Psalm 147


Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2 While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3 Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day his plans perish.
5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.
8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
The Lord raises those who are bowed down;
The Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.
10 The Lord shall reign forever—
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!

~Psalm 146 (New King James Version)

Treasures from Proverbs and Psalms

"How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!" -Proverbs 16:16 Psalm 90 A Prayer of Moses the man of God.   1  Lord, You have been our dwelling place   in all generations.   2  Before the mountains were brought forth,          Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,          Even from everlasting to everlasting, You  are  God.           3  You turn man to destruction,          And say, “Return, O children of men.”   4   For a thousand years in Your sight           Are  like yesterday when it is past,          And  like  a watch in the night.   5  You carry them away  like  a flood;   ...

Happenings in my home...

“The same Jesus Who turned water into wine can transform your home, your life, your family, and your future. He is still in the miracle-working business, and His business is the business of transformation.”    ~ Adrian Rogers “A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian… and most of all, his family ought to know.”     ~ D.
