How great are your works, Lord!

Today was my first Saturday of 40 Days for Life. That meant not only more supporters out praying for the babies, but also clinic escorts. Two showed up this morning.

Knowing this beforehand, I was pleased to find that the Divine Office this for today featured Psalm 92. It was quite a comfort this morning.






6 O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep. 7 The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.
8 When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever: 9 But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore. 10 For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
...
13 The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus. 14 They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God. 15 They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated, 16 That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
