Wednesday, June 12th | Psalm 92

Passage:
1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praise to your name, Most High,
2 to declare your faithful love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,
3 with a ten-stringed harp
and the music of a lyre.
4 For you have made me rejoice, Lord,
by what you have done;
I will shout for joy
because of the works of your hands.
5 How magnificent are your works, Lord,
how profound your thoughts!
6 A stupid person does not know,
a fool does not understand this:
7 though the wicked sprout like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be eternally destroyed.
8 But you, Lord, are exalted forever.
9 For indeed, Lord, your enemies —
indeed, your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
10 You have lifted up my horn
like that of a wild ox;
I have been anointed with the finest oil.
11 My eyes look at my enemies;
when evildoers rise against me,
my ears hear them.
12 The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of the Lord,
they thrive in the courts of our God.
14 They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,
15 to declare, “The Lord is just;
he is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.” -- Psalms 92:1-15 (CSB)

Song:
Good to Give Thanks (Psalm 92) by Caroline Cobb Smith and Wendell Kimbrough

Lyrics:
It is good to give thanks to the Lord
It is good to give thanks to the Lord
To make music in His name
And to sing a song of praise

It is good to give thanks to the Lord
We will sing of His love in the morning
And His faithfulness in the night

On guitar and on the keys
Blow the horn and play the strings
It is good to give thanks to the Lord

Clap your hands, stomp your feet
Bang the drum, come on and sing
Tell the world of His great love
It is good to give thanks to the Lord

We are here to give thanks to the Lord
We are here to give thanks to the Lord
We are lifting up our hearts
All we have and all we are

'Cause it is good to give thanks to the Lord
Clap your hands, stomp your feet
Bang the drum, come on and sing
Tell the world of His great love

'Cause it is good to give thanks to the Lord
He has made us glad
He has made us glad
He has made us glad
He has made us glad
He has made us glad
He has made us glad

Clap your hands, stomp your feet
Bang the drum, come on and sing
Tell the world of His great love
It is good to give thanks to the Lord
It is good to give thanks to the Lord
It is good to give thanks to the Lord

Prayer:
Most loving Father, whose will it is for us to give thanks for all things, to fear nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on you who care for us: Preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested to us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
