Psalm – In The Beginning God

A Song of Praise

My Lord and my God, how great Thou art!

How deep are Thy thoughts,
and how far above my understanding are Thy plans.
Thy knowledge passeth my sight;
Thy wisdom is higher than my thought.

I lift up mine eyes unto the heavens and behold their beauty.
I declare unto the mountains Thy glory and Thy greatness.
Their testimony is from the beginning,
declaring unto all people:
My Lord and my God, how great Thou art!

All things were created by Thy hands.
Wisdom standeth at Thy right hand,
and Knowledge is as Thy staff.
By Thy word were all things made;
Thou spakest, and it was—
the beauty seen and unseen.

I am humbled and in awe
when I behold the work of Thy hands.
I bow before Thy throne;
I sit in sackcloth and ashes.

My Lord and my God, how great Thou art!
My soul is overtaken by Thy glory;
my heart melteth before Thee.
My praise reacheth but unto the foothills;
my song is hid in the shadow of the mountains.
Oh, how I love to sing Thy praises!
My heart is comforted when I lift my voice
to sing and testify to Thy greatness.

My words fall short;
my song faileth.
My thoughts and understanding
are as nothing in the shadow of Thy greatness.

I rest in Thy salvation;
my soul findeth peace in Thy great redemption.
The great God who created heaven and earth—
He is my Lord and my Saviour.

Thy love is established for ever;
Thy mercy is from everlasting to everlasting.
Thy humility was before the foundation of the world.

My Lord and my God, how great Thou art!

Amen!
