Praise is essentially the acknowledging of God's virtues, qualities and attributes that He uniquely possesses. The names of God reveal aspects of His person and personality and a knowledge and understanding of His names not only helps us know Him better, but provides a broader vocabulary for those who would praise Him more, and more effectively. Consider the following covenant names of God linked to your reading of Psalm 103.
Jehovah - The Self-Exixtent One Who Reveals Himself
I am the Alpha and Omega, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty, says the
Lord - Rev. 1:8
Jehovah M'Kaddesh - The Lord Who Sanctifies
Bless the Lord, O my soul who pardons all your iniquities;
Jehovah Rophe - The Lord Who Heals
...Who heals all your diseases;
Jehovah Nissi - The Lord Our Banner, Our victory
...Who redeems your life from the pit;
Jehovah Shalom - The Lord Our Peace
...Who crowns your life with lovingkindness and compassion;
Jehovah Jireh - The Lord Our Provider
...Who satisfies your years with good things;
Jehovah Tsidkenu - The Lord Our Righteousness
...Who performs righteous deeds;
Jehovah Rohi - The Lord Our Shepherd
...Who is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in
lovingkindness;
Jehovah Shammah - The Lord Is Present

Psalm 103
