“And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison” (Acts 12:6).

“Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul” (Psalm 146:1).

Each of the last five psalms (146-150) begins and ends with: “Praise ye the LORD”—i.e., “Hallelujah.” They comprise a sort of “Hallelujah Chorus:” a grand epilogue to the five books which make up the complete book of Psalms.

Each of these five books also ends in a doxology. Note:

“(God) hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds” (Hebrews 1:2).

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search” (Psalm 77:5,6).

It is so easy to forget. The burdens and pressures of these present times easily drown out the voices of the past.

“But godliness with contentment is great gain” (I Timothy 6:6).
