Have you read the Book of Job?  I’ve read it dozens of times, and the part that always stands out to me is this –

Job 42:5-6

⁵ I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth Thee.  

⁶ Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

Day after day, I fail Him, and day after day, He shows indescribable mercy.  The secret pride, the self complacency, the surreptitious coveting, the sluggishness, O God – please – please –  help me.  And He does.  Again and again and again.  Again and again when I don’t deserve it.  Again and again when I forget Him and allow the cares of this world to consume me.  There He is, so gracious, so merciful, so longsuffering. 

How can He love me – still.  He is so wonderful, my puny vocabulary is insufficient to praise Him.  What can I do, this horrible sinner, but give His own perfect Words back to Him?

Psalm 47:1-6

47 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

² For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

³ He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

⁴ He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

⁵ God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

⁶ Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, our dear precious Savior, our Lord and Righteous King, Jesus Christ.
