Alive</strong></p> <p id="p2" data-pid="2" class="st"><strong>Highlights From Book Five of Psalms</strong></p> <p id="p3" data-pid="3" class="sb">THE rich may say: “Our sons are like little plants grown up in their youth, our daughters like corners carved in palace style, our garners full, . . . our flocks multiplying by thousands.” Moreover, the wealthy may exclaim: “Happy is the people for whom it is just like that!” In contrast, however, the psalmist says: “Happy is the people whose God is Jehovah!” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2006643/0/0" data-bid="1-1" class="b">Psalm 144:12-15</a>) How could it be otherwise? Jehovah is the happy God, and happiness is the lot of those worshipping him. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2006643/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">1 Timothy 1:11</a>) This truth is made evident in the final collection of divinely inspired songs, consisting of <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2006643/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Psalms 107 to 150</a>.</p> <p id="p4" data-pid="4" class="sb">Book Five of Psalms also highlights Jehovah’s superlative qualities, including his loving-kindness, trueness, and goodness. The more insight we gain into God’s personality, the more inclined we are to love and fear him. This, in turn, contributes to our happiness. What a valuable message we find in Book Five of Psalms!—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2006643/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Hebrews 4:12</a>.</p> <p id="p5" data-pid="5" class="ss"><strong>HAPPY BECAUSE OF JEHOVAH’S LOVING-KINDNESS</strong></p> <p id="p6" data-pid="6" class="ss"><strong>(</strong><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2006643/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b"><strong>Psalm 107:1–119:176</strong></a><strong>)</strong></p> <p id="p7" data-pid="7" class="sb">“O let people give thanks to Jehovah for his loving-kindness and for his wonderful works to the sons of men,” sing the exiled Jews returning from Babylonian captivity.

Moreover, no one would be left on the earth as a foundation for the new world.</p> <p id="p15" data-pid="15" class="sb"><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2006643/21/0" data-bid="22-1" class="b"><strong>119:71</strong></a><strong>—What could be good about suffering affliction?</strong> Hardship can teach us to rely more fully on Jehovah, to pray to him more earnestly, and to be more diligent in studying the Bible and applying what it says.

The 136th Psalm is composed for responsive singing, the last part of each verse being sung in response to the first.

By not being haughty at heart and lofty in eyes and by not going after things that were too great for him.
