Psalms 97 · Let the Earth Rejoice

1GOD is sovereign!Let the earth exult,the many islands rejoice!

2Surrounded by dense clouds—righteousness and justice are the base of the heavenly throne.

3Fire is the vanguard,burning up foes on every side.

4God’s lightnings light up the world;the earth is convulsed at the sight;

5mountains melt like wax at GOD’s presence,at the presence of the Sovereign of all the earth.

6The heavens proclaim God’s righteousnessand all peoples see God’s glory.

7All who worship images,who vaunt their idols,are dismayed;all divine beings bow down in homage.

8Zion, hearing it, rejoices,the towns of Judah exult,because of Your judgments, O ETERNAL One.

9For You, ETERNAL One, are supreme over all the earth;You are exalted high above all divine beings.

10O you who love GOD, hate evil!For the lives of the loyal are guarded;they are saved from the hand of the wicked.

11Light is sown for the righteous,radiance for the upright.

12O you righteous, rejoice in GOD and acclaim God’s holy name!

WEBREATH · 11:11

«Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD» — Psalm 150:6

Breath is one for all: everyone lives by it, whoever they are and whatever they believe. Every day at 11:11 local time people stop for sixty seconds, breathe, and thank GOD for the breath — each in their own words, each within themselves. In that minute we are One Breath.

WEBREATH — the Minute at 11:11, your own local time — we are One Breath
