Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ was lifted high upon the cross that he might draw the whole world to himself: Mercifully grant that we, who glory in the mystery of our redemption, may have grace to take up our cross and follow him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
1Be joyful in God, all you lands; *sing the glory of his Name; sing the glory of his praise.
2Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! *because of your great strength your enemies cringe before you.
3All the earth bows down before you, *sings to you, sings out your Name.”
4Come now and see the works of God, *how wonderful he is in his doing toward all people.
5He turned the sea into dry land, so that they went through the water on foot, *and there we rejoiced in him.
6In his might he rules for ever; his eyes keep watch over the nations; *let no rebel rise up against him.
7Bless our God, you peoples; *make the voice of his praise to be heard;
8Who holds our souls in life, *and will not allow our feet to slip.
9For you, O God, have proved us; *you have tried us just as silver is tried.
10You brought us into the snare; *you laid heavy burdens upon our backs.
11You let enemies ride over our heads; we went through fire and water; *but you brought us out into a place of refreshment.
12I will enter your house with burnt-offerings and will pay you my vows, *which I promised with my lips and spoke with my mouth when I was in trouble.
13I will offer you sacrifices of fat beasts with the smoke of rams; *I will give you oxen and goats.
14Come and listen, all you who fear God, *and I will tell you what he has done for me.
15I called out to him with my mouth, *and his praise was on my tongue.
16If I had found evil in my heart, *the Lord would not have heard me;
17But in truth God has heard me; *he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
18Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer, *nor withheld his love from me.
1May God be merciful to us and bless us, *show us the light of his countenance and come to us.
2Let your ways be known upon earth, *your saving health among all nations.
3Let the peoples praise you, O God; *let all the peoples praise you.
4Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, *for you judge the peoples with equity and guide all the nations upon earth.
5Let the peoples praise you, O God; *let all the peoples praise you.
6The earth has brought forth her increase; *may God, our own God, give us his blessing.
7May God give us his blessing, *and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.
