Psalm 19 for Sunday 7th March 2021

1The heavens are telling the glory of God

and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

2One day pours out its song to another

and one night unfolds knowledge to another.

3They have neither speech nor language

and their voices are not heard,

4Yet their sound has gone out into all lands

and their words to the ends of the world.

5In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun

that comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber

and rejoices as a champion to run his course.

6It goes forth from the end of the heavens

and runs to the very end again

and there is nothing hidden from its heat

7The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;

the testimony of the Lord is sure

and gives wisdom to the simple.

8 The statutes of the Lord are right and rejoice the heart;

the commandment of the Lord is pure

and gives light to the eyes.

9 The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever;

the judgements of the Lord are true

and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold,

more than much fine gold,

sweeter also than honey,

dripping from the honeycomb.


11 By them also is your servant taught

and in keeping them there is great reward

12Who can tell how often they offend

O cleanse me from my secret faults!

13Keep your servant also from presumptuous sins

lest they get dominion over me;

so shall I be undefiled,

and innocent of great offence.

14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable in your sight,

O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.

Psalm 104 for Sunday 7th February 2021

  Psalm 104 verses 26-33 26  O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. 27 There is the sea, spread far and wide, and there move creatures beyond number, both small and great. 28 There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan which you have made to play in the deep. 29 All of these look to you to give them their food in due season. 30 When you give it them, they gather it; you open your hand and they are filled with good. 31 When you hide your face they are troubled; when you take away their breath, they die and return again to the dust. 32 When you send forth your spirit, they are created and you renew the face of the earth. 33 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever; may the Lord rejoice in his works;
