This marks the beginning of the five “Hallelujah Psalms” that close the book of Psalms. Each of these psalms begins and ends with “Hallelujah.”
The claim here is to present ourselves to God and Him alone. There is no alternative to Him (Romans 12.1-2). What follows through the rest of this psalm, verses 3-10, are reasons for us to present ourselves to Him.
Since you are called to imitate God, based on this psalm, what would your life look like? If we are called to do this ministry, what part does government play in our life? Is government meant to be only the enforcer of laws (Romans 13)? If the church did her part, which means all individual Christians, then the social needs of mankind would be met. What happened?
