Psalm 111

He's walking us through the propers for the 23rd Sunday after Trinity.

We will come to our appointed psalm, Psalm 111, next.

Revelation, contrary to what many think, is not a book written to terrorize but to comfort.

Like a spiral staircase, it drives us upward and onward, showing us the grand culmination of history and how it ends in overflowing joy before the throne of God and the Lamb.

We're walking through the Proverbs for the 23rd Sunday.

Take us into Psalm 111.

So if you're ready, we're going to go ahead and jump right into God's word.

Psalm 111 verse one says this, praise the Lord.

He says, He has shown his great power to his people by giving them the lands of other nations.

All he does is just and good, and all his commandments are trustworthy.

Psalm 110, 11.

Psalm 111, verse 10.

Psalm 115, verse 11.

Proverbs 8, 13 and loads more in the Bible.

The Word of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 111 How great are the works of the Lord! Majesty and glory are His work, and His justice endures forever.

Gracious and merciful is the Lord.

Yea, many a time turned he his anger away and did not stir up all his wrath.

And we could go on and look at Psalms 86 and Psalms 111 and Psalm 112 and Psalm 145.

Time and time again, the compassion of God toward man was manifest.

And I believe those examples help us to see God's compassion to man is not limited to those under the New Covenant, the New Testament in which we live today.

Amen.

Psalm 111 I will give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart, secretly among the faithful and in the congregation.

The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

His work is worthy to be praised and had in honour, and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Thank you for listening.

Always remember Psalm 111, verse 2.

Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them.
