We Praise Greatly

We offer all glory and praise to God, bowing our heads in reverence to the Lord who has rescued us from the turbulent waters that threaten to engulf us, as well as from the fiery storms of wrath that aim to extinguish our hopes and impede our journey toward fulfilling our divine purpose in holy ministry.

Let us rejoice in the love of the Almighty God, who made us in His image. We humbly kneel before You to affirm our faith and express our joyful praise—Hallelujah! Thank you, Father, for Jesus. Thank you for the gift of life, for our countless blessings,

and for the promise of eternal life for all believers.

Psalms 103 1-22

1 

Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

2 

Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—

3 

who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

4 

who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,

5 

who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 

The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

7 

He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:

Psalms 103 1-22

8 

The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.

9 

He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;

10 

he does not treat us as our sins deserve    or repay us according to our iniquities.

11 

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;

12 

as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

14 

for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.

15 

The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;

16 

the wind blows over it and it is gone,  and its place remembers it no more.

17 

But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their

children’s children—

18 

with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

19 

The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.

20 

Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.

21 

Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.

22 

Praise the Lord, all his works everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.

Psalms 150 1-6

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
