Morning

Behold the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me (Psalm 103:1a)

Invitatory Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come into the Lord’s presence with singing.

We know that you are God.

It is you that made us, and we are yours.

we are your people and the sheep of your pasture.

We enter your gates with thanksgiving,

and your courts with priase.

We give thanks to you, bless your name.

For you, O Lord, are good;

your steadfast love endures forever,

and your faithfulness to all generations.

Psalms 71, 72

Daily Lectionary Reading, Psalm 103:1-8

Let my whole being [l] bless the LORD! Let everything inside me bless his holy name! 2 Let my whole being bless the LORD and never forget all his good deeds: 3 how God forgives all your sins, heals all your sickness, 4 saves your life from the pit, crowns you with faithful love and compassion, 5 and satisfies you with plenty of good things so that your youth is made fresh like an eagle’s. 6 The LORD works righteousness; does justice for all who are oppressed. 7 God made his ways known to Moses; made his deeds known to the Israelites. 8 The LORD is compassionate and merciful, very patient, and full of faithful love.
