A Psalm and A Prayer
Psalm 99

Psalm 99

Leader:  The Lord is king. Let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim. Let the earth quake!

People: The Lord is great in Zion. He is exalted over all people and all nations.

Leader: Let them praise your great and awesome name. Holy is he!

People: Mighty King, lover of justice, you have established equity. You have executed justice and righteousness.

Leader: Extol the Lord our God. Worship at his footstool. Holy is he!

People: Extol the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy.

Father in heaven, we thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. On the first Palm Sunday, He declared that He was the long expected Messiah. But by the end of the week, the crowds who adored Him called for His crucifixion. However, You raised Him from the dead, and You proved that He did all things well according to Your will. Father, we adore You and love You for the great sacrifice You and Your Son made in our behalf, that You could extend mercy to us justly. Fill us now with Your Holy Spirit that we might be guided and empowered to live holy for You. And now we pray together as Jesus taught us to pray: “Our Father. . .”
