Opening Words:

I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.
Isaiah 49:6b

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. Alleluia.

Psalm 95:1-7

The Lord has shown forth his glory: 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!

The Lord has shown forth his glory: Come let us adore him.

The Psalter

Psalm 138

1

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; *

before the gods I will sing your praise.

2

I will bow down toward your holy temple

and praise your Name, *

because of your love and faithfulness;

3

For you have glorified your Name *

and your word above all things.

4

When I called, you answered me; *

you increased my strength within me.

5

All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Lord, *

when they have heard the words of your mouth.

6

They will sing of the ways of the Lord, *

that great is the glory of the Lord.

7

Though the Lord be high, he cares for the lowly; *

he perceives the haughty from afar.

8

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; *

you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies;

your right hand shall save me.

9

The Lord will make good his purpose for me; *

O Lord, your love endures for ever;

do not abandon the works of your hands.

Psalm 139

1

Lord, you have searched me out and known me; *

you know my sitting down and my rising up;

you discern my thoughts from afar.

2

You trace my journeys and my resting-places *

and are acquainted with all my ways
