(Mario Gomez, at 63 the eldest of the 33 Chilean miners
recently trapped underground for 69 days, kneels in
thanksgiving for being rescued)
from PSALM 94 (95)
Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord;
let us acclaim the Rock of our Salvation.
Let us greet him with thanksgiving;
let us joyfully sing psalms to him,
For the Lord is a great God,
and a great king above all gods;
In his hands are the depths of the earth,
and the tops of the mountains are his.
The last two lines of this verse of the psalm were printed on the backs of the t-shirts that all the miners wore during their rescue.
