Probably THE word Easter is Alleluia, or the Hebraic
version of the word, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah means, “Praise the Lord.” As you read this Psalm
you are saying, “Hallelujah!” over and over again.
Notice the way that the Psalm calls everything to praise
the Lord. All of Creation joins in praising Him, and that praise revolves
around two things – that God created everything and that he has raised a horn
for his people.
That second item might seem a little strange to us. What does
it mean to raise a horn? In the Old Testament a horn is a symbol of strength,
power, and salvation.
We praise the Lord for Creation and Salvation.
Praise the Lord! O
God, you are our Creator and our Savior. Help us to praise you in everything,
to make your name known, and to live in the joy of all your goodness and
blessings. Amen.
