A Psalm and A Prayer
Psalm 92

Psalm 92

Leader:  It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night.

People: For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work. At the works of your hands I sing for joy.

Leader: How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep! Though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever.

People: But you, O Lord, are on high forever. For your enemies shall perish. All evildoers shall be scattered.

Leader: The righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar. They are planted in the house of the Lord. They flourish in the courts of our God.

People: In old age they still produce fruit. They are always green and full of sap, showing that the Lord is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

O God, You are the delight and joy of our lives. You never fail us, though we sometimes fail You. Though we sometimes sin against You and others, You always love and forgive us when we come to You. Fill us now with Your Holy Spirit, and heal all our dis-ease and diseases. Hear us now, as we pray in the name of Jesus Christ: “Our Father. . .”
