Adapted from Psalm 147
Praise God! Hallelujah!
What joy to sing praises to God.
God is gracious.
God heals the broken-hearted and bandages their wounds.
God numbers the stars, giving each a name.
Downtrodden, oppressed, rejected, ignored?
God will lift you up even as your oppressors experience the natural consequences of their injustice.
Let us sing to God! Let us make music!
God covers the heavens with clouds, prepares rain for the earth, makes grass grow on the hills.
We may plant and tend, but God makes all things grow.
Let us revere and worship our God!
Praise God! Hallelujah!
