O God, it is right for us to praise you in Zion and keep our promises to you because you answer prayers.

Reflect

How does the psalm writer describe God’s care for the land and for people? Zion is the name of the mountain in Jerusalem where the Temple was built. The people kept their promises with correct worship, including offering prayers of thanks and bringing gifts and sacrifices. Describe the worship life in your community of faith. In what ways does it reflect promises to God?
