Yesterday I posted my psalm of lament. Today I give you my Psalm of praise:
My God,
You have favored me despite my many iniquities.
You have lifted me up, forgiving my disobedience.
You saw me mired in darkness and despair
And shone the light of Your kindness on my face.
You gave my wandering steps a clear-marked path
And held my wounded heart within Your healing hands.
I will praise You with my singing, Lord!
I will extol Your glories in the marketplace!
You have drawn my barren arms around the motherless;
The fatherless You have given into my care.
The day is not long enough for me to praise You!
The night ends before I can speak adequately of Your grace!
My heart bursts within me at the thought of Your lovingkindness
And my tongue stumbles to describe Your holiness.
Your mercy, Lord, who can articulate?
Your gifts, O Lord, who can repay?
Give me words, my God, to praise Your name.
Grant me strength to worship You,
Even when the world is silent.
Empower me to sing Your glory
Even in the darkest night.
