Psalm 75
[1] We give thanks to you, O God;
we give thanks, for your name is near.
We recount your wondrous deeds.
[2] “At the set time that I appoint
I will judge with equity.
[3] When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants,
it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah
[4] I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn;
[5] do not lift up your horn on high,
or speak with haughty neck.’”
[6] For not from the east or from the west
and not from the wilderness comes lifting up,
[7] but it is God who executes judgment,
putting down one and lifting up another.
[8] For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup
with foaming wine, well mixed,
and he pours out from it,
and all the wicked of the earth
shall drain it down to the dregs.
[9] But I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
[10] All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up. (ESV)
Call to Worship
Psalm 123
[1] To you I lift up my eyes,
O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
[2] Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the LORD our God,
till he has mercy upon us.
[3] Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of contempt.
[4] Our soul has had more than enough
of the scorn of those who are at ease,
of the contempt of the proud. (ESV)
Prayer of Repentance
Our Father in Heaven, our sins have made a separation between us and you, our God, and have kept good from us; and by them, we have defiled our minds and consciences. Father, for the sake of our advocate Jesus Christ, blot out all our transgressions and enter not into judgment with us. Speak peace to us, and let us hear joy and gladness. Amen.
Benediction
May the LORD be your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. May He keep you from fear even though the earth gives way, or the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, or the waters roar and foam, or the mountains tremble at its swelling. May the LORD lead you to the river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. May the LORD of hosts be with you; and the God of Jacob be your fortress forever.In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen!
