A Psalm for Katrina refugees

Blo read this to us Sunday night at the IHOP mini-moot.

God is faithful. This is a great reminder.

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,

whose hope is in the Lord his God,

who made heaven and earth,

the sea, and all that is in them,

who keeps faith forever;

who executes justice for the oppressed,

who gives food to the hungry.

The Lord sets the prisoners free;

the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.

The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;

the Lord loves the righteous.

The Lord watches over the sojourners;

he upholds the widow and the fatherless,

but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.

The Lord will reign forever,

your God, O Zion, to all generations.

Praise the Lord!

– Psalm 146:5-10 (ESV)

May the Lord lift those who are bowed down, watch over the sojourners, uphold those who have lost parents, husbands, wives, children.

Winds blow, waves rise, rains lash, buildings crumble, our works fade. The Lord will reign forever, and He will make all things right.

Blessed be His name.

  1. Here is another:

    Psalm 145:14-19

    14 The LORD upholds all who fall,

    And raises up all who are bowed down.

    15 The eyes of all look expectantly to You,

    And You give them their food in due season.

    16 You open Your hand

    And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

    17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways,

    Gracious in all His works.

    18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him,

    To all who call upon Him in truth.

    19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;

    He also will hear their cry and save them.
