PSALM 146

The music leader will sing through the response once, then the congregation will join.

One Praise be to God! Praise God, O my soul!

Many I will praise God as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God all my life long.

Sung Response

One Happy are those whose help is in the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the Sovereign their God,

Many who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them; who keeps faith forever;

One who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry.

Many God sets the prisoners free; God opens the eyes of those who cannot see.

Sung Response

One God lifts up those who are bowed down; God loves those who are righteous.

Many God watches over the strangers, and upholds the orphan and the widow, but the way of the wicked God brings to ruin.

One The Sovereign will reign forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations.

Sung Response

Many Praise be to God!

PRAYING TOGETHER THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
