtitle: Spurgeon's Prayers Personal Speaker: C. H. Spurgeon Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 9/4/2025 Length: 7 min.

Praise the Lord, O My Soul!

We ask that our faith may clearly perceive the blood of the atonement and the covering of the perfect righteousness of Christ; and May we come afresh, depending alone on Jesus. "I, the chief of sinners am, but Jesus died for me." May this be our one hope, that Jesus died and rose again, and that for His sake we are accepted in the Beloved. May every child of Yours have his conscience purged from dead works to serve the true and living God.

Episode Notes “BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL” Today the psalmist conveys a command to praise God and provides several themes by which we should lift up our voices to God in praise.

Psalm 103, Paul Tivey, 24 August 2025, Summer Psalms (4) | Watch

Bless the Lord, Oh My Soul is the call on the hearts of God's people. We praise him for his faithful love and compassion, which we see in his dealings with Israel in the Exodus, in his relationship with us as Father, and in the love he extends to us as his creatures.

“May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works— who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.” - Psalm 104:31-33 (NRSVUE) We continue our Creation Care series with more poetry from the Psalms, turning to Psalm 104, a hymn of praise that celebrates the wonder and order of God's creation. The psalmist paints a breathtaking picture of a world teeming with life—mountains rising, springs flowing, trees sheltering birds, and seas alive with creatures beyond number. Psalm 104 reminds us that creation is not just background scenery; it is an active participant in God's ongoing work. Let's explore what it means to see the earth as God's dwelling place and our home—a sacred trust rather than a resource to exploit. How does this vision shape our relationship with the natural world? How do we join God in renewing the face of the earth? Together we'll reflect on gratitude, awe and praise as essential practices of faith. Come and discover how caring for creation is an act of worship, deeply rooted in the praise of God who gives life to all.

Restoration Community Church welcomes Greg Burdette to share the message this morning. Greg is an Associate Pastor at Bellefield Presbyterian Church. He shares from his favorite of the Psalms, Psalm 103. Greg encourages us to seek gratitude in God, even when our soul may not feel like it in the moment. Passages: Psalm 103

In this replay from Summer 2024, BibleWorm continues our summer series on creation care with Psalm 104, a profound text celebrating the magnificence of creation, which brings joy not only to the human heart but also to all creatures, from the birds in the trees to Leviathan in the deeps of the sea. We even see the celebratory nature of God, who whisks about on the clouds, wearing a fabulous cloak made of light and rejoicing in all that God has created. The psalm also reminds us of the harmonious relationship God intends for humans and animals, with humans working during the day and animals prowling at night so we can each live our lives fully, without being a danger to one another. All of this, the psalmist reminds us, should make us sing throughout our lives at the incomparable glory of creation. Bless the LORD, O my soul!

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this July 29th, join your host, Hunter, as he guides us through another enriching day in our year-long journey through Scripture. Today's episode takes us through Isaiah 57–59, Psalm 103, and 2 Peter 3. Together, we'll reflect on God's promises of healing and restoration, the call to authentic living and justice, and the hope of Christ's return. Hunter encourages us to shift our focus from ourselves to the goodness and mercy of God, practicing “soul talk” by reminding our hearts daily of His blessings. Stay tuned for a time of prayer, encouragement, and a reminder that you are deeply loved. Settle in, open your heart, and let's discover the abundant life Jesus offers—one day, one scripture at a time. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Give your soul a good talk. There are times when our soul needs a little talking to. Psalm 103 leads by example: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” The psalmist is intentionally reminding himself, calling his soul to attention, saying—remember what God has done for you! He lists off the goodness of God: He has forgiven you, healed you, redeemed you, crowned you with love and mercy, satisfied you with good things. He renews your strength, vindicates the oppressed, reveals His ways—over and over, the psalmist checks off these reminders, pointing his soul back to gratitude and truth. When we give ourselves a good soul talk, we shift the focus away from our messes or even our own virtues, and put it where it belongs—on the goodness and sufficiency of God. Instead of dwelling on what we have done or failed to do, we lift our eyes to what He has done, and continues to do. That's not just “positive self-talk”—it's gospel talk. It is the practice of reciting God's faithfulness, mercy, and grace down deep into our roots, day by day. We need this kind of soul talk every single day. And not only do we need to speak the gospel to ourselves, we need others to speak it over us. That's why being in community, family, and church matters so much. Let's be intentional, not just with ourselves, but in encouraging and reminding those around us—our loved ones, our friends, our coworkers—of the good news of God's love and faithfulness. Are you feeling discouraged, anxious, or condemned? Give yourself a good soul talk. Make a list of ways God has shown mercy and grace. Reread Psalm 103, write out your own list, and make a habit of shifting your gaze to Jesus daily. This is my prayer for my own life, for my family, and for you: may you speak the good news to your soul, and may your life be anchored in the hope and mercy found in Christ. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me. Again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide. Not to achieve, but to receive. Today. Let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth, that I am yours and you are with me. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

This Psalm is sung to the air ‘I Wish My Love was a Red, Red Rose,' and praises God's compassion and mercy. A song that is sweet and simple in some ways also explores the theme of forgiveness (“far as the east is from the west, so far God removes our sins”) and the finitude of our lives (“though all our days are like the grass that flourishes, then blows”), it remains grounded in the steadfast love of God that will remain far beyond our earthly existence.Continue your reflections with the accompanying journal, which includes further questions for reflection and some invitations to prayer and practice.Paid subscribers receive a free journal PDF, or you can purchase a paperback versionVisit the Celtic Psalms website for scores/books, mp3s, CDs, and videos for Bless the Lord, O My Soul Find out more about the Habits for the Spirit course: an 8-week online course exploring habits and daily spiritual practices to promote wellbeing in body, mind, and spiritFollow Kiran's monthly reflections on Bless My FeetPsalms for the Spirit is a reader-supported publication.

