Unto My God. . .

While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

Psalm 146:2

Praise the Lord, almighty King;

Put not your trust in princes

To God all joyous praises sing

For the wisdom He evinces.

Put not your trust in princes

Our God alone has worth

For the wisdom He evinces

Provides for all the earth.

Our God alone has worth

The hungry man He feeds

Provides for all the earth

He wards off evil deeds.

The hungry man He feeds

And widows He upholds

He wards off evil deeds

With sovereignty He molds.

And widows He upholds

While making blind men see

With sovereignty He molds

New creations who are free.

While making blind men see

The Lord will reign forever

New creations who are free

With joy will serve Him ever.

The Lord will reign forever

To my God all praises sing

With joy men serve Him ever

And praise the Lord, almighty King!

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Psalm 146:3

I am not a real fan of the Psalms. Did you know that the Psalms were the original "Psalter". All 150 were memorized and recited by the Jews, Jesus Himself, and the first Christians. The Psalter is what inspired the creation of the Holy Rosary which still inspires prayer today almost 2000 years later.

Hi Catherine,
Thank you for bringing us a little background history to the Psalms. I am a fan of the Psalms, especially the ones full of praise and worship. What a mighty God we serve!

Whatever works for you Mark. I prefer actions over flowery words I guess.

I prefer actions over flowery words I guess.

Flowery words are a form of action. . . Words in the mouth of a sovereign God beget action. He speaks and it stands fast!
Thanks, Catherine J.
