A Song About Our Good God
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destraction; who crown-eth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies.
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgression from us.
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so be flourisheth.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
—Psalms.
The sweet joys of home—even in a shack—can never be equaled by all the luxuries of palaces.
Rules Of Right Living
Help the weak if you are strong,
Love the old if you are young,
Own a fault if you are wrong,
If you are angry, hold your tongue.
