God is telling Ezekiel that as the prophet he has to give his warnings to the people and if Ezekiel does not do as God wishes then he will suffer. I feel like we have heard a similar story before, and I am not sure if it was at the beginning of Ezekiel or if it was a previous prophet.
We should praise the awesomeness of God. One of the lines that they want us to focus on in this psalm is "they sing praises to your name," which serves as a reminder that we should be singing God's praises. I believe that is meant to be literal. We should praise God for all that he does in our lives.

I think it was in this book. I remember it as well. What I got from this chapter though is similar to the reading before. That he is to tell the people to turn from evil and if they do then they will be saved and so will he, but if he doesn't warn them and they continue doing evil then he will suffer. Also, if the people are good and start turning to evil, they will suffer.
This does sound like a psalm of praise to God, sharing for others to hear.
