Passage: 1 I will bless the LORD at all times;  his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul makes its boast in the LORD;  let the humble hear and be glad. 3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me,  and let us exalt his name together! 4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me  and delivered me from all my fears. 5 Those who look to him are radiant,  and their faces shall never be ashamed. 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him  and saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the LORD encamps  around those who fear him, and delivers them. 8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good!  Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! 9 Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints,  for those who fear him have no lack! 10 The young lions suffer want and hunger;  but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. (Psalm 34:1–10) Song: Psalm 34 (Taste and See) by Joseph James Rigney and Shane Barnard Lyrics: I sought the Lord and He answered me And delivered me from every fear Those who look on Him are radiant They'll never be ashamed They'll never be ashamed This poor man cried and the Lord heard me And saved me from my enemies The Son of God surrounds His saints He will deliver them He will deliver them Magnify the Lord with me Come exalt His name together Glorify the Lord with me Come exalt His name forever O taste and see that the Lord is good O blessed is he who hides in Him O fear the Lord O all you saints He'll give you everything He'll give you everything Let us bless the Lord Every day and night Never ending praise May our incense rise Prayer: O Lord, Let me not henceforth desire health or life except to spend them for you, with you, and in you. You alone know what is good for me; do therefore what seems best to you. Give to me, or take from me; conform my will to yours; and grant that, with humble and perfect submission, and in holy confidence, I may receive the orders of your eternal providence, and may equally adore all that comes to me from you. Amen. —Blaise Pascal

Study Passage: Psalm 1031 Bless the LORD, O my soul,and all that is within me,bless his holy name!2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,and forget not all his benefits,3 who forgives all your iniquity,who heals all your diseases,4 who redeems your life from the pit,who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,5 who satisfies you with goodso that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.6 The LORD works righteousnessand justice for all who are oppressed.7 He made known his ways to Moses,his acts to the people of Israel.8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.9 He will not always chide,nor will he keep his anger forever.10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,nor repay us according to our iniquities.11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;12 as far as the east is from the west,so far does he remove our transgressions from us.13 As a father shows compassion to his children,so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.14 For he knows our frame;he remembers that we are dust.15 As for man, his days are like grass;he flourishes like a flower of the field;16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,and its place knows it no more.17 But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlastingon those who fear him,and his righteousness to children's children,18 to those who keep his covenantand remember to do his commandments.19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens,and his kingdom rules over all.20 Bless the LORD, O you his angels,you mighty ones who do his word,obeying the voice of his word!21 Bless the LORD, all his hosts,his ministers, who do his will!22 Bless the LORD, all his works,in all places of his dominion.Bless the LORD, O my soul!

Psalm 103 The inspiration for 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman. Bless the Lord with all of you. Know all His benefits. Honor Him through your obedience.

Passage: Hallelujah! My soul, praise the Lord. 2 I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing to my God as long as I live. 3 Do not trust in nobles, in a son of man,[a] who cannot save. 4 When his breath[b] leaves him, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans die. 5 Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, 6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them. He remains faithful forever, 7 executing justice for the exploited and giving food to the hungry. The Lord frees prisoners. 8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord raises up those who are oppressed.[c] The Lord loves the righteous. 9 The Lord protects resident aliens and helps the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. 10 The Lord reigns forever; Zion, your God reigns for all generations. Hallelujah! Song: Put Not Your Hope in the Nation (https://open.spotify.com/track/6REeImTJOjU7WgXvEFCK7o?si=deeb873990fe436b) (Psalm 146) by Paul Zach and Wendell Kimbrough Lyrics: Put not your hope in the nation Put not your hope in a king Trust in the only one who opens eyes And sets the pris'ner free He is the maker of heaven He formed the earth and the sea Our help will come from the Lord our God Our gracious king of peace Praise the Lord Praise the Lord Praise the Lord O my soul Praise the Lord Praise the Lord Praise the Lord O my soul He is the hope of the hungry He is the Lord of the feast Our Father's house always opens wide To welcome refugees The fatherless find a Father The widow rests in His strength The heart of God is forever home To all the poor and weak Prayer: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. -St. Francis of Assisi

This Psalm is sung to the air ‘I Wish My Love was a Red, Red Rose,' and praises God's compassion and mercy. A song that is sweet and simple in some ways also explores the theme of forgiveness (“far as the east is from the west, so far God removes our sins”) and the finitude of our lives (“though all our days are like the grass that flourishes, then blows”), it remains grounded in the steadfast love of God that will remain far beyond our earthly existence.You can find lyrics, scores/books, mp3s, CDs for Bless the Lord, O My Soul on the Celtic Psalms webpage (www.celticpsalms.com)Listen to Kiran and Celtic Psalms on TEDxThe journal is available in paperback format on Amazon!Here's the link to the paperback journal (available globally), and if you would be so kind as to leave a review on the Amazon platform in your region, that will help other readers find it!

