Palm Sunday Psalm

Open to God a heart of praise and a gate of generosity.

O give thanks to the One who is good,
whose steadfast love endures forever.

Come to God’s side with a coat and a colt and a shout.

O give thanks to the One who is good,
whose steadfast love endures forever.

Bless God’s name with falling tears and fallen branches.

O give thanks to the One who is good,
whose steadfast love endures forever.

Find the whisper in your soul that holds onto wild hope.

O give thanks to the One who is good,
whose steadfast love endures forever.

Extol God’s love, spread before you in life and death.

O give thanks to the One who is good,
whose steadfast love endures forever.

Bind your fears and longings; listen to the rocks sing.

O give thanks to the One who is good,
whose steadfast love endures forever.

O my soul, give thanks, even in your weariness.
O people, give thanks, for God is still among you.
In your turmoil, be patient; God’s love is forever.

Selah.
