An orchard and vineyard hillside in full leaf with a stone-lined well and a small walled town across the valley, nobody working it.

He has shown His people the power of His works

by giving them the inheritance of the nations.

The works of His hands are truth and justice;

all His precepts are trustworthy.

They are upheld forever and ever,

enacted in truth and uprightness.

He has sent redemption to His people;

He has ordained His covenant forever;

holy and awesome is His name.

Pray

Count three

Thank God for three works of His you have seen yourself. Name each one out loud, as this psalm does. Then pray: “Great are the works of the LORD.” Help me not to forget them. Amen.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;

all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding.

His praise endures forever!
