Praise samples

April 22, 2008

I like to come across places in the Bible where the Spirit of God comes over people, and they begin to praise God for His greatness, His goodness, His sovereignty, and His supremacy.  Here are some samples:

He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.  There is no god with Him: He kills, and He makes alive; He wounds, and He heals: neither is there any that can deliver out of His hand.  For He lifts up His hand to heaven and says, ‘I live forever’.  We have heard of Him with the hearing of the ear: but when our eyes see Him, we abhor ourselves and repent in dust and ashes.  The most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever He will.  And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and He does according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and no one can stop His hand, or ask Him what He’s doing.  My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my saviour.  He that is mighty has done to me great things, and holy is His Name.  His mercy is on them that fear Him from generation to generation.  He has shown strength with His arm and scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.  He has put down the mighty and exalted them of low degree.  He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty.  He can do everything, and no thought can be hidden from Him.    Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!  For who has known the mind of the Lord?  or who has been His counselor?  Or who has first given to Him, and looked to receive it back.  For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to Whom be glory for ever. Amen
