('O Jesus, I have promised')
Psalm 98
********
Sing to the LORD a new song
Make praises all life long
He marvellous things has done
Has saved us through His Son
His right hand, His holy arm
Has kept us free from harm
And has gained Him victory
His power displayed we see
The LORD His salvation made known
Has openly it shown
His righteousness by heathen seen
Not hidden, small, or mean
He has remembered truth, mercy
To house of Israel, see
Ends of the earth His salvation
Have seen, e'en each nation
Make joyful noise to Him, praise
All the earth His name raise
Make loud noise, sing, praise, rejoice
You have made Him your choice
Sing to Him with with harp and psalm
He shall bring peace and calm
With trumpets, sound of cornet
He faithful, praise Him yet
He is the LORD, King of all
Will hear who on Him call
Let the sea roar, all therein
Its fulness, now begin
Some song of praise, floods join too
To clap their hands anew
Hills, all nature joyful be
He Lord eternally
Praise Him, the Lord comes to judge
The earth, all wrong must budge
With righteousness shall judge, so
The world His just ways know
The people with equity
He shall judge, bold and free
Have mercy Lord, little we
But you Lord Almighty

That is very uplifting. I always enjoy a good psalm. Keep praising.
Persistence is key
Thanks Forever.
'Make praises all life long' reminded me to be more 'praiseful' with all the people around me too. It is amazing what a few words of praise can do. Thanks for reminding me.
Thanks Fred. Whether we (or I) do it all the time, is another thing. I suppose it's one thing to write something, and another thing to do it 'continually'.
Praise Him indeed Orci.
Thanks Gold. The Psalm is 'Cantate Domino' in some traditional Prayer Books. Nothing to do with dominoes though! lol.
