Opening
Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.
Come, let us worship God our King.
Come, let us worship Christ, our King and our God.
Come, let us worship Christ among us, our King and our God.
Holy God,
holy and mighty,
holy immortal one,
have mercy upon us. (3x)
Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and always and forever and ever. Amen.
From Psalm 51
Open my lips, O Lord, *
and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, *
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence *
and take not your holy Spirit from me.
Give me the joy of your saving help again *
and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.
Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and always and forever and ever. Amen.
A Psalm
Psalm 50
Deus deorum
The Lord, the God of gods, has spoken; he has called the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Out of Zion, perfect in its beauty, God reveals himself in glory.
Our God will come and will not keep silence; before him there is a consuming flame, and round about him a raging storm.
He calls the heavens and the earth from above to witness the judgment of his people.
“Gather before me my loyal followers, those who have made a covenant with me and sealed it with sacrifice.”
Let the heavens declare the rightness of his cause; for God himself is judge.
Hear, O my people, and I will speak: “O Israel, I will bear witness against you; for I am God, your God.
I do not accuse you because of your sacrifices; your offerings are always before me.
I will take no bull-calf from your stalls, nor he-goats out of your pens;
For all the beasts of the forest are mine, the herds in their thousands upon the hills.
I know every bird in the sky, and the creatures of the fields are in my sight.
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the whole world is mine and all that is in it.
Do you think I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving and make good your vows to the Most High.
Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall honor me.”
But to the wicked God says: “Why do you recite my statutes, and take my covenant upon your lips;
Since you refuse discipline, and toss my words behind your back?
When you see a thief, you make him your friend, and you cast in your lot with adulterers.
You have loosed your lips for evil, and harnessed your tongue to a lie.
You are always speaking evil of your brother and slandering your own mother’s son.
These things you have done, and I kept still, and you thought that I am like you."
“I have made my accusation; I have put my case in order before your eyes.
Consider this well, you who forget God, lest I rend you and there be none to deliver you.
Whoever offers me the sacrifice of thanksgiving honors me; but to those who keep in my way will I show the salvation of God."
Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and always and forever and ever. Amen.
The Readings
2 Corinthians 12:10-19
English Standard Version
For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing. The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works. For in what were you less favored than the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!
Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for I seek not what is yours but you. For children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? But granting that I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you...

Opening Words:
Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation may spring up, and let it cause righteousness to sprout up also.
Isaiah 45:8
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.
Venite (Psalm 95:1-7)
Our King and Savior now draws near: 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!
Our King and Savior now draws near: Come, let us adore him.
The Psalter
Psalm 63
Deus, Deus meus
BCP p. 670
OGod, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; *
my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you,
as in a barren and dry land where there is no water.
Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place, *
that I might behold your power and your glory.
For your loving-kindness is better than life itself; *
my lips shall give you praise.
So will I bless you as long as I live *
and lift up my hands in your Name.
My soul is content, as with marrow and fatness, *
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips,
When I remember you upon my bed, *
and meditate on you in the night watches.
For you have been my helper, *
and under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.
My soul clings to you; *
your right hand holds me fast.
[May those who seek my life to destroy it *
go down into the depths of the earth;
Let them fall upon the edge of the sword, *
and let them be food for jackals.
But the king will rejoice in God;
all those who swear by him will be glad; *
for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.]
Psalm 98
Cantate Domino
BCP p. 727
Sing to the Lord a new song, *
for he has done marvelous things.
With his right hand and his holy arm *
has he won for himself the victory.
The Lord has made known his victory; *
his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the nations.
He remembers his mercy and faithfulness to the house of Israel, *
and all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
Shout with joy to the Lord, all you lands; *
lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing.
Sing to the Lord with the harp, *
with the harp and the voice of song.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn *
shout with joy before the King, the Lord.
Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it, *
the lands and those who dwell therein.
Let the rivers clap their hands, *
and let the hills ring out with joy before the Lord,
when he comes to judge the earth.
In righteousness shall he judge the world *
and the peoples with equity.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *

