The people sing his praises.

"Praise the Lord, my soul. Lord my God, you are very great. You are clothed with splendor and majesty."

The entire Psalm (Ps 104(105) is a hymn of praise, recounting God's power and faithfulness throughout salvation history. The children of Israel have encountered all kinds of trials and persecution. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has remained faithful to his covenant.

The same God whom we serve today is with us in all our situations of life to guide and protect us. We must be resilient and trust in God's faithfulness even in the darkest moments of oppression and suffering.

Help me Lord to always remember that, amidst the pain of oppression, hope and deliverance can truly be found in our fidelity to the Almighty - God.

*Peace be with you!*

*Father G. R. BIDZOGO SAC*
