There are words and phrases from our Psalms series that stay with me, and that I hope to include in new poems, with references.
Mercy – “for his mercy endureth for ever”
Lovingkindness – “Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning”
before dawn
bird songs
in the yard
through an open
kitchen window
and I remember
to hear His
lovingkindness
in the morning
and I pray
may there be
mercy, love, and
kindness
in my heart
all day

Praise ye the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Psalm 148: 1
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
Psalm 147: 3 and 4

There are 150 Psalms, so our current series is almost complete – and only a small beginning.
The Psalms are a part of my life. Perhaps you know them well, and perhaps they are new for some readers.
When we reach Psalm 150, I will let the posts rest, and then reread. I would like to write about some of the themes: hope, love, mercy . . .
I am grateful for all who help with the pictures. You know the credits from the posts.
Thank you.
While I live will I praise the LORD:
I will sing praises unto my God
while I have any being.
Psalm 146: 2
