Opening Words:
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
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 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: *
as it was in...

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; *

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.

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.

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.

The Psalter
Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength, *
a very present help in trouble.
2
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, *
and though the mountains be toppled into the depths of the sea;
3
Though its waters rage and foam, *
and though the mountains tremble at its tumult.
4
The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
5
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, *
the holy habitation of the Most High.
6
God is in the midst of her;
she shall not be overthrown; *
God shall help her at the break of day.
7
The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are shaken; *
God has spoken, and the earth shall melt away.
8
The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
9
Come now and look upon the works of the Lord, *
what awesome things he has done on earth.
10
It is he who makes war to cease in all the world; *
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear,
and burns the shields with fire.
11
“Be still, then, and know that I am God; *
I will be exalted among the nations;
I will be exalted in the earth.”
12
The Lord of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Psalm 48
Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised; *
in the city of our God is his holy hill.
2
Beautiful and lofty, the joy of all the earth, is the hill of Zion, *
the very center of the world and the city of the great King.
3
God is in her citadels; *
he is known to be her sure refuge.
4
Behold, the kings of the earth assembled *
and marched forward together.
5
They looked and were astounded; *
they retreated and fled in terror.
6
Trembling seized them there; *
they writhed like a woman in childbirth,
like ships of the sea when the east wind shatters them.
7
As we have heard, so have we seen,
in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God; *
God has established her for ever.
8
We have waited in silence on your loving-kindness, O God, *
in the midst of your temple.
9
Your praise, like your Name, O God, reaches to the world’s end; *
your right hand is full of justice.
10
Let Mount Zion be glad
and the cities of Judah rejoice, *
because of your judgments.
11
Make the circuit of Zion;
walk round about her; *
count the number of her towers.
12
Consider well her bulwarks;...
