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 1

1

Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of the wicked, *

nor lingered in the way of sinners,

nor sat in the seats of the scornful!

2

Their delight is in the law of the Lord, *

and they meditate on his law day and night.

3

They are like trees planted by streams of water,

bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither; *

everything they do shall prosper.

4

It is not so with the wicked; *

they are like chaff which the wind blows away.

5

Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when judgment comes, *

nor the sinner in the council of the righteous.

6

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, *

but the way of the wicked is doomed.

Psalm 2

1

Why are the nations in an uproar? *

Why do the peoples mutter empty threats?

2

Why do the kings of the earth rise up in revolt,

and the princes plot together, *

against the Lord and against his Anointed?

3

“Let us break their yoke,” they say; *

“let us cast off their bonds from us.”

4

He whose throne is in heaven is laughing; *

the Lord has them in derision.

5

Then he speaks to them in his wrath, *

and his rage fills them with terror.
