If we were to write psalms today the language might be a little different, but the emotions would remain the same. Perhaps our psalms would be expressed something like this: A PSALM OF PRAISE 1. O Lord, I will praise you through all of my day; for you have given me so many reasons to praise. 2. I will praise you when I rise; for you have given me rest and breath. 3. I will praise when I eat my morning meal; for you have given me time before my family goes their ways. 4. I will praise you when I send my children to school; for you have given resources and intellect for them to learn. 5. I will praise you when I work; for you have given both ability and opportunity to produce. 6. I will praise you when I observe, though all too infrequent, the beauty of the trees and grass, the river and the park; for you have given a creation, though fallen, as a reminder of your majesty and love. 7. I will praise you when I return home; for you have given comfort and a love to share. 8. I will praise you when I lie down; for you have given me warmth and peace. 9. Yes, Lord, I will praise you through all of my day; and I will praise you for ALL of my days; for you have given me so many reasons to praise. 10. I will praise you in my youth; for you have given me strength and health and energy. 11. I will praise you in my mid years; for you have given me family and understanding of your ways. 12. I will praise you in my aging; for you have given guidance and protected me from selfish gain; 13. Lord, you are my love, my life, my all in all; I will praise you at the end; for you have given of yourself so I might live. 14. So I praise you all through my day and for all of my days; for you have given me so many reasons to praise.
