Psalm 146 is a joyful song of encouragement in trusting God. It exhorts us to remind ourselves not only to trust God, but WHY we should trust God: all the wonderful things God does for us. Why NOT trust the One who meets every need and delivers from trouble those who obey and seek Him?
Psalm 147 is a song of praise to Messiah Jesus who fulfilled His mission on the Earth (Luke 4:17-21), upholds us all from His place in Heaven (Hebrews 1:13), and will complete His mission to come as well (Psalm 147:2; Hebrews 9:28). This psalm lists in detail what the Lord does for those to humble themselves, submit, and seek Him.
