Salutation
... in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen. Through the prayers of our
holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us. Amen. Glory
to You, our God, Glory to You.
O Heavenly King: Prayer to the Holy
Ghost
O
Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, You are everywhere and fill
all things, Treasury of blessings, and Giver of life: come and abide in us, and
cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.
Praise the Lord. I will praise the Lord with whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, the congregation.
The works of the Lord [are] great, sought out by
all those who have pleasure in them. His
work [is] honorable and glorious. His righteousness endures forever. He has made His wonderful works to be
remembered. The Lord [is] gracious and full of
compassion. He has given food to those
who fear Him. He will be ever mindful of
His covenant. He has showed His people
the power of His works, so that He may give them the heritage of the heathen.
The works of His hands [are] reality and judgment. All His commandments [are] sure. They stand fast forever
and ever. [They are] done in truth and uprightness. He sent redemption to His people. He has commanded His covenant forever. Holy and reverend [is] His name.
The fear of the Lord [is] the beginning of
wisdom. A good understanding have all those
who do [His commandments]. His praise endures forever.

If you have been
blessed or helped by any of these meditations in Psalms, please repost or share
all of them.
[1] The
great works of God are: His creation of the Universe; His ongoing provision for
that creation; and His Law given through Moses.
These great works are administered on earth by an eternal covenant,
which unfolds in history: Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the tribes of Israel,
Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus. Yes,
all these are pictures pointing to Jesus.
Solomon employs a latter verse of this Psalm, “The fear of the LORD [is]
the beginning of wisdom,” as the motto of Proverbs, where he unfolds the wise
nature of Jesus in great detail.
