Psalm 145 and 147

A few Sundays ago we read this in our services.  It is a compilation of Psalms 145 and 147 I put together to intro the song, "Healer," by PlanetShakers.

The Lord is merciful and compassionate,

    slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

The Lord is good to everyone.

      He showers compassion on all his creation.

All of your works will thank you, Lord,

      and your faithful followers will praise you.

The Lord always keeps his promises;

      he is gracious in all he does.

The Lord helps the fallen

      and lifts those bent beneath their loads.

The eyes of all look to you in hope;

      you give them their food as they need it.

When you open your hand, you satisfy the     

      hunger and thirst of every living thing.

The Lord is righteous in everything he does;

      he is filled with kindness.

The Lord is close to all who call on him,

      yes, to all who call on him in truth.

He heals the brokenhearted

      and bandages their wounds.

He grants the desires of those who fear him;

      he hears their cries for help and rescues them.

How good to sing praises to our God.

      How delightful and how fitting.