Passage: 8 Taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the person who takes refuge in him! 9 You who are his holy ones, fear the Lord, for those who fear him lack nothing. 10 Young lions lack food and go hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing. 11 Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 12 Who is someone who desires life, loving a long life to enjoy what is good? 13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech. 14 Turn away from evil and do what is good; seek peace and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry for help. -- Psalms 34:8-15 (CSB) Song: Psalm 34 (Taste and See) by Joseph James Rigney and Shane Barnard Lyrics: I sought the Lord and He answered me And delivered me from every fear Those who look on Him are radiant They'll never be ashamed They'll never be ashamed This poor man cried and the Lord heard me And saved me from my enemies The Son of God surrounds His saints He will deliver them He will deliver them Magnify the Lord with me Come exalt His name together Glorify the Lord with me Come exalt His name forever O taste and see that the Lord is good O blessed is he who hides in Him O fear the Lord O all you saints He'll give you everything He'll give you everything Let us bless the Lord Every day and night Never ending praise May our incense rise Prayer: Lord, my anxieties, shame, and discouragement come when I try to make my boast in other things than your goodness and unfailing love toward me. Teach me how to look to you and seek you until I know the radiance of your joy. Amen.

This week BibleWorm continues our summer series on creation care with Psalm 104, a profound text celebrating the magnificence of creation, which brings joy not only to the human heart but also to all creatures, from the birds in the trees to Leviathan in the deeps of the sea. We even see the celebratory nature of God, who whisks about on the clouds, wearing a fabulous cloak made of light and rejoicing in all that God has created. The psalm also reminds us of the harmonious relationship God intends for humans and animals, with humans working during the day and animals prowling at night so we can each live our lives fully, without being a danger to one another. All of this, the psalmist reminds us, should make us sing throughout our lives at the incomparable glory of creation. Bless the LORD, O my soul!

Psalm 104 English Standard VersionO Lord My God, You Are Very Great104 Bless the Lord, O my soul!    O Lord my God, you are very great!You are clothed with splendor and majesty,2     covering yourself with light as with a garment,    stretching out the heavens like a tent.3 He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters;he makes the clouds his chariot;    he rides on the wings of the wind;4 he makes his messengers winds,    his ministers a flaming fire.5 He set the earth on its foundations,    so that it should never be moved.6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment;    the waters stood above the mountains.7 At your rebuke they fled;    at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down    to the place that you appointed for them.9 You set a boundary that they may not pass,    so that they might not again cover the earth.10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys;    they flow between the hills;11 they give drink to every beast of the field;    the wild donkeys quench their thirst.12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;    they sing among the branches.13 From your lofty abode you water the mountains;    the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.14 You cause the grass to grow for the livestock    and plants for man to cultivate,that he may bring forth food from the earth15     and wine to gladden the heart of man,oil to make his face shine    and bread to strengthen man's heart.16 The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly,    the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.17 In them the birds build their nests;    the stork has her home in the fir trees.18 The high mountains are for the wild goats;    the rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.19 He made the moon to mark the seasons;    the sun knows its time for setting.20 You make darkness, and it is night,    when all the beasts of the forest creep about.21 The young lions roar for their prey,    seeking their food from God.22 When the sun rises, they steal away    and lie down in their dens.23 Man goes out to his work    and to his labor until the evening.24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!    In wisdom have you made them all;    the earth is full of your creatures.25 Here is the sea, great and wide,    which teems with creatures innumerable,    living things both small and great.26 There go the ships,    and Leviathan, which you formed to play in it.27 These all look to you,    to give them their food in due season.28 When you give it to them, they gather it up;    when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.29 When you hide your face, they are dismayed;    when you take away their breath, they die    and return to their dust.30 When you send forth your Spirit, they are created,    and you renew the face of the ground.31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;    may the Lord rejoice in his works,32 who looks on the earth and it trembles,    who touches the mountains and they smoke!33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;    I will sing praise to my God while I have being.34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,    for I rejoice in the Lord.35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth,    and let the wicked be no more!Bless the Lord, O my soul!Praise the Lord!English Standard Version (ESV)The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

December 31, 2023 Preparation for Worship Time for Gathering Opening Hymn “O God Our Help in Ages Past” O God our help in ages past our hope for years to come Our shelter from the stormy blast and our eternal home Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure Sufficient is Thine arm alone and our defense is sure Before the hills in order stood or earth received her frame From everlasting Thou art God to endless years the same A thousand ages in Thy sight are like an evening gone Short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun Time like an ever rolling stream bears all its sons away They fly forgotten as a dream dies at the op'ning day Our God our help in ages past our hope for years to come Be Thou our guard while troubles last and our eternal home Amen!
