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 Mission
O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh; and hasten the coming of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
