Psalm X

Psalm X 1. Rejoice in the Lord all the earth; sing a psalm to His Name. Give Him glory and praise. 2. Say to God: How awesome are Your works, O Lord- in the midst of such wonderful greatness your enemies are only telling lies. 3. Let all the earth adore You and sing a psalm to Your Name. 4. Come, all you who fear God- listen, and I will tell you what He has done for my soul. 5. I cried to Him with my mouth- with His praise ready on my tongue; and He heard my voice from His Holy Temple, and my cry came into His presence. 6. Bless our God, all you nations, and let the voice of His praise be heard. 7. For every tribe on earth shall be blessed in Him, and all nations shall glorify Him. 8. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel who alone works wonders, and blessed shall be His magnificent Name forever, and the whole earth shall be filled with His Glory.

Tierce This, the tenth of Francis’ Psalms forms part of the office of Sext (EFO Prayer book) and is followed by Psalm XI. It is a song of praise to God and a witness to the nations. Come all you who fear God and I will tell you what he has done for my soul! God is worthy of praise and is forever glorified in the works of his hand and in the promises he has made to Israel. This glory promised by the prophets and echoed from the lips of his only begotten Son is the promise of salvation through a tiny child. See comment on the author of the Psalms: coming.
