“What can I give back to God for the blessings he’s poured out on me?
I’ll lift high the cup of salvation—a toast to God! I’ll pray the name of God;
I’ll complete what I promised God I’d do ,and I’ll do it together with his people.”
+ Bono frequently reads Psalm 116 from Eugene Peterson’s The Message at the beginning of U2’s concerts.
"Most Christians for most of the Christian centuries have learned to pray by praying the Psalms. The Hebrews, with several centuries of a head start on us in matters of prayer and worship, provided us with this prayer book that gives us a language adequate for responding to the God who speaks to us."
—EUGENE PETERSON,
AUTHOR OF THE MESSAGE
