“Praise the Lord! Let all that I am praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly.
How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension! He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.
He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His unfailing love. He sends His orders to the world— how swiftly His word flies!”
{Psalms 146:1-2, 7-8; Psalms 147:5, 3, 10-11, 15}
