The Evening Psalm for Today

Psalm 138

A David psalm

¹Thank you! Everything in me says “Thank you!”

Angels listen as I sing my thanks.

²I kneel in worship facing your holy temple

and say it again: “Thank you!”

Thank you for your love,

thank you for your faithfulness;

Most holy is your name,

most holy is your Word.

³The moment I called out, you stepped in;

you made my life large with strength.

⁴When they hear what you have to say, God,

all earth’s kings will say “Thank you.”

⁵They’ll sing of what you’ve done:

“How great the glory of God!”

⁶And here’s why: God, high above, sees far below;

no matter the distance, he knows everything about us.

⁷When I walk into the thick of trouble,

keep me alive in the angry turmoil.

With one hand

strike my foes,

With your other hand

save me.

⁸Finish what you started in me, God.

Your love is eternal—don’t quit on me now.

And thank you all for your comments on this blog. It keeps my old noggin’ working. May you have a blessed day.
