9th Matins

Psalm 47

Clap your hands all you peoples:
cry out to God with shouts of joy.
For the Lord most high is to be feared:
and is the great sovereign over all the earth.
The Lord has subdued the peoples under us:
and the nations under our feet.
The Lord chose a land to be our heritage:
it is the pride of Jacob whom God loves.
God has gone up with shouts of triumph:
the Lord has gone up with a fanfare of trumpets.
Song praises, sing praises to God:
sing praises, sing praises to our king.
For God is the king of all the earth:
sing praises with your utmost skill.
God reigns over the nations:
God is seated on a holy throne.
The princes of the nations assemble:
with the people of the God of Abraham.
For the mighty ones of the earth
have become the servants of God:
the Lord is exalted over all.

Collect

Gracious God,
you have given us much today;
grant us also a thankful spirit.
Into your hands we commend ourselves
and those we love.
Be with us still, and when we take our rest
renew us for the service of your Son Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Listening

Come now, Holy Spirit,
and open our hearts to hear God’s voice.
Come now, Word of God, and transform us.

Thanksgiving

Thank Him for 3 things that happened today (Good or Not!)

Closing Prayer

Ruler of the everlasting kingdom,
Prince of peace,
champion of the despised:
You are the king;
You make a cross your throne;
You wear a crown of thorns;
You call your subjects friends.
Help us to take up our cross,
To hunger and thirst for all that is good;
Then will your kingdom come
on earth as in heaven.
Amen
