Psalm 108
1My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; *
I will sing and make melody.

2Wake up, my spirit;
awake, lute and harp; *
I myself will waken the dawn.

3I will confess you among the peoples, O LORD; *
I will sing praises to you among the nations.

4For your loving-kindness is greater than the heavens, *
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *
and your glory over all the earth.

6So that those who are dear to you may be delivered, *
save with your right hand and answer me.

7God spoke from his holy place and said, *
“I will exult and parcel out Shechem;
I will divide the valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine; *
Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my scepter.

9Moab is my washbasin,
on Edom I throw down my sandal to claim it, *
and over Philistia will I shout in triumph.”

10Who will lead me into the strong city? *
who will bring me into Edom?

11Have you not cast us off, O God? *
you no longer go out, O God, with our armies.

12Grant us your help against the enemy, *
for vain is the help of man.

13With God we will do valiant deeds, *
and he shall tread our enemies under foot.

A Prayer for the Good Use of Leisure
O God, in the course of this busy life, give us times of refreshment and peace; and grant that we may so use our leisure to rebuild our bodies and renew our minds, that our spirits may be opened to the goodness of your creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
