The book ends ends on a joyous note with the simple psalm listed above. It reminds us that we should always be engaged in worship. It is why we were created, and no one is exempt from the command. When you read through the book, the writers of the various Psalms demonstrate how it is possible to praise the Lord regardless of your circumstances, so we really have no excuse!

We rather enjoy grumbling. Sad. But true. If you don't believe me, just read the Scripture and make a mental note of the numerous times God's people get caught up in grumbling.
