“The splendor of God’s holiness” Psalm 96:1-9 (10-13) (antiphon: v. 9a)
9
Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
96
Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
3
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above all gods.
5
For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
6
Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7
Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
8
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering, and come into his courts!
9
Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth!
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
9
Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;[
COLLECT OF THE DAY
O God, the protector of all who trust in You have mercy on us that with You as our ruler and guide we may so pass through things temporal that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our LORD, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
