Call to Worship
One:
Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
All:
Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
One:
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
All:
For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
One:
It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High.
All:
We declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night.
Amen.
Psalm 51:6-13
Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
