A Sacred Contemplation

Ps.145:3-7 (oh, how I love this chapter)

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
    his greatness no one can fathom.
 One generation commends your works to another;
    they tell of your mighty acts.
 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
    and I will meditate on your wonderful works.[b]
 They tell of the power of your awesome works—
    and I will proclaim your great deeds.
 They celebrate your abundant goodness
    and joyfully sing of your righteousness...

Great is the Lord and worthy to be praised indeed!

He, who knows all things...

Oh Lord, You know the truth

No need/good to smudge the ink

Or try to hide the living proof

Of what we want and think

Your gaze is undeterred

No vice or virtue veiled

Lord, let me tremble at Your word

Your Word has never failed

Oh Lord, you love us most

The Tempter hates when we

Make Your power in us our boast

With all humility

Lord, you resist the proud

Then, make us meek, I pray

I love you, Lord, for all You vowed

Will be just as You say

Isaiah 66:2

For all those things hath mine hand made,

 and all those things have been, saith the LORD:

 but to this man will I look, 

even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, 

and trembleth at my word.

Proverbs 13:13

Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: 

but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
