Psalm 106:1-3
1 Praise the Lord!
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
2 Who can utter the mighty doings of the Lord
or declare all his praise?
3 Happy are those who observe justice,
who do righteousness at all times.
Comment: who can utter the mighty doings of the Lord or declare all his praise? (vs. 2). You can. Today, offer God praise for mighty works.
