Morning Psalm for Tuesday in the Fourth Week of Advent



Psalm 24

The earth is the LORD's and all that is in it, the world and all who dwell therein.

For it is he who founded it upon the seas and made it firm upon the rivers of the deep.


"Who can ascend the hill of the LORD? and who can stand in his holy place?"

"Those who have clean hands and a pure heart, who have not pledged themselves to falsehood, nor sworn by what is a fraud.



They shall receive a blessing from the LORD and a just reward from the God of their salvation."

Such is the generation of those who seek him, of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.


Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.


"Who is this King of glory?"  "The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in battle."

Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.


"Who is he, this King of glory?" "The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory."

Penny, yours is the third encounter with this psalm today, morning prayer lunchtime communion and now you.
It is a good one isn't it, otherwise Handel wouldn't have made so free with it.
Wonderful photograph of the bee inside the rose by the way.

Ray, it's the Psalm of the day, and it is a good one, so I guess that's why it's everywhere! I took the photo at Thanksgiving, when the sun came out for a bit and the roses released their fragrance and the bees came out like mad for just a half hour or so before going back to sleep. It was a lovely little while.