The Psalter
Psalm 30
Exaltabo te, Domine
BCP p. 621
Iwill exalt you, O Lord,
because you have lifted me up *
and have not let my enemies triumph over me.
O Lord my God, I cried out to you, *
and you restored me to health.
You brought me up, O Lord, from the dead; *
you restored my life as I was going down to the grave.
Sing to the Lord, you servants of his; *
give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.
For his wrath endures but the twinkling of an eye, *
his favor for a lifetime.
Weeping may spend the night, *
but joy comes in the morning.
While I felt secure, I said,
“I shall never be disturbed. *
You, Lord, with your favor, made me as strong as the mountains.”
Then you hid your face, *
and I was filled with fear.
I cried to you, O Lord; *
I pleaded with the Lord, saying,
“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the Pit? *
will the dust praise you or declare your faithfulness?
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me; *
O Lord, be my helper.”
You have turned my wailing into dancing; *
you have put off my sack-cloth and clothed me with joy.
Therefore my heart sings to you without ceasing; *
O Lord my God, I will give you thanks for ever.
Psalm 32
Beati quorum
BCP p. 624
Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, *
and whose sin is put away!
Happy are they to whom the Lord imputes no guilt, *
and in whose spirit there is no guile!
While I held my tongue, my bones withered away, *
because of my groaning all day long.
For your hand was heavy upon me day and night; *
my moisture was dried up as in the heat of summer.
Then I acknowledged my sin to you, *
and did not conceal my guilt.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” *
Then you forgave me the guilt of my sin.
Therefore all the faithful will make their prayers to you in time of trouble; *
when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach them.
You are my hiding-place;
you preserve me from trouble; *
you surround me with shouts of deliverance.
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go; *
I will guide you with my eye.
Do not be...

In te, Domine, speravi
BCP p. 622
In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame; *
deliver me in your righteousness.
Incline your ear to me; *
make haste to deliver me.
Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe,
for you are my crag and my stronghold; *
for the sake of your Name, lead me and guide me.
Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me, *
for you are my tower of strength.
Into your hands I commend my spirit, *
for you have redeemed me,
O Lord, O God of truth.
I hate those who cling to worthless idols, *
and I put my trust in the Lord.
I will rejoice and be glad because of your mercy; *
for you have seen my affliction;
you know my distress.
You have not shut me up in the power of the enemy; *
you have set my feet in an open place.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; *
my eye is consumed with sorrow,
and also my throat and my belly.
For my life is wasted with grief,
and my years with sighing; *
my strength fails me because of affliction,
and my bones are consumed.
I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my neighbors,
a dismay to those of my acquaintance; *
when they see me in the street they avoid me.
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; *
I am as useless as a broken pot.
For I have heard the whispering of the crowd;
fear is all around; *
they put their heads together against me;
they plot to take my life.
But as for me, I have trusted in you, O Lord. *
I have said, “You are my God.
My times are in your hand; *
rescue me from the hand of my enemies,
and from those who persecute me.
Make your face to shine upon your servant, *
and in your loving-kindness save me.”
Lord, let me not be ashamed for having called upon you; *
rather, let the wicked be put to shame;
let them be silent in the grave.
Let the lying lips be silenced which speak against the righteous, *
haughtily, disdainfully, and with contempt.
How great is your goodness, O Lord!
which you have laid up for those who fear you; *
which you have done in the sight of all
for those who put their trus...

Opening
Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.
Come, let us worship God our King.
Come, let us worship Christ, our King and our God.
Come, let us worship Christ among us, our King and our God.

Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,

A Psalm
Psalm 49
Hear this, all you peoples; hearken, all you who dwell in the world, you of high degree and low, rich and poor together.
My mouth shall speak of wisdom, and my heart shall meditate on understanding.
I will incline my ear to a proverb and set forth my riddle upon the harp.
Why should I be afraid in evil days, when the wickedness of those at my heels surrounds me,
The wickedness of those who put their trust in their goods, and boast of their great riches?
We can never ransom ourselves, or deliver to God the price of our life;
For the ransom of our life is so great, that we should never have enough to pay it,
In order to live for ever and ever, and never see the grave.
For we see that the wise die also; like the dull and stupid they perish and leave their wealth to those who come after them.
Their graves shall be their homes for ever, their dwelling places from generation to generation, though they call the lands after their own names.
Even though honored, they cannot live for ever; they are like the beasts that perish.
Such is the way of those who foolishly trust in themselves, and the end of those who delight in their own words.
Like a flock of sheep they are destined to die; Death is their shepherd; they go down straightway to the grave.
Their form shall waste away, and the land of the dead shall be their home.
But God will ransom my life; he will snatch me from the grasp of death.
Do not be envious when some become rich, or when the grandeur of their house increases;
For they will carry nothing away at their death, nor will their grandeur follow them.
Though they thought highly of themselves while they lived, and were praised for their success,
They shall join the company of their forebears, who will never see the light again.
Those who are honored, but have no understanding, are like the beasts that perish.
Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and always and forever and ever. Amen.
The Readings
1 Corinthians 16:13-24
English Standard Version
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.
Now I urge you, brothers—you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints— be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer. I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for your absence, for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such people.
The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. All the brothers send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Psalm 45
Eructavit cor meum
My heart is stirring with a noble song; let me recite what I have fashioned for the king; my tongue shall be the pen of a skilled writer.
You are the fairest of men; grace flows from your lips, because God has blessed you for ever.
Strap your sword upon your thigh, O mighty warrior, in your pride and in your majesty.
Ride out and conquer in the cause of truth and for the sake of justice.
Your right hand will show you marvelous things; your arrows are very sharp, O mighty warrior.
The peoples are falling at your feet, and the king’s enemies are losing heart.
Your throne, O God, endures for ever and ever, a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom; you love righteousness and hate iniquity.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
All your garments are fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia, and the music of strings from ivory palaces makes you glad.
Kings’ daughters stand among the ladies of the court; on your right hand is the queen, adorned with the gold of Ophir.
“Hear, O daughter; consider and listen closely; forget your people and your father’s house.
The king will have pleasure in your beauty; he is your master; therefore do him honor.
The people of Tyre are here with a gift; the rich among the people seek your favor."
All glorious is the princess as she enters; her gown is cloth-of-gold.
In embroidered apparel she is brought to the king; after her the bridesmaids follow in procession.
With joy and gladness they are brought, and enter into the palace of the king.
“In place of fathers, O king, you shall have sons; you shall make them princes over all the earth.
I will make your name to be remembered from one generation to another; therefore nations will praise you for ever and ever.”
Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and always and forever and ever. Amen.
The Readings
2 Corinthians 9:12-10:7
English Standard Version
For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. By their approval of this service, they will glorify God because of your submission that comes from your confession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others, while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!— I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.

Psalm 57
Miserere mei, Deus
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful, for I have taken refuge in you; in the shadow of your wings will I take refuge until this time of trouble has gone by.
I will call upon the Most High God, the God who maintains my cause.
He will send from heaven and save me; he will confound those who trample upon me;
God will send forth his love and his faithfulness. I lie in the midst of lions that devour the people; their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongue a sharp sword.
They have laid a net for my feet, and I am bowed low; they have dug a pit before me, but have fallen into it themselves.
Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, and your glory over all the earth.
My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and make melody.
Wake up, my spirit; awake, lute and harp; I myself will waken the dawn.
I will confess you among the peoples, O Lord; I will sing praise to you among the nations.
For your loving-kindness is greater than the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, and your glory over all the earth.
Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,

21 And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, 22 and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
23 But I call God to witness against me—it was to spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth. 24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your faith.
1 For I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you. 2 For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained? 3 And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all. 4 For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

1 And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, 3 and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ 5 But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.

