While Psalms 150 does not directly mention Christ, it sets the stage for the worship that Christ deserves as the Creator and Redeemer of the world. In (Psalms 150:2), the psalmist calls to praise God for His mighty acts, which can be seen as a precursor to the ultimate mighty act of salvation through Jesus Christ. The universal call to praise in (Psalms 150:6) anticipates the day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. (John 1:1 · Ephesians 3:21)
