Adapted from Psalm 77:16-20Â
When the waters saw you, O God, Â
When the waters saw you, they were afraid;Â
The very deep trembled. The clouds poured out water;Â
The skies thundered; your arrows flashed on every side.Â
The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;Â
Your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.Â
Your way was through the sea, you path, through the mighty waters;Â
Yet your footprints were unseen. You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. We praise you for your mighty, wondrous deeds!Â

Adapted from Psalm 98:1-4
Pastor: Oh, sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
All: The LORD has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
Pastor: He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
All: Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!

Adapted from Psalm 104:24-34, 35b (NRSV)
Leader: O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Yonder is the sea, great and wide, creeping things innumerable are there, living things both small and great. There go the ships, and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.Â
People: These all look to you to give them their food in due season; when you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand they are filled with good things. When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground.Â
Leader: May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works–who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke.Â
People: We will sing to the Lord as long as we live; we will sing praise to our God while we have being. May our meditation be pleasing to him, for we rejoice in the Lord. Bless the Lord, O our souls. Let us praise the Lord!