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 105Part I
Confitemini Domino
1
Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his Name; *
make known his deeds among the peoples.
2
Sing to him, sing praises to him, *
and speak of all his marvelous works.
3
Glory in his holy Name; *
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4
Search for the Lord and his strength; *
continually seek his face.
5
Remember the marvels he has done, *
his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,
6
O offspring of Abraham his servant, *
O children of Jacob his chosen.
7
He is the Lord our God; *
his judgments prevail in all the world.
8
He has always been mindful of his covenant, *
the promise he made for a thousand generations:
9
The covenant he made with Abraham, *
the oath that he swore to Isaac,
10
Which he established as a statute for Jacob, *
an everlasting covenant for Israel,
11
Saying, “To you will I give the land of Canaan *
to be your allotted inheritance.”
12
When they were few in number, *
of little account, and sojourners in the land,
13
Wandering from nation to nation *
and from one kingdom to another,
14
He let no one oppress them *
and rebuked kings for their sake,
15
Saying, “Do not touch my anointed *
and do my prophets no harm.”
16
Then he called for a famine in the land *
and destroyed the supply of bread.
17
He sent a man before them, *
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18
They bruised his feet in fetters; *
his neck they put in an iron collar.
19
Until his prediction came to pass, *
the word of the Lord tested him.
20
The king sent and released him; *
the ruler of the peoples set him free.
21
He set him as a master over his household, *
as a ruler over all his possessions,
22
To instruct his princes according to his will *
and to teach his elders wisdom.
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.

The Psalter
Psalm 121
Levavi oculos
1
I lift up my eyes to the hills; *
from where is my help to come?
2
My help comes from the Lord, *
the maker of heaven and earth.
3
He will not let your foot be moved *
and he who watches over you will not fall asleep.
4
Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel *
shall neither slumber nor sleep;
5
The Lord himself watches over you; *
the Lord is your shade at your right hand,
6
So that the sun shall not strike you by day, *
nor the moon by night.
7
The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; *
it is he who shall keep you safe.
8
The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in, *
from this time forth for evermore.
Psalm 122
Lætatus sum
1
I was glad when they said to me, *
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
2
Now our feet are standing *
within your gates, O Jerusalem.
3
Jerusalem is built as a city *
that is at unity with itself;
4
To which the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord, *
the assembly of Israel,
to praise the Name of the Lord.
5
For there are the thrones of judgment, *
the thrones of the house of David.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: *
“May they prosper who love you.
7
Peace be within your walls *
and quietness within your towers.
8
For my brethren and companions’ sake, *
I pray for your prosperity.
9
Because of the house of the Lord our God, *
I will seek to do you good.”
Psalm 123
Ad te levavi oculos meos
1
To you I lift up my eyes, *
to you enthroned in the heavens.
2
As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, *
and the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
3
So our eyes look to the Lord our God, *
until he show us his mercy.
4
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy, *
for we have had more than enough of contempt,
5
Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich, *
and of the derision of the proud.
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.

The Psalter
Psalm 18Part I
Diligam te, Domine.
1
I love you, O Lord my strength, *
O Lord my stronghold, my crag, and my haven.
2
My God, my rock in whom I put my trust, *
my shield, the horn of my salvation, and my refuge;
you are worthy of praise.
3
I will call upon the Lord, *
and so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4
The breakers of death rolled over me, *
and the torrents of oblivion made me afraid.
5
The cords of hell entangled me, *
and the snares of death were set for me.
6
I called upon the Lord in my distress *
and cried out to my God for help.
7
He heard my voice from his heavenly dwelling; *
my cry of anguish came to his ears.
8
The earth reeled and rocked; *
the roots of the mountains shook;
they reeled because of his anger.
9
Smoke rose from his nostrils
and a consuming fire out of his mouth; *
hot burning coals blazed forth from him.
10
He parted the heavens and came down *
with a storm cloud under his feet.
11
He mounted on cherubim and flew; *
he swooped on the wings of the wind.
12
He wrapped darkness about him; *
he made dark waters and thick clouds his pavilion.
13
From the brightness of his presence, through the clouds, *
burst hailstones and coals of fire.
14
The Lord thundered out of heaven; *
the Most High uttered his voice.
15
He loosed his arrows and scattered them; *
he hurled thunderbolts and routed them.
16
The beds of the seas were uncovered,
and the foundations of the world laid bare, *
at your battle cry, O Lord,
at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
17
He reached down from on high and grasped me; *
he drew me out of great waters.
18
He delivered me from my strong enemies
and from those who hated me; *
for they were too mighty for me.
19
They confronted me in the day of my disaster; *
but the Lord was my support.
20
He brought me out into an open place; *
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
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.
