I will praise the LORD!

Morning glory — photo by David KItz

Relent, LORD! How long will it be?     Have compassion on your servants. Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,     that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,     for as many years as we have seen trouble. May your deeds be shown to your servants,     your splendor to their children.

May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;     establish the work of our hands for us—     yes, establish the work of our hands.

  (Psalm 90:13-17, NIV)*
