Episode 13: Thank God - Psalm 9:1-10

What does it really mean to say, “Thank God” or “Praise God”? Are these just common phrases Christians use, or do they reflect something deeper?

In this episode of Refuge & Strength, previously known as Getting To Know God, Pastor b.Side begins a four-part study through Psalm 9 by examining the first ten verses of David’s song of praise. As David reflects on God’s righteous judgments, faithfulness, mercy, and eternal nature, we discover that genuine gratitude toward God is rooted in knowing who He is—not merely appreciating what He does for us.

Join us as we explore why David praised God with his whole heart, what it means to know the name of the LORD, and how God’s judgments reveal His righteousness, mercy, and faithfulness. Learn how a deeper understanding of God’s character naturally leads to sincere worship, heartfelt thanksgiving, and greater trust in Him.

If you've ever wondered where true worship comes from, Psalm 9 provides the answer: the more we know God according to His Word, the more compelled we become to praise Him for who He is.
