My soul cleaveth unto the dust:
quicken thou me according to thy word.

My soul melteth for heaviness:
strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

I will run the way of thy commandments,
when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

Give me understanding,
and I shall keep thy law;
yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,
and not to covetousness.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts:
quicken me in thy righteousness.

Psalm 119:25-40

I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

Psalm 145

Extol? What’s that?

“To praise highly”

Oh. OK.

So for what shall I extol God?

For one, everything still works right this morning, as far as I can tell.

Well, continuing in Psalm 145:

The Lord is gracious,
and full of compassion;
slow to anger,
and of great mercy.

The Lord is good to all:
and his tender mercies are over all his works.

The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

The eyes of all wait upon thee;
and thou gives them their meat in due season.

The Lord is righteous in all his ways….

The Lord is nigh
unto all them that call upon him….

He will fulfil the desire of the them that fear him….
