The Lord Takes Pleasure In Those Who Fear Him - Psalm 147: 10-12

God delights in what pleases Him so to mark out what's His good pleasure it's not a horse's strength nor in man's leg but God's not impressed with a human measure What makes God's pleasure so divine is seeing His image He has created showing true godly reverential fear which word of God has clearly stated God is the Lord who is steadfast this shows in His love so ever full knowing you can have a certain hope in which produces a real true jewel Now it is right and indeed proper to bring praise to God on high for He deserves our Thanksgiving since loving us in eternal heaven Indeed the Lord has great pleasure in His own who fill with fear bow in humility at God's throne knowing this great God is always near ("His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!") Psalm 147: 10-12 (ESV)
