Happy are those who find their help
in you, dear God, their help and their
hope.
Happy the households who eat in your
presence,
ones who rejoice and give thanks for your
blessings.
And happy are we when we can rejoice even
in sorrow--
when we have nothing, but are rich in
possessing everything.

Selected Verses
Ps. 146:5
Happy are
those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD their God…
whose hope is in the LORD their God…
Deut. 12:7
And you shall
eat there in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your households
together, rejoicing in all the undertakings in which the LORD your God has
blessed you.
2 Cor. 6:8b-10
We are treated
as impostors, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet are well known; as
dying, and see--we are alive; as punished, and yet not killed; as
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having
nothing, and yet possessing everything.
Luke 17:17-18
Then Jesus
asked, "Were not ten made clean? But
the other nine, where are they?
Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except
this foreigner?"
