Litany of Praise for the Gifts of God
(Psalm 6 5 :1 , 5 -1 3 )
What mighty praise belongs to You, O God!
You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds;
You are the hope of whole wide world.
You formed the mountains by Your power,
and armed Yourself with mighty strength.
You calmed the roaring seas with their pounding waves,
and silenced the shouting of the nations.
Even those who live at the far ends of the earth
stand in awe of Your wonders.
From where the sun rises to where it set,
You inspire shouts of joy!
What mighty praise belongs to You, O God!
You take care of the earth and water it,
making it rich and fertile.
The rivers of God will not run dry;
they provide a bountiful harvest of grain,
for You have ordered it so.
You drench the prepared ground with rain,
breaking up its clods,
softening it with showers,
blessing its yield.
What mighty praise belongs to You, O God!
You crown the year with Your good gifts;
the places where You have passed overflow with abundance:
the wilderness becomes a lush pasture,
the hillsides blossom with joy,
the meadows are covered with flocks,
and the valleys are clothed with wheat.
They all shout and sing together for joy!
What mighty praise belongs to You, O God!
