Psalms 104

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

    O Lord my God, you are very great!

You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

²     covering yourself with light as with a garment,

    stretching out the heavens like a tent.

³ He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters;

he makes the clouds his chariot;

    he rides on the wings of the wind;

⁴ he makes his messengers winds,

    his ministers a flaming fire.

⁵ He set the earth on its foundations,

    so that it should never be moved.

⁶ You covered it with the deep as with a garment;

    the waters stood above the mountains.

⁷ At your rebuke they fled;

    at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.

⁸ The mountains rose, the valleys sank down

    to the place that you appointed for them.

⁹ You set a boundary that they may not pass,

    so that they might not again cover the earth. (read the whole thing)

My favorite hymn today - Before the Throne of God Above

1 Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea,
A great High Priest whose name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.

My name is graven on his hands,
My name is written on his heart;
I know that while in heav'n he stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart,
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

2 When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see him there
Who made an end of all my sin.

Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me,
To look on him and pardon me.

3 Behold him there! The risen Lamb,
My perfect, spotless righteousness;
The great unchangeable "I AM,"
The King of glory and of grace!

One with himself I cannot die,
My soul is purchased by his blood;
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Savior and my God,
With Christ, my Savior and my God!
