Sunday's Psalm--Fourteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time

R. Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy.

To you I lift up my eyes
who are enthroned in heaven--
As the eyes of the servants
are on the hands of their masters.
Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy.


As the eyes of a maid
are on the hands of her mistress,
So are our eyes on the LORD, our God,
till he have pity on us.
Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy.


Have pity on us, O LORD, have pity on us,
for we are more than sated with contempt;
our souls are more than sated
with the mockery of the arrogant,
with the contempt of the proud.
Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy.

Psalm 123: 1-2, 2, 3-4

All of the photos were taken this week on our camping trip to Seaquest State Park and Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. the last mountain photo is Mt. Adams, which we see from the other side from home, seen beyond the "fallen forest"--trees knocked down by the blast of the 1980 eruption of St. Helens.
