God's Passion for Your Praise
Page 1 [Page 2]
Deuteronomy
You are the Lord our God, God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe. You execute justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. (Deuteronomy 10:17-18 ESV) 1 Samuel My heart exults in the Lord; my strength is exalted in the Lord. My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation. “There is none holy like the Lord; there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from our mouths; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble bind on strength. Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn. The Lord kills and brings to life; He brings down to Sheol and raises up. The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and he exalts. He raises up the poor from the dust; He lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and on them he has set the world. “He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail. The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; against them He will thunder in heaven. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth; He will give strength to Your king and exalt the power of Your anointed, Jesus Christ. (1 Samuel 2:1-10 ESV) 1 Kings O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing steadfast love to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart (1 Kings 8:23 ESV) You overflow the earth with your goodness. Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You! (1 Kings 8:27 ESV) Job You, who loves justice, govern with the power of Your right hand. You do not condemn the righteous. You show no partiality to princes, nor regard the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of Your hands. In a moment they die; at midnight the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away by no human hand. “For Your eyes are on the ways of a man, and You see all his steps. There is no gloom or deep darkness where evildoers may hide themselves. For God has no need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment. You shatter the mighty without investigation and set others in their place. Thus, knowing their works, You overturn them in the night, and they are crushed. Job 34:16-25 ESV |
