|
|
| Yahweh Sabaoth, the God of Israel, says this, “. . . My one command to them was this: Listen to my voice, then I will be your God and you shall be my people. In everything, follow the way that I mark out for you, and you shall prosper.” |
| Jeremiah 7:21, 23 |

The Midday Psalm |
|
The LORD Will Bless Both Small and Great Who Trust Him |
| Not to us, O LORD, not to us,* but to your Name give glory; because of your love and because of your faithfulness. Why should the heathen say,* “Where then is their God?” Our God is in heaven;* whatever he wills to do he does. Their idols are silver and gold,* the work of human hands. They have mouths, but they cannot speak;* eyes have they, but they cannot see; They have ears, but they cannot hear;* noses, but they cannot smell; They have hands, but they cannot feel; feet, but they cannot walk;* they make no sound with their throat. Those who make them are like them,* and so are all who put their trust in them. O Israel, trust in the LORD;* he is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD;* he is their help and their shield. You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD;* he is their help and their shield. The LORD has been mindful of us, and he will bless us;* he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; He will bless those who fear the LORD,* both small and great together. |
| Psalm 115:1–13 |
|
The Refrain |
|
|
| Happy are they all who fear the LORD,* and who follow in his ways! |

The Lord’s Prayer |

| Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name. May your kingdom come, and your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for yours are the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. |
|
The Prayer Appointed for the Week |

| O God, who by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light: Grant that I, who have been raised with him, may abide in his presence and rejoice in the hope of eternal glory; through Jesus Christ my Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be dominion and praise for ever and ever. Amen. † |
