Hallowed be thy name…
It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High,
to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,
to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.
For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of your hands.
How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts!
(Psalm 92:1-5)
.
I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. (Psalm 9:2)
.
Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, through all generations. (Psalm 135:13)
.
although i am but dust
as measured in eons
importance
or in purity
whichever standard of measurement
you care to use
i say
although
i am fleeting
unimportant
and desperately wicked
You
the Holy One
dwelling in unapproachable light
enduring from before time until
after all times shall cease
not only pure
but able to purify
me
You
the Holy One
bend
with infinite tenderness
(for You are infinite
and i am infinitesimal)
You touch my soul
and i become
like You
