Opening Words:
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
Psalm 19:14 (ESV)
Confession:
Let us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God.
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.
The Invitatory
Lord, open our lips.
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Venite (Psalm 95:1-7)
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness:
Come let us adore him.
Come, let us sing to the Lord; *
let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God, *
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *
and the heights of the hills are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it, *
and his hands have molded the dry land.
Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *
and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *
Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness:
Come let us adore him.
The Psalter
Psalm 107
Part II
Posuit flumina
33
The Lord changed rivers into deserts, *
and water-springs into thirsty ground,
34
A fruitful land into salt flats, *
because of the wickedness of those who dwell there.
35
He changed deserts into pools of water *
and dry land into water-springs.
36
He settled the hungry there, *
and they founded a city to dwell in.
37
They sowed fields, and planted vineyards, *
and brought in a fruitful harvest.
38
He blessed them, so that they increased greatly; *
he did not let their herds decrease.
39
Yet when they were diminished and brought low, *
through stress of adversity and sorrow,
40
(He pours contempt on princes *
and makes them wander in trackless wastes)
41
He lifted up the poor out of misery *
and multiplied their families like flocks of sheep.
42
The upright will see this and rejoice, *
but all wickedness will shut its mouth.
43
Whoever is wise will ponder these things, *
and consider well the mercies of the Lord.
Psalm 108
Paratum cor meum
1
My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; *
I will sing and make melody.
2
Wake up, my spirit;
awake, lute and harp; *
I myself will waken the dawn.
