Opening Words:
Behold, I bring you good news of a great joy, which will come to all the people; for unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:10, 11
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.
Jubilate (Psalm 100)
Alleluia. To us a child is born: O come, let us adore him. Alleluia.
Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.
Know this: The Lord himself is God; *
he himself has made us, and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise; *
give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting; *
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
Alleluia. To us a child is born: O come, let us adore him. Alleluia.
The Psalter
Psalm 93
The Lord is King;
he has put on splendid apparel; *
the Lord has put on his apparel
and girded himself with strength.
2
He has made the whole world so sure *
that it cannot be moved;
3
Ever since the world began, your throne has been established; *
you are from everlasting.
4
The waters have lifted up, O Lord,
the waters have lifted up their voice; *
the waters have lifted up their pounding waves.
5
Mightier than the sound of many waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea, *
mightier is the Lord who dwells on high.
6
Your testimonies are very sure, *
and holiness adorns your house, O Lord,
for ever and for evermore.
Psalm 96
Sing to the Lord a new song; *
sing to the Lord, all the whole earth.
2
Sing to the Lord and bless his Name; *
proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.
3
Declare his glory among the nations *
and his wonders among all peoples.
4
For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; *
he is more to be feared than all gods.
5
As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols; *
but it is the Lord who made the heavens.
6
Oh, the majesty and magnificence of his presence! *
Oh, the power and the splendor of his sanctuary!
7
Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples; *
ascribe to the Lord honor and power.
8
Ascribe to the Lord the honor due his Name; *
bring offerings and come into his courts.
9
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; *
let the whole earth tremble before him.
10
Tell it out among the nations: “The Lord is King! *
he has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.”
11
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
let the sea thunder and all that is in it; *
let the field be joyful and all that is therein.
12
Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy
before the Lord when he comes, *
when he comes to judge the earth.
13
He will judge the world with righteousness *
and the peoples with his truth.
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.] The Lord is glorious in his saints: Come, let us adore him. [Alleluia.]
Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.

The Psalter
Psalm 2
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.
6
“I myself have set my king *
upon my holy hill of Zion.”
7
Let me announce the decree of the Lord: *
he said to me, “You are my Son;
this day have I begotten you.
8
Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance *
and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9
You shall crush them with an iron rod *
and shatter them like a piece of pottery.”
10
And now, you kings, be wise; *
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11
Submit to the Lord with fear, *
and with trembling bow before him;
12
Lest he be angry and you perish; *
for his wrath is quickly kindled.
13
Happy are they all *
who take refuge in him!
Psalm 26
Give judgment for me, O Lord,
for I have lived with integrity; *
I have trusted in the Lord and have not faltered.
2
Test me, O Lord, and try me; *
examine my heart and my mind.
3
For your love is before my eyes; *
I have walked faithfully with you.
4
I have not sat with the worthless, *
nor do I consort with the deceitful.
5
I have hated the company of evildoers; *
I will not sit down with the wicked.
6
I will wash my hands in innocence, O Lord, *
that I may go in procession round your altar,
7
Singing aloud a song of thanksgiving *
and recounting all your wonderful deeds.
8
Lord, I love the house in which you dwell *
and the place where your glory abides.
9
Do not sweep me away with sinners, *
nor my life with those who thirst for blood,
10
Whose hands are full of evil plots, *
and their right hand full of bribes.
11
As for me, I will live with integrity; *
redeem me, O Lord, and have pity on me.
12
My foot stands on level ground; *
in the full assembly I will bless the Lord.
Glory ...

The Psalter
Psalm 20
May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble, *
the Name of the God of Jacob defend you;
2
Send you help from his holy place *
and strengthen you out of Zion;
3
Remember all your offerings *
and accept your burnt sacrifice;
4
Grant you your heart’s desire *
and prosper all your plans.
5
We will shout for joy at your victory
and triumph in the Name of our God; *
may the Lord grant all your requests.
6
Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his anointed; *
he will answer him out of his holy heaven,
with the victorious strength of his right hand.
7
Some put their trust in chariots and some in horses, *
but we will call upon the Name of the Lord our God.
8
They collapse and fall down, *
but we will arise and stand upright.
9
O Lord, give victory to the king *
and answer us when we call.
Psalm 21
The king rejoices in your strength, O Lord; *
how greatly he exults in your victory!
2
You have given him his heart’s desire; *
you have not denied him the request of his lips.
3
For you meet him with blessings of prosperity, *
and set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
4
He asked you for life, and you gave it to him: *
length of days, for ever and ever.
5
His honor is great, because of your victory; *
splendor and majesty have you bestowed upon him.
6
For you will give him everlasting felicity *
and will make him glad with the joy of your presence.
7
For the king puts his trust in the Lord; *
because of the loving-kindness of the Most High, he will not fall.
8
[Your hand will lay hold upon all your enemies; *
your right hand will seize all those who hate you.
9
You will make them like a fiery furnace *
at the time of your appearing, O Lord;
10
You will swallow them up in your wrath, *
and fire shall consume them.
11
You will destroy their offspring from the land *
and their descendants from among the peoples of the earth.
12
Though they intend evil against you
and devise wicked schemes, *
yet they shall not prevail.
13
For you will put them to flight *
and aim your arrows at them.
14
Be exalted, O Lord, in your might; *
we will sing and praise your power.]
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
