How 'bout that Psalm at Morning Prayer today?!
Preach, Psalmist!
PSALM 146
1
Hallelujah!
Praise the LORD, O my soul! *
I will praise the LORD as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
2
Put not your trust in rulers, nor in any child of earth, *
for there is no help in them.
3
When they breathe their last, they return to earth, *
and in that day their thoughts perish.
4
Happy are they who have the God of Jacob for their help! *
whose hope is in the LORD their God;
5
Who made heaven and earth, the seas, and all that is in them; *
who keeps his promise for ever;
6
Who gives justice to those who are oppressed, *
and food to those who hunger.
7
The LORD sets the prisoners free;
the LORD opens the eyes of the blind; *
the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down;
8
The LORD loves the righteous;
the LORD cares for the stranger; *
he sustains the orphan and widow,
but frustrates the way of the wicked.
9
The LORD shall reign for ever, *
your God, O Zion, throughout all generations.
Hallelujah!

spectacular! ecstatic! Halleluiah!
My favorite: I chose it for my ordination service.
As the kids said last Sunday after the childrens' "sermon" : "Yay, God!"
Yes, that's a good one.
