Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.
Psalm 114
Please turn on Subtitles - Hebrew and English.
- When Israel came out of Egypt:
the house of Jacob from among
the people of an alien tongue, - Judah became the Lord's temple:
and Israel became God's kingdom. - The sea fled at the sight of it:
and Jordan turned back in its course. - The mountains skipped like rams:
and the hills like yearling sheep. - Why was it that you fled O sea:
and you Jordan that you turned back. - you mountains that you skipped like rams:
and you hills like yearling sheep? - Tremble O earth at the presence of the Lord:
at the presence of the God of Jacob, - who turned the hard rock into a pool of water:
and the flint-stone into a gushing spring.
Old Testament Reading - All will call on the Lord
8But the Lord says, “Be patient; the time is coming soon when I will stand up and accuse these evil nations. For it is my decision to gather together the kingdoms of the earth and pour out my fiercest anger and wrath upon them. All the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9“At that time I will change the speech of my returning people to pure Hebrewa so that all can worship the Lord together. 10My scattered people who live in the Sudan,b beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, will come with their offerings, asking me to be their God again. 11And then you will no longer need to be ashamed of yourselves, for you will no longer be rebels against me. I will remove all your proud and arrogant people from among you; there will be no pride or haughtiness on my holy mountain. 12Those who are left will be the poor and the humble, and they will trust in the name of the Lord. 13They will not be sinners, full of lies and deceit. They will live quietly, in peace, and lie down in safety, and no one will make them afraid.”
. . . . .Zephaniah 3:8-13- Literally, “I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech.” See Isaiah 19:18.

Confession
Almighty and merciful God,
we have sinned against you,
in thought, word and deed.
We have not loved you with all our heart.
We have not loved others
as our Saviour Christ loves us.
We are truly sorry.
In your mercy forgive what we have been,
help us to amend what we are,
and direct what we shall be;
that we may delight in your will
and walk in your ways,
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.
