Rutherford: the debt of praise

Meditation:
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
—Psalm 19:1-3 (NIV)

Quotation:
Oh my debt of praise, how weighty it is, and how far run up! Oh, that others would lend me to pay, and teach me to praise.
... Samuel Rutherford (1600-1664), Letters of Samuel Rutherford, Edinburgh: William Whyte & Co., 1848, letter, Jan. 1, 1637, p. 136 (see the book)
See also Ps. 19:1-3; 25:4; 51:15; Rev. 5:12

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, grant me words and voice to speak Your praises.
