Those who reach out to Him seeking salvation can find it. Because of these attributes, David declares his intent to worship God, calling on every other person to join him.
Chapter Context:
This psalm is an acrostic: each verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Only the letter nun is skipped. This song strongly magnifies the concept of praising God. Themes mentioned here are found in the other psalms, but they are concentrated in this specific song. Paul used a concept from this psalm when he preached at the Areopagus (Acts 17:27).
Book Summary:
The book of Psalms is composed of individual songs, hymns, or poems, each of which is a ''Psalm'' in and of itself. These works contain a wide variety of themes. Some Psalms focus on praising and worshipping God. Others cry out in anguish over the pain of life. Still other Psalms look forward to the coming of the Messiah. While some Psalms are related, each has its own historical and biblical context.
