Psalm 146 & 147

Hallelujah! You are my God; therefore, I am happy. You are my ever present help. My hope is in you, for you are my master. I bow before you. You raise me up. You sharpen me and clean me. You open my eyes so I can see, and you birth your kingdom in me.

I sing praise to you, my great, loving Father. You gather me up with your people from all over your creation. You heal my broken heart, and you bind up my wounds.

You, oh Lord, are great and mighty in power. Your understanding is tender, accurate, and eternal. I am humble before you, helpless without you, and you lift me up and guide me to be a useful vessel to you.

I fear you, Lord, with honor and respect, with a desire to live in obedience to you, with Jesus, your Christ, as my Lord and Master. You take pleasure in me, and you are merciful to me.

Praise you, my Lord!
