Psalm 113 from Nan Merrill’s Psalms for Praying

Sing praises to the Beloved

of all hearts!

Sing praises, all you who would

honour Love,

sing praises to the Architect

of the universe!

Bless the Holy One from this time

forth

and forever more!

Aspire to know the Unknowable,

to enter fully into the

Great Mystery,

to be fertile ground to the

Heart-seed of Love.

Aspire to gifts of the Spirit,

be open to Grace and express

gratitude!

Who is like the Blessed One,

the One who is Infinite Love,

Power and Wisdom,

Who enters into human hearts

and brings comfort to those

in need?

Yes, those who call upon the

Merciful One,

are lifted up and blessed with

new life;

They wear a crown of joy,

as they recognise their

Oneness with Spirit.

Come, all who suffer and are

heavy-laden,

open your hearts to Love!

Sing praises to the Heart of all hearts!
