Bon’s Book of Praise SAM, SAR<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SAM<\/p>\n

1. O Thou, Jehovih, give me words rich in Thy praise; my soul is like a fountain
\nspringing up out of the earth.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>2. I would look upon Thee; into Thy face, O my Creator, who taketh away my breath by
\nthe awe of Thy countenance.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Thou, who fashioned the broad earth and the high heavens! O, the works of Thy hand,
\nJehovih!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Where shall I start with my song unto Thee; or find words to laud the Almighty?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Proclaim His Unity, O my beloved; proclaim Him, in one breath, together, O all ye
\npeople. Jehovih! Jehovih!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. O that I could magnify words to Thy Omnipotence, or hold up the perfection of Thy
\nPerson in fine speech!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. But I am as one distracted by the over-whelming scene. My words cripple and halt
\ncontinually before Thy surprising creations.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. O that I could find a starting point; or knew a way to make rhymes and meters without
\nrules, like the works of Jehovih!<\/span><\/p>\n

SAR<\/p>\n

1. Almighty! Almighty! Love Abounding! Who gathered up the dust of the earth, as a
\nwind, with judgment and forethought; and sorted the substance thereof and shaped it.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. None but Thee, Jehovih, looked on or knew Thy proceedings. And to one Thou
\nsaidst: Be thou a beast of the field; and to another: Be thou a serpent; and to another: Be
\nthou a wild beast of the forest.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And they ran forth at Thy command, every one to his place, rejoicing in the work of
\nThy hand. And I looked thereon, O Thou Almighty! What work of perfection in each,
\neven to the flesh and bones.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. But Thou turnedst mine eyes inward, and I saw the wisdom of the serpent and the
\nbeast; and the thoughts and desires of their understanding, how perfectly Thou hast made
\nthem.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. I saw the love Thou gavest each unto its own kind; yea, even the serpent gathered up
\nher young, because of her love, to shield them from harm.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. O that I could find the first Cause of the judgment of every living thing! To come close
\nto the Almighty; to question Him!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Thou Who shapedst a moiety of earth, and said: Be thou a bird, with feathers! Fly and
\nsing! And it went forth, upward in the air of heaven, rejoicing in Thy name, Jehovih!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. To another: Be thou an eagle; in ice and snow freeze not; above the clouds proclaim
\nthe Almighty!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
