Pr(a)ise the Lord

I had seen this water tank before, but didn't have my camera ready. I kept an eye out for it and last week I finally saw it again. I asked my driver to stop so I could get out of the car to take a photo.

The back of the water tank.

 

At first I thought it was another funny spelling mistake, but then I saw the same mistake on the front of the tank, so I think the owner is serious about it...



The front of the water tank, with the same text, so is it or isn't it a spelling mistake?

So, if praising the Lord does not work, maybe prising Him will? How does that work? Something to ponder over this Sunday.
