Reflection on Psalm 19

89a27-psalm98praise

The stars call out

Praise to our God

The sun and moon

Adore Him

The birds of the air

Sing glorious hymns

And all creation

Bows down to the King.

Your word O God

Is finer than gold

You reveal yourself

Unmask the sins of men

You show the way to salvation

And lay out the path of holiness

I will praise you

With all my strength

And worship you

Reflection on Psalm 65

 

Psalm 98 Praise

 

Awesome God

Creator of all things

When our sins crowd in

You forgive us

and wipe them away.

 

You save us from enemies

And water the earth to bring

Harvest and beauty.

 

The land displays your glory

As every rut and track

River and creek

Flow with blessings

 

As the paddocks are covered with sheep

And the plains bursting with wheat

The whole earth is covered

With the glory of the Lord.

Reflection on Psalm 68:1-10

89a27-psalm98praise

Let God arise

His enemies be scattered

Like smoke before the wind.

Let God’s foes disappear.

You, O God, protect the weak

You love the poor and the orphans

Let those who sneer at you

Consider the work of your hands.

O God turn your enemies to friends

Confound and convince those who oppose you

Let godless thoughts be exposed

And unholy philosophies refuted.
