v. 47 Save us, Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.
Yes, Lord, save us. Gather us in. Bring us to you. The world is ugly and broken in so many ways, and yet, you and you alone are beautiful. You alone provide us hope. I so quickly turn from you and forget your goodness. I try to provide for my own well-being. I try to make myself happy. It doesn't work. It doesn't last when I try to do this myself. Let me give thanks always to your holy name. Let me glory in your praise. Let me stand in the gap like Moses and Phinehas. To you I live, to me I am dead. Amen.
