Ezekiel 9: 1-7, 10: 18-22; Ps 113;
Matthew 18:15-20

Praise the Lord

Alleluia! The opening word sum up this short psalm. What the psalm lacks in length it more than makes up for in praises to God. “His glory transcends the heavens!” “Enthroned so high, he needs to stoop to see the sky and earth!” What imagery and passion the psalmist conveyed. This was the prayer said before the Passover in thanks to God for redeeming his people and giving them hope for the future. Lord, we praise you and thank you for all the blessings you bestow upon us.
