Scripture
Psalm 113:1-3
Verse 1
O sing my soul, your Maker's praise
In grateful hymns ascending;
Whose steadfast love has crowned your days
With heav'nly gifts unending.
I sought the Lord, He heard my cry;
His holy angels hover nigh
The tents of those who love Him.
Verse 2
The Lord is good to those who seek
His face in time of sorrow,
Pro'viding comfort to the weak
And grace for each tomorrow.
Though grief may tarry for a night,
The morn shall break in joy and light
With blessings from His presence.
Verse 3
The Lord will turn His face in peace
When troubled souls draw near Him;
His lovingkindness shall not cease
To those who trust and fear Him.
Our God will not forsake His own;
Eternal is His heav'nly throne;
His kingdom stands forever.
