Comfort for the Philippines

This is the concluding part of Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms.

It is appropriate today when so many lost their lives to a storm in the Philippines, half a world away and they go about trying to make sense of the rest of their lives.. 

The words are from Psalm 150. You have to wait about 6 minutes into this to get to the psalm in question...and the ending is, well a miracle of man.

Some folks need a miracle right about now.

Praise the LORD. 1 Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
