Exodus 15:11; Psa 145:3; 106:2; Isa 40:15-17; Eph 3:20
|
O Heavenly Father, we bow our knees before You in worshipful submission and
acknowledge Your sovereign greatness. Who is a God like you, O LORD,
majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?
You are great, and greatly to be praised. Your greatness, O Lord, is
unsearchable. Who can utter Your mighty deeds or adequately declare Your praise?
All nations before You are like a drop in a bucket, or the dust on the
scales, and are accounted by You as less than nothing and emptiness. You are so
great that You can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or
think.

O Lord, You made the heavens.

is impossible. What You have promised You are able also to perform.

Your revelation of Yourself which inspires respectful fear is clean, enduring
forever. Your judgements, O Lord, are true and righteous altogether.

warned, and in keeping them there is great reward.

and they smoke. We will sing to You, O Lord, as long as we live. We will
sing praises to our God while we have our being.
May our meditation be sweet to You; we will be glad in the Lord.
|
|
Psalm 115
|
O God, the idols of the nations are silver and gold, they are vanity and a
lie, the work of human hands. Those who make them and those who trust in
them become like them: they have eyes and ears but they do not see and hear
Your truth;
they have feet but they do not walk in Your ways; they have hands but they
do not do Your deeds. But You, our God, made heaven and earth. The heaven,
even the heavens, are Yours, but the earth You have given to the children
of men.
You are our help and shield, and we will bless You from this time forth and
forevermore. Praise the Lord.

that it cannot pass beyond it. And though the waves toss to and fro, yet they
cannot prevail; though they roar, they cannot pass over it.
You also give both the autumn and the spring rains in their season,
and reserve for us the appointed weeks of harvest. All Your works praise You,
O Lord, and Your saints bless You and talk of Your power.
|

exercising and delighting in lovingkindness, judgment and righteousness
in the earth.
In You, O God, we boast all day long. We praise Your name for ever.
We bless You, O Lord, at all times. Your praise is continually in our mouth.
Our soul make its boast in You. When we glory, we glory in You.
|
|
Jeremiah 10:6-11
|
O Lord, there is none like You. You are great, and Your name is great in
might. Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For this is Your
rightful due. You are the true God, the living God, the everlasting King.
At Your wrath the earth will tremble, and the nations will not be able to
endure Your indignation. The gods that have not made the heavens and the
earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.
You, however, made the earth by Your power, established the earth by Your
wisdom and stretched out the heavens at Your discretion.
|
|

repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after
them. You are the Great, the Mighty God, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
You are great in counsel and mighty in work, for your eyes are open to all
the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and
according to the fruit of his doings.

It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the
Lord.