Bless The Lord, O My SoulPsalm 103:1-5 “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits—who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.”Yesterday I couldn't get a song out of my head. It is such a good song. I wanted to share that song with you this morning. The song is called “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord).” It was written by Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin and is based upon Psalms 103:1-5. It explores how we can never run out of reasons to worship and praise God. On Monday of this week, Episode #1036, we talked about how vital praise and worship are to our faith journey. This song and this Psalm remind us that there are so many reasons we can be grateful to the Lord.Let's first look at these verses. They begin with “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” This is exactly what we talked about on Monday. Praising the Lord is so important. Even when we are in a really difficult season of life, there are many reasons we can be grateful to the Lord and we can praise Him.In the verse, it says, “who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.” Those are some pretty amazing things to thank God for. You might not have experienced all of them, but I bet you have experienced some of them. Have you felt God's steadfast mercy and love in your life? Have you experienced His forgiveness? Some of you have even experienced his healing touch. I know some of you have been redeemed from a pit as well. I love the line that says your youth is renewed like the eagles. We could all use our youth to be renewed.Can you see all the amazing things God has done and will do for us? Can you see how there are endless possibilities when it comes to praising the Lord? The song for today also talks about praising the Lord. I invite you to listen to the song sometime today. You can look it up on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Music, wherever you usually listen to music. The reason I would like you to listen to the actual song, instead of just this podcast, is that it is really good. Here are the words to the song.[Chorus]Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soulWorship His holy nameSing like never before, O my soulI'll worship Your holy nameAs you can see this chorus comes almost directly from the Psalm. I love it when artist do this. I love when they use the Bible verses in the songs. It helps get the Lord's word out to more people.Next is Verse 1:    The sun comes up, it's a new day dawningIt's time to sing Your song againWhatever may pass and whatever lies before meLet me be singing when the evening comesThis is something we can always be grateful for: that we got to wake up to a brand new day of life. I love how this verse says, whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when the evening comes. Wouldn't it be great if we could be singing to the Lord at the end of the day, no matter what happens to us throughout the day? How great would it be if we got so used to praising the Lord that we could praise Him no matter the circumstances?Verse 2:You're rich in love and You're slow to angerYour name is great and Your heart is kindFor all Your goodness, I will keep on singingTen thousand reasons for my heart to findWe tend to have a perception of God that he is angry at us all the time. We look at some parts of the Old Testament, and we think God is full of Vengeance and Wrath. This is not what He is constantly telling our prayer group. He always tells us how much He loves us. God is rich in love and slow to anger. Does he get angry? Probably, we all do. However, He loves us so much more than his anger. I love how the verse says, “For all your goodness, I will keep on singing ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. If you are looking, there are always reasons to be thankful to God. Even in your most difficult season there are things you can praise the Lord for, you just have to look for them. Or, as I mentioned on Monday, you can put on praise and worship music and let the artists praise the Lord for you![Verse 3]And on that day when my strength is failingThe end draws near and my time has comeStill, my soul will sing Your praise unendingTen thousand years and then forevermoreForevermoreIt is beautiful to think about praising the Lord when our time on this earth is ending. When we can feel our strength failing. How great would it be to get to the end of our lives and still want to sing the Lord's praises. I like how it says ten thousand years and then forever more. Once we are in heaven, all will make sense. We will understand all the things that we don't understand now. Then we will get to praise the Lord for all eternity.[Chorus]Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soulWorship His holy nameSing like never before, O my soulI'll worship Your holy nameThis song is such a great song to play when you want to worship the Lord. As I listened to it last night at prayer group I knew I would be listening to it, more often. It's a great way to praise the Lord!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask to you bless all those listening to this episode. Lord we love you and we are so grateful for all you do for us. We are sorry we don't always appreciate all you do. We are sorry that we don't always know how to praise you. Please help us with this Lord. Please stir our hearts and help us to learn to praise you more often. We want to always be telling you how much we appreciate you. We ask all this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

There are many lessons and things I picked up on, which will be explained in this video:However, the IMPORTANCE is: REMEMBER HIS WORD, so you DON'T charge Him FOOLISHLY and set your own self back!Timestamps:0:00-4:564:57-21:48 Topic 1: “Only Take Heed…”21:49-25:54 Topic 2: “Why Are You In Despair, O My Soul?”25:55-39:00 Topic 3: You MUST Encourage Yourself Along The Way!39:01-39:38 Closing.Apple, Spotify, & BuzzSprout Podcast @TamarTalks Socials Ministry www.tamarstestimony.com Instagram @tamarstestimony TikTok @tamarstestimony_YouTube @tamarstestimony

The Psalms refresh and inspire us as they keep our hearts focused upon God and all of His mighty works in creation and compassionate dealings with humanity.  In Psalm 103, David  seems to exhort himself to praise God and "to forget none of His benefits" which he sings about.  We should join David to "Bless the Lord, O my soul."

I relate an incident that happened earl in my born again experience (1977) that nearly sent me into shipwreck and ruin, But God's Grace delivered my from my fears and I could again say, "Return Unto Thy Rest, O My Soul;". Two songs: Hold My Hand Precious Lord and Amazing Grace.Psalms 116:1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. 2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. 3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. 4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. 5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. 6 The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. 8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
