Ch. 226 - To This Day

'My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure. I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone. Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.'
[Psalm 71:15-17]

7. September 2010 Edit:

This is a psalm of supplication and praise. I've actually been thinking lately about how it is easy for us to bless God with our praise and worship after He has done something in our favor, answered our prayers, etc. But really, we should be swift to praise Him before and throughout our time of supplication. It should be continuous. Imagine a life lived doing exactly what the above verses state.

Telling of His righteousness.
Proclaiming His mighty acts.
Declaring His marvelous deeds.

What a testament to the belief that our Lord God is sovereign.
