In this Psalm, the importance of worshipping the Lord is proclaimed. Not only should we praise God, but also we should "Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him." This verse tells us that seeking out the Lord will lead us to him and his strength. As a benefit, the Lord will share his strength with us. That is why it is important to seek him out continually. We can call on his strength when we need to.
In verse 5, it goes on to say,"Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given". What I take from this verse is that if you follow the rules he has given, then you are more to experience his wonders and miracles.
Also, this Psalm talks about God's relationship with his chosen people. It says of the chosen ones, "they were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan. They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. Yet he did not let anyone oppress them." This shows that God will protect those who follow him and who try to follow the rules he has laid out for us. We are like the chosen ones. When we are born we are small and helpless. God watches over us and nurtures us as we grow older. If we continue to walk along God's path, then he will protect us from harm until we reach the promised land. I like that.
