‘_Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes!_‘ (**Psalm 119:12**)

“I appeal to you to ascribe blessedness to our God. My text is not a cold, didactic
assertion of the proposition that God is a blessed being.

It is the warm, adoring, direct ascription of blessedness to Him by a soul in communion
with Him, rejoicing in His blessedness: Blessed art Thou, O Lord?

Therefore, brethren, join with me in thus ascribing blessedness unto our God. Bless
ye God in the congregations, even the Lord from the fountain of Israel.

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

Yea, blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and redeemed His people,
and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David.

And blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to His
abundant mercy, hath begotten us again to a lively hope by the resurrection of Christ
from the dead.

And blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who keepeth not His 
blessedness unto Himself, but hath blessed us with all spirtual blessings in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus.

His name shall endure forever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun; and
men shall be blessed in Him — all nations shall call Him blessed.

Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things; and 
blessed be His glorious name forever.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting. And let all the
people say, Amen.

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the 
enemy.

From every voice upon the crowded battlements of Zion let the joyful shout ascend,
and let it be echoed back from all that are around the throne.

Bless the Lord, ye His angels that excel in strength, and do His commandments, hearkening
unto the voice of His word.

Bless ye the Lord, all ye His hosts, ye ministers of His that do His pleasure.

Bless the Lord, all His works, in all places of His dominions.

Bless the Lord, O my soul. Amen and amen.”
