Psalm 8

Psalm 8

O Lord, our Lord,

How excellent is your name in all the earth,

Who have set Your glory above the heavens!

Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants

You have ordained strength,

Because Your enemies,

That You may silence the enemy and avenger.

When I consider Your heavens, the work of your fingers,

The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,

What is man that You are mindful of him,

And the son of man that You visit him?

For You have made him a little lower than the angels,

And You have crowned him

with glory and honor.

You have made him to have dominion over the works

of Your hands;

You have put all things under his feet

All sheep and oxen -

Even the beasts of the field,

The birds of the air,

And the fish of the sea

That pass through the paths of the seas.

O Lord, our Lord,

How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

Psalm 100

Psalm 100
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before his presence with singing,

Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and
not we ourselves;
We are his people the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with
thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless
His name.
For the Lord is good;

His mercy is everlasting And His truth endures to all generations.

(Here are some pictures from our hike to Iceburg Lake in Glacier Na' Park in Montana this summer. The first is Susanna sitting on an piece of ice that was floating on Iceburg Lake. Some are braver then others. The ranger had told us the water was 36 degrees the day before. Then next picture is 5 wild flowers amongst a meadow of alpine wild flowers. One of my favorite things in the mountains was the meadows filled with varieties of wild flowers. The last photo is Papa and Mama looking on to Iceburg Lake. Notice the bloomed flowers in the foreground and the ice in the back.)
