Two portraits of God

1 Praise the LORD ! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD.

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forever .

3 From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the LORD is to be praised.

4 The LORD is high above all nations ; His glory is above the heavens.

5 Who is like the LORD our God, Who is enthroned on high,

6 Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in heaven and in the earth ?

7 He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the needy from the ash heap,

8 To make them sit with princes, With the princes of His people.

9 He makes the barren woman abide in the house As a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD !

~ Psalm 113 NASB

Happy Friday & October 1st everyone!

Great thoughts on Greek & ministry. There is more to Greek than just word studies. We often hear word studies, but not syntax. Perhaps neither should be used a we speak English and not Koine Greek. Would you agree or disagree?
