Adapted from Psalm 20:6-7

Now this I know: 

The Lord gives victory to his anointed. 

He answers from his heavenly sanctuary 

With the victorious power of his right hand. 

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, 

But we trust in the name of the Lord our God. 

God, we proclaim our faith in you as we worship you today.

Adapted from Psalm 23

Leader: God, You are my shepherd, I shall not want.

People: You make me lie down in green pastures; You lead me beside still waters; You restore my soul. You lead me in right paths for Your name’s sake.

Leader: Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff — they comfort me.

People: You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Leader: Let us worship the Lord.

Adapted from Proverbs 3:13-18

Leader: Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,
People: for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
Leader: She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
People: Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
Leader: Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
People: She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.
