UNROLL
One old date palm heavy with fruit, small and far off across the green floor of the Jordan valley, under a wide pale evening sky.

How Great Are Your Works!

A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.

It is good to praise the LORD,

and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning

and Your faithfulness at night

with the ten-stringed harp

and the melody of the lyre.

Lush green spring grass thick over a Judean hillside, a hot wind just starting to bend it, dry brown hills behind.

For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds;

I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

How great are Your works, O LORD,

how deep are Your thoughts!

A senseless man does not know,

and a fool does not understand,

that though the wicked sprout like grass,

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be forever destroyed.

0:21

Narrated by Bob Souer · BSB audio, public domain

But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

A dry thistle head bursting apart in a hot wind, its seed flung across a bare slope in hard light.

For surely Your enemies, O LORD,

surely Your enemies will perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;

with fine oil I have been anointed.

My eyes see the downfall of my enemies;

my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.

Pray

Pray it

Thank God out loud for one thing He has done this week, and name it, as the singer does. Then pray: Lord, You “have made me glad by Your deeds.” I sing for what Your hands have done. Amen.

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
