For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, For Your name is near; Men declare Your wondrous works.

A late fall afternoon with a steely light warning of the winter soon to be upon us; finches, nuthatches and the occasional woodpecker at the feeders; brown trees hugging the mountains; the fields dressed in a yellow green; the Creation continues its orderly progression through the seasons; God continuing to declare His love of order and beauty so that all can see. He is a God of order not a god of chaos; a God of all things under His control, foreordained before the beginning of time, not a god of the irrational and random event.
