You might think that people living 3000 years ago, without indoor plumbing, or media, or cars, or conveniences would live a pretty drab existence, without much happiness. What we do see however, throughout the Bible, especially in Psalms, is that David and those who sang these Psalms, experienced a level of happiness in God that many today, do not have, yet desperately need. Psalms 145 is one of those Psalms that is good one to read often because it stirs up the kind of thoughts and feelings about God, that are really good to have.
