Tune: Laudate Dominum

('O praise ye the Lord')

Psalms 145 - 150 parts

*********

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised

His greatness unsearchable, hymns be raised

One generation shall praise His works unto

Another, and sing His mighty acts anew

 

Teh Lord is gracious, full of compassion

Slow to anger, great mercy to each one

The Lord is good to all, His tender mercies

Are over all His works, the captives He frees

 

Put not trust in man, in him no help be

He lives for a while, temporarily

But happy are they who the Lord God have for

Their help, He eternal, comes to our aid sure

 

Great is our Lord, and He be of great power

His understanding infinite each hour

He lifts up the meek, casts wicked to the ground

Sing to the Lord with thanks, let praises resound

 

Praise the Lord, earth, sea, sky, where'er you be

Bring voices, instruments, join joyfully

Let all things that have breath unite in accord

To praise the Almighty and eternal Lord

    Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?

        It's that slow to anger part that I worry about along with casting the wicked to the ground. This does not bode well. Good write Orchi

          Thanks SB. Yet it's said elsewhere that it's us humans who should be slow to anger.
          KP casts herself to the ground, when begging me for more botox money! lol.

          Beautiful message, especiall the last stanza where everything comes together "unite in accord", where we all should be. Happy Weekend Orchi!

              I'm impressed that you held it for 24 hours, have you notified Guinnes, that's probably a world record. lol
