Adapted from Psalm 9

Leader:            The Lord reigns forever, and rules the nations with fairness.

People:           The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

Leader:            Sing praises to the Lord who reigns in Jerusalem;

                        Tell the world about God’s unforgettable deeds.

People:           The needy will not be ignored forever;

                        The hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.

All:                  Let us worship God!

People: Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps faith forever.

Leader: The Lord sets the prisoners free, opens the eyes of the blind, and lifts up those who are bowed down. People: The Lord will reign forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the Lord!

Leader: Let us worship God!
