PSALM 145 THE LORD PRESERVES ALL WHO LOVE HIM
14 The LORD upholds all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food in due season.
16 You open your hand;
you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways
and kind in all his works.
18 The LORD is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
19 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
he also hears their cry and saves them.
20 The LORD preserves all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.
21 My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD,
and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever. – Psalm 145:14-21

A RIGHTEOUS AND KIND GOD by ILMA
Our Lord God is full of empathy and compassion
He lifts up the hearts of those who are discouraged
He cares for every living thing he has created
He provides for their nourishment and all their needs
The Lord is righteous in everything he does and in all his ways
He is full of kindness and mercy and wants us all to be saved
But he especially preserves all those who love him
And because he is just, he needs to destroy evil
He fulfills the desires of those who obey and fear him
He listens to all their pleas and grant them mercy
The Lord is near to all those who call on him in truth
He protects and preserves those who are faithful.________________________________________

The Lord God is steadfast in his love and in his faithfulness
He is full of grace and always ready to extend his forgiveness
He is slow to anger and patient to all those who fear him
His kingdom lasts forever and his sovereignty endures infinitely.
All you children of God, declare his mighty works to all people
He is worthy to be praised and given honor and glory
There is no one else like God, who is a promise keeper
He is always just and true to his words; he is faithful.
All your good deeds reflect his mercy and grace

Every word he speaks and declares bring life and light
Seek his word and you will experience overflowing grace.

Keep in awe of him and constantly stay in his light

Speak of his steadfast love and his acts of kindness
Shout out loud all he has done especially his miracles
Pour out your praise to keep him glorified
Only bow down to his magnificence and majesty.
