God of eternal wisdom, you alone
impart the gift of right judgment. Grant us an understanding heart, that we may
value wisely the treasure of your kingdom and gladly forgo all lesser gifts to
possess that kingdom’s incomparable joy. We make our prayer through our Lord
Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen
1 Praise the Lord!
Let all that I am praise the Lord.
2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live.
I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.
2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live.
I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.
3 Don’t put your
confidence in powerful people;
there is no help for you there.
4 When they breathe their last, they return to the earth,
and all their plans die with them.
5 But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
6 He made heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
He keeps every promise forever.
7 He gives justice to the oppressed
and food to the hungry.
The Lord frees the prisoners.
8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down.
The Lord loves the godly.
there is no help for you there.
