PSALMODY

Antiphon: Be joyful in God, all you lands;* sing the glory of the divine name! (Psalm. 66.1)

Opening

Come, let us sing

1 Come, let us sing to the Lord; *
let us shout for joy to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before the presence of the Lord with thanksgiving *
and raise a loud shout to God with psalms.
3 For you, O Lord, are a great God, *
and a great sovereign above all gods.
4 In your hand are the caverns of the earth, *
and the heights of the hills are yours also.
5 The sea is yours, for you made it, *
and your hands have moulded the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *
and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
7 For you are our God, and we are the people of your pasture and the sheep of your hand. *
Oh, that today we would hearken to your voice!
8 “Harden not your hearts, *
as your forebears did in the wilderness.
9 They put me to the test, *
though they had seen my works.
10 So I swore in my wrath, *
‘They shall not enter into my rest.’”

Glory ...
or a suitable Hymn

(Or from Psalms 66 and 92)

1. All the earth bows down before you,*
sings to you, sings out your name.

2. Bless our God, you peoples;*
make the voice of God’s praise to be heard.

3. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord,*
and to sing praises to your name, O Most High;

4. to tell of your loving-kindness early in the morning*
and of your faithfulness in the night season.

Glory ...
or a suitable hymn

Psalm 108
1. My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; *
I will sing and make melody.
2. Wake up, my spirit; awake, lute and harp; *
I myself will waken the dawn.
3. I will confess you among the peoples, O Lord; *
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4. For your loving-kindness is greater than the heavens, *
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5. Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *
and your glory over all the earth.
6. So that those who are dear to you may be delivered, *
save with your strong hand and answer me.
7. You spoke from your heavenly dwelling and said, *
“I will exult and parcel out Shechem; I will divide the valley of Succoth.
8. Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine; *
Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my sceptre.
9. Moab is my washbasin; on Edom I throw down my sandal to claim it, *
and over Philistia will I shout in triumph.”
10. Who will lead me into the strong city? *
Who will bring me into Edom?
11. Have you not cast us off, O God? *
You no longer go out, O God, with our armies.
12. Grant us your help against the enemy, *
for vain is the help of mortals. You no longer go out, O God, with our armies.
13. With you we will do valiant deeds, *
and you shall tread our enemies under foot.

Glory ...

Psalm 110

1. The Lord said to my lord, ”Sit at my side in honour, *
until I make your enemies your footstool”
2. The Lord will send the sceptre of your power out of Zion, *
saying, ”Rule over your enemies round about you.
3. Royal state has been yours from the day of your birth, *
in the beauty of holiness have I begotten you, like dew from the womb of the morning.”
4. The Lord has sworn and will not recant: *
”You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.”
5. The Lord who is at your side will smite rulers in the day of wrath; *
and will rule over the nations.
6. The Lord will heap high the corpses, *
smashing heads over the wide earth.
7. The king will drink from the brook beside the road, *
therefore he will lift high his head.

READING(S)

Jeremiah 36.27-37.2

Now, after the king had burned the scroll with the words that Baruch wrote at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which King Jehoiakim of Judah has burned. And concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah you shall say: Thus says the Lord, You have dared to burn this scroll, saying, Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cut off from it human beings and animals? Therefore thus says the Lord concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah: He shall have no one to sit upon the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day and the frost by night. And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity; I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the people of Judah, all the disasters with which I have threatened them—but they would not listen.

Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the secretary Baruch son of Neriah, who wrote on it at Jeremiah’s dictation all the words of the scroll that King Jehoiakim of Judah had burned in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.

Zedekiah son of Josiah, whom King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon made king in the land of Judah, succeeded Coniah son of Jehoiakim. But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land listened to the words of the Lord that he spoke through the prophet Jeremiah.

1 Corinthians 14.1-12

Pursue love and strive for the spiritual gifts, and especially that you may prophesy. For those who speak in a tongue do not speak to other people but to God; for nobody understands them, since they are speaking mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, those who prophesy speak to other people for their building up and encouragement and consolation. Those who speak in a tongue build up themselves, but those who prophesy build up the church. Now I would like all of you to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. One who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.

Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you in some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? It is the same way with lifeless instruments that produce sound, such as the flute or the harp. If they do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is being played? And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? So with yourselves; if in a tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is being said? For you will be speaking into the air. There are doubtless many different kinds of sounds in the world, and nothing is without sound. If then I do not know the meaning of a sound, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. So with yourselves; since you are eager for spiritual gifts, strive to excel in them for building up the church.

Silence

Response (Psalm 63.4)

I will bless you Lord as long as I live.
I will bless you Lord as long as I live.
And lift up my hands in your name.
As long as I live.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
I will bless you Lord as long as I live.

SONG OF ZECHARIAH

Song of Zechariah Antiphon: God’s love is shed abroad in our hearts: * * through the Holy Spirit.

1 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel,* for he has come to his people and set them free.
2 He has raised up for us a mighty saviour,* born of the house of his servant David.
3 Through his holy prophets he promised of old* that he would save us from our enemies, from the hands of all that hate us.
4 He promised to show mercy to our forebears,* and to remember his holy covenant.
5 This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:* to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
6 free to worship him without fear,* holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.
7 You my child shall be called the prophet of the Most High,* for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
8 to give his people knowledge of salvation* by the forgiveness of all their sins.
9 In the tender compassion of our God* the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
10 to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,* and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Glory ... (may be said by all)
