Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ
Himself, our King and our God.
Bless the Lord, O my soul; O Lord my God, Thou hast
been magnified exceedingly. Confession and majesty
hast Thou put on, Who coverest Thyself with light as
with a garment, Who stretchest out the heaven as it
were a curtain; Who supporteth His chambers in the
waters, Who appointeth the clouds for His ascent,
Who walketh upon the wings of the winds, Who
maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of
fire. Who establisheth the earth in the sureness thereof;
it shall not be turned back forever and ever. The abyss
like a garment is His mantle; upon the mountains shall
the waters stand. At Thy rebuke they will flee, at the
voice of Thy thunder shall they be afraid. The
mountains rise up and the plains sink down, unto the
place where Thou hast established them. Thou
appointedst a bound that they shall not pass, neither
return to cover the earth. He sendeth forth springs in
the valleys; between the mountains will the waters run.
They shall give drink to all the beasts of the field; the
wild asses will wait to quench their thirst. Beside them
will the birds of the heaven lodge, from the midst of
the rocks will they give voice. He watereth the
mountains from His chambers; the earth shall be
satisfied with the fruit of Thy works. He causeth the
grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the
service of men, to bring forth bread out of the earth;
and wine maketh glad the heart of man. To make his
face cheerful with oil; and bread strengtheneth manโs
heart. The trees of the plain shall be satisfied, the

cedars of Lebanon, which Thou hast planted. There
will the sparrows make their nests; the house of the
heron is chief among them. The high mountains are a
refuge for the harts, and so is the rock for the hares. He
hath made the moon for seasons; the sun knoweth his
going down. Thou appointedst the darkness, and there
was the night, wherein all the beasts of the forest will
go abroad; young lions roaring after their prey, and
seeking their food from God. The sun ariseth, and they
are gathered together, and they lay them down in their
dens. Man shall go forth unto his work, and to his labor
until the evening. How magnified are Thy works, O
Lord! In wisdom hast Thou made them all. The earth
is filled with Thy creation. So is this great and spacious
sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, small
living creatures with the great. There go the ships;
there this leviathan, whom Thou hast made to play
therein. All things wait on Thee, to give them their
food in due season; when Thou givest it them, they
will gather it. When Thou openest Thy hand, all things
shall be filled with goodness; when Thou turnest away
Thy face, they shall be troubled. Thou wilt take their
spirit, and they shall cease; and unto their dust shall
they return. Thou wilt send forth Thy Spirit, and they
shall be created; and Thou shalt renew the face of the
earth. Let the glory of the Lord be unto the ages; the
Lord will rejoice in His works. Who looketh on the
earth and maketh it tremble, Who toucheth the
mountains and they smoke. I will sing unto the Lord
throughout my life, I will chant to my God for as long
as I have my being. May my words be sweet unto Him;
I will rejoice in the Lord. O that sinners would cease
from the earth, and they that work iniquity, that they
should be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul. The sun
knoweth his going down. Thou appointedst the
darkness, and there was the night. How magnified are
Thy works, O Lord! In wisdom hast Thou made them
all.

Reader: Thus saith the Lord: Comfort ye, comfort
ye My people, saith God. Speak, ye priests, unto
the heart of Jerusalem; comfort her, for her
humiliation is at an end, because her sin is
pardoned, for she hath received of the Lord's hand
double for her sins. The voice of one crying in the
wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
straight the paths for our God. Every valley shall
be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be
brought low; and all the crooked ways shall
become straight, and the rough ways shall become
smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of
God. Get thee up into a high mountain, thou that
bringest good tidings to Sion; lift up thy voice with
strength, thou that bringest good tidings to
Jerusalem, lift it up, be not afraid; I am the Lord
God, I, the God of Israel, will hearken and will not
forsake them, but will open rivers on the
mountains and fountains in the midst of the plains.
I will turn the wilderness into meadow and the
thirsty land into water-courses. Let heaven above
rejoice and let the clouds sprinkle down
righteousness; let the earth shine and let mercy
sprout forth and let righteousness dawn forth
together. With a voice of gladness declare ye, and

let it be heard; declare it even to the end of the
earth, say ye: The Lord hath redeemed His servant

out of the rock for them. Rejoice, O barren one,
thou that bearest not, break forth and cry aloud,
thou that travailest not; for more are the children
of the desolate than of her which hath a husband.

shall come unto you in judgment, and will be a
swift witness against the wicked, and against
adulterers, and against them that swear falsely in
His Name, and those that fear Him not, saith the
Lord Almighty; for I am the Lord your God and I

away from the law and have not kept it. Wherefore
return unto Me and I will return unto you, saith the
Lord Almighty, and all nations shall call you
blessed. Learn ye that I am the Lord that doth
discern between the righteous and the iniquitous,

Reader: Though the righteous be overtaken with
death, yet shall he be at rest. The righteous that is
dead shall condemn the ungodly which are living;
for they shall see the end of the righteous, and shall
not understand what hath been determined
concerning him. For the Lord will hurl them down
speechless; and He shall shake them from their
foundations; and they shall be utterly laid waste in
anguish, and their memorial shall perish. For they
shall come in dread unto the reckoning of their
sins, and their own iniquities shall convict them to
their face. Then shall the righteous man stand in
great boldness before the face of such as have
afflicted him, and made no account of his labors.
When they see it, they shall be troubled with
terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the
strangeness of his salvation. For they repenting
and groaning for anguish of spirit shall say within
themselves, Was this he, whom we had sometimes
in derision, and a proverb of reproach? We fools
accounted his life madness, and his end to be
without honor: How then is he numbered among
the sons of God, and his lot is among the saints?
Therefore, have we erred from the way of truth,
and the light of righteousness hath not shined unto
us, and the sun of righteousness rose not upon us.
We filled ourselves with the way of iniquity and
destruction, and have walked in ways not to be
trodden: but as for the way of the Lord, we have
