2. The psalmist is right God is awesome. How should we respond to the awesomeness of God? We have God Bumps, It’s a God Moment, It’s a God sighting, God feeling, God is in the House”

• The psalmist says "-- "Make a joyful noise to God/the LORD"

• other psalms say"Shout to God with loud songs of joy"),

• 81:1 ("Shout for joy to the God of Jacob"), 95:1

• ("Make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation," and 98:6 ("Make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD"). It is clear the psalm says " make noise"[1] … Shout for joy to God, all the earth! [2] Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.

• The command to make a joyful noise to God means the human inhabitants of the known world.

• God Bumps happen when we encounter something greater than ourselves

• God Bumps happen when we acknowledge what He did 4Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, 5But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. 7He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken.B 9He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
