This is the very last psalm in the Book of Psalms. Like the four before it, this psalm begins and ends with, “Praise the Lord!”
Twelve of the poem’s 13 lines begin with the word “Praise.” The odd line is, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
After responding to all 150 psalms — one each weekday since September 1, 2023 — I’m all out of breath, but I kept my word.
Tomorrow, on Good Friday, I’ll explain for the first time who prompted this project, why I saw it to its end, and what I got from it.
