  • Psalm 67

    . . . so that your way may be known
    on earth,
    your salvation among all nations.

    God has richly blessed me:

    • His mercy has provided salvation, spiritual security.
    • His grace flows to provide every need I have.
    • His love is reflected in the family, friends, and in the fellowship of His Church.

    I join my voice, my life, my energy, my being to the chorus of the faithful:

    • Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
    • He is worthy to receive power, glory, honor.
    • I lift my hands, heart, head, and life in this chorus of praise to almighty God and to Jesus Christ our Lord.

    To God by the glory! Great things He has done.

    May all the world know through our praise!

  • Psalm 48

    God, within your temple,
    we contemplate your faithful love.
    Like your name, God, so your praise
    reaches to the ends of the earth;
    your right hand is filled with justice.

    It is in moments of worship that I most often am reminded of God’s faithful love – that essential quality from which pours His mercy, establishing His grace, sustaining His redemption. And, in His name, His reputation, His character, His very being: praise arises! From throughout all His creation.

    Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

    From here to there – everywhere we might see, travel, or imagine. And as He is praised, His justice arises with Him.

    Essential as His faithful love, so too, His justice rides forth in His creation to accomplish His purpose!

  • Psalm 47

    Clap your hands, all you peoples;
    shout to God with a jubilant cry.
    For the LORD, the Most High,
    is awe-inspiring . . .

    A call to worship – but more – a vision of of the joy, the rapture, the pleasure of God’s people – all His peoples, joining together in raucous worship.

    Celebrate our LORD, Most High!

    He is the King.

    His glory is unmatched.

    He shall receive the praise, glory, and worship of all.

    Even the leaders of all nations belong to Him and will, in one glorious, cacophonous moment, praise Him in His glory.

    He is greatly exalted.

    Let’s worship!

  • Psalm 29

    The voice of the LORD is
    above the waters,
    The God of glory thunders –
    The LORD, above the vast water.

    Our Lord God is enthroned above the vast expanses of heaven and earth. His voice declares His glory and resonates to all who are below.

    He is seen in the power of the great sea; in the loud thunder; through the electric flare of the storm.

    Yet, His powerful presence delivers peace to His people.

    Calm assurance of His majestic reign.

    Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
    . . . the glory due his name.
