Psalm 107:33-43
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 right hand and answer me.
7 God spoke from his holy place 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 scepter.
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 man.
13 With God we will do valiant deeds,*
and he shall tread our enemies under foot.
Collect of the Day – Proper 28
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
