Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles!
Laud Him, all you peoples!
For His merciful kindness is great toward us,
And the truth of the LORD endures forever.
Praise the LORD!—Psalm 117:1-2
This morning grief and sadness overwhelm my heart. The walls of ongoing, long-lasting, heart stopping sorrow have closed in and my heart feels crushed. My hope in my God, however is strong...my Immanuel is with me. He will never...no, not ever, leave me or forsake me. His will for me is good and He changes not. He will perfect that which concerns me and make my crooked places straight. He will enlarge my path under me, so my feet will not slip. I WILL rejoice in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills.
The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.—Psalm 28:7
I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.—Psalm 69:30
