So do not fear,for I am with you;

do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

Hallelujah.

It is good to chant hymns to our G-d;

it is pleasant to sing glorious praise.

Tehillim/Psalms 147.1

***I love posting to this blog. Singing the Psalms is a powerful prayer and sustainer of one’s spirit. Even though there are few visitors to this site, it is special to me. I will, however, have to take a hiatus due to the mounting demands of graduate school. I will most probably not be back with any regularity till the latter part of April.  Keep praying and singing the Palms and if you like, check in on my primary blog (Inspired Vision) from time to time. I will continue posting there but on a very reduced schedule. Enjoy the remainder of spring and I will see you again in the spring.

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!

Praise your God, O Zion!…

He gives snow like wool;

He scatters the frost like ashes.

He casts forth His ice as fragments,

Who can stand before His cold?

He sends forth His word and melts them

He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.

Tehillim/Psalm 147:12-18

May the Lord answer you in time of trouble,

the name of Jacob’s G-d keep you safe.

May He send you help from the sanctuary,

and sustain you from Zion.

May He receive the tokens of all your meal offerings,

and approve your burnt offerings.  Selah

May He grant you your desire,

and fulfill your every plan.

May we shout for joy in your victory,

arrayed by standards in the name of our G-d.

May the Lord fulfill your every wish.

Tehillim/Psalms 20.2-6

Protect me and save me;

let me not be disappointed,

for I have sought refuge in You.

May integrity and uprightness watch over me,

for I look to You.

O G-d, redeem Israel from all its distress.

Tehillim/Psalms 25.20-22

He humbled their hearts through suffering;

they stumbled with no one to help.

In their adversity they cried to the Lord,

and He rescued them from their troubles.

He brought them out of deepest darkness,

broke their bonds asunder.

Let them praise the Lord for His steadfast love.

Tehillim/Psalms 107.12-15a

You are the Holy One enthroned,

the Praise of Israel.

In You our fathers trusted;

They trusted and You rescued them.

To You they cried out and they escaped;

in You they trusted and were not disappointed.

And from the ground the Lord G-d caused to grow

every tree that was pleasing to the sight and good for food,

with the Tree of Life in the middle of the garden,

and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

O G’d, my vindicator!

You freed me from distress;

have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

While the earth remains,

Seedtime and harvest,

And cold and heat,

And summer and winter,

And day and night Shall not cease.
