Psalm 98
1Sing to the Lord a new song, *
for he has done marvelous things.
2With his right hand and his holy arm *
has he won for himself the victory.
3The Lord has made known his victory; *
his righteousness has he openly shown in
the sight of the nations.
4He remembers his mercy and faithfulness to
the house of Israel, *
and all the ends of the earth have seen the
victory of our God.
5Shout with joy to the Lord, all you lands; *
lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing.
6Sing to the Lord with the harp, *
with the harp and the voice of song.
7With trumpets and the sound of the horn *
shout with joy before the King, the Lord.
8Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it, *
the lands and those who dwell therein.
9Let the rivers clap their hands, *
and let the hills ring out with joy before the Lord,
when he comes to judge the earth.
10In righteousness shall he judge the world *
and the peoples with equity.
A Collect for Guidance
Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
