Psalm 102 really tugs at Sistertech’s pinions. While so many of the Psalms evoke sentiments that are more likely common among humans, we Here often find a verse or two that speak just as clearly to Us. I know many that fill me with compassion for others and makes me even more eager to serve The One In Charge by reaching out to humans everywhere in their time of need. Seeing as I am in the tech industry, I have got what you might call a “ready customer base”. So many computers! So many technical issues! Oh, the humanity!
Psalm 102 is no exception when it comes to pulling at my pinions. Who cannot be moved at the mention of the destitute? Who isn’t moved by the assurances of help from The One In Charge? I’m so very glad to be part of The Team that assists and comforts others. It’s very gratifying work. Really, it is.
15The nations will fear the name of the Lord,
and all the kings of the earth your glory.
16For the Lord will build up Zion;
he will appear in his glory.
17He will regard the prayer of the destitute,
and will not despise their prayer.18Let this be recorded for a generation to come,
so that a people yet unborn may praise the Lord:
19that he looked down from his holy height,
from heaven the Lord looked at the earth,
20to hear the groans of the prisoners,
to set free those who were doomed to die;
21so that the name of the Lord may be declared in Zion,
and his praise in Jerusalem,
22when peoples gather together,
and kingdoms, to worship the Lord.
