                                 Psalm 19B

      Side 1.   The law of the Lord is perfect,
 it revives the soul.
The rule of the Lord is to be trusted,
 it gives wisdom to the simple.

                                    Side 2.   The precepts of the Lord are right,
they gladden the heart.
The command of the Lord is clear,
it gives light to the eyes.

       Side 1.  The fear of the Lord is holy,
abiding for ever.
The decrees of the Lord are truth
and all of them just.

       Side 2.  They are more to be desired than gold,
than the purest of gold
and sweeter are they than honey,
than honey from the comb.
Side 1.  So in them your servant finds instruction;
great reward is in their keeping.
But who can detect all his errors?
From hidden faults acquit me.

      Side 2.   From presumption restrain your servant
and let it not rule me.
Then shall I be blameless,
clean from grave sin.

      Side 1.  May the spoken words of my mouth,
the thoughts of my heart,
win favor in your sight,
O Lord, my rescuer, my rock!

     Side 2.    Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Side 1.    As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

(Psalm-prayer)

Leader- May our words in praise of your commandments find favor with you, Lord. May our faith prove we are not slaves, but sons, not so much subjected to your law as sharing your power.

God comes in
power to give his people justice.


Psalm 7

 Side 1.  Lord God, I take refuge in you.
     From my pursuer save me and rescue me,
                                             lest he tear me to pieces like a lion
     and drag me off with no one to rescue me.

Side 2.   Lord God, if my hands have done wrong,
if I have paid back evil for good,
I who saved my unjust oppressor:
then let my foe pursue me and seize me,
let him trample my life to the ground
and lay my soul in the dust.

Side 1.   Lord, rise up in your anger,
               rise against the fury of my foes;
               my God, awake! You will give judgment.
               Let the company of nations gather round you,
               taking your seat above them on high.
               The Lord is judge of the peoples.

Side 2.   Give judgment for me, Lord; I am just
and innocent of heart.
Put an end to the evil of the wicked!
Make the just stand firm,
you who test mind and heart,
O just God!

Side 1.    Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Side 2.    As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

((Psalm-prayer)

Leader-   Father, you weigh what is in our hearts. Free us from oppressors, and, as we wait for your day of judgment, set a firm guard on our thoughts, so that while we return good for evil, we may still praise your kind of justice.

God is our judge, Strong and just; he saves the upright of heart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Side 1.   God is the shield that protects me,
    who saves the upright of heart.
              God is a just judge
              slow to anger;
              but he threatens the wicked every day,
              men who will not repent.

Side 2.   God will sharpen his sword;
he has braced his bow and taken aim.
For them he has prepared deadly weapons;
he barbs his arrows with fire.
Here is one who is pregnant with malice,
conceives evil and brings forth lies.

Side 1.   He digs a pitfall, digs it deep;
              and in the trap he has made he will fall.
              His malice will recoil on himself;
              on his own head his violence will fall.
             
Side 2.   I will thank the Lord for his justice:
I will sing to the Lord, the Most High.

Side 1.     Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Side 2.     As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever.  Amen.

James 1:19b-20, 26

 

Thus says the Lord, the God of Hosts:
O my people, who swell in Zion, do not fear.  On that day the burden shall be taken from your shoulder, and the yoke shattered from your neck.

Side 1. Remember us, Lord, because of the love you have for your people.

Side 2. Come and bring us your salvation.

 (moment of silent)

 

 

(As in the Proper of the Season)

 

Do I indeed derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked? Says the Lord God. Do I not rather rejoice when he turns from his evil way that he may live?

Side 1. Turn your face away from my sins

Side 2. −Blot out all my guilty

(moment of silent)

 

 

(As in the Proper of the Season)

Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger: for a man’s anger does not fulfill god’s justice.  If a man who does not control his tongue imagines that he is devout, he is self-deceived; his worship is pointless.

Side 1. I will bless the Lord all my life long

Side 2.−With a song of praise ever on my lips

Father, Yours is the harvest and yours is the vineyard: You assign the task and pay a wage that is just. Help us to meet this day’s responsibilities,

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit on God, for ever and ever. Amen
