Catechesis Notes for the Week —Psalm 108—A Song of Praise for God’s Kingdom Spread throughout the World—Psalm 108 begins with the familiar lyrics of the believer who gives thanks to God and praises Him for His salvation and for extending His kingdom into all the earth. From the Lord’s strong city (for us it is the Church), He extends His kingdom beyond the tribes of Israel and Judah into all the nations of the earth. The citizens of the Kingdom of God are often oppressed, but it is the Lord God who ultimately defends them, gives them help from trouble, and treads their enemies underfoot. Psalm 108 is a joyful song of praise to the Lord for His mission to the world.
