WHY WE BLESS THE LORD

King David taught us how and why to bless the Lord. It is a model of praise and thanks:

“Therefore David blessed the LORD in the presence of all the assembly. And David said: “Blessed are you, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.” (1 Chronicles 29:10-13)

Yours, O Lord
Is the greatness
Is the power
Is the glory
Is the victory
Is the majesty

All in heaven and earth are yours.
Yours is the Kingdom.
You are exalted as head above all.
Both riches and honor come from you.
You rule over all.
In your hand is power and might.
In your hand is to make great.
In your hand is to give strength.

We thank you and praise your glorious name.

There you have it.

“I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to infants.” Jesus
